Seems like this update brought quirks for both of us! That default to 30 mph must be tricky for cruise. Any idea on the best way to report this to Kia?

I totally get your struggle! I found a sunshade from Automaster on Amazon that fits my EV6 perfectly, and none of that floppy, oversized stuff. It rolls up easily and is one of the silver types. I’ve also tried Heatshield, which cost around $50, I am not so sure though....but it’s high quality...

Hey everyone, this might be a long one. I’m curious if anyone else has noticed a strange issue with the speed limit displays since the last navigation update. Before the update, there was a glitch where the software couldn’t tell the difference between a red light camera and a speed camera, so...

What! Three weeks does seem short for the 12V battery to die. EV batteries are meant to last longer, but it varies.

The V4 Superchargers should allow your Kia EV6 to charge faster since they can handle 800V operation. However, you should keep in mind that many current V4 installations still use the older V3 cabinets, which limit the charging speed to 98kW. So, while the V4s have the potential for full...

Yes, I use Zappi too, it can charge your EV6, but you need to set it to the right mode. If the car requires at least 4.2kW, you'll want to make sure the Zappi is set to a mode that meets that requirement. I usually adjust the settings in the app to get the best performance. Just check that...

This sounds like thee quick check-ins while you were away might have caused some drain, especially if the 12V battery wasn’t getting a good solid charge. Even though the car should use the traction battery to keep the 12V topped up, it sometimes doesn't happen if there are frequent disconnects...

I’ve been using Octopus Intelligent Octopus Go with my Kia EV6 too, and it can be very frustrating, the integration respects the AC charge limit set in the car, and if your car hits that limit long before the slots Octopus calculated, it might trigger a sharp drop in the 12V battery. It’s like...

Hi, I’m still using the Emporia app with my EV6, but I've noticed the same issue with the custom charge limit disappearing after syncing with Kia Connect. I used to adjust it more precisely, but now I can only set it in 10% increments. Logging in and out didn’t help either. As for the 12V...

Uhm, it can be really confusing, especially when you're trying to charge at those 22 kW chargers but only getting 11 kW. Well, it is just like with AC charging, the charging speed depends on your car's capability, the cable, and the charge point. It sounds like you might be hitting the limit of...

I hear you! Long trips can really take a toll on those seats, maybe try adding a cushion or seat pad for some extra comfort

Arrrgh I hate tech glitches! Sometimes the app can be glitchy and not record every trip. Try checking the app settings to see if there’s an option for trip history or syncing issues. If that doesn’t help, you might want to reach out to Kia support for assistance.

Mine did this, too. I messed around with it until I got it set the way I wanted, and now it seems "stuck" there. I think it’s just a quirky interface. Just pay attention when you set it up, and you should be good to go.

Oh man, I had a similar experience when I took my car in for a simple fix and ended up with it sitting for days. It's frustrating when technology goes wrong, especially with something as crucial as a software update. At least you have the Niro as a loaner, but still, what a hassle!

That’s such a rough start! It’s super frustrating to deal with a new car malfunctioning right away. The A/C dying so soon is definitely a red flag, especially with a recall hanging over it. Hopefully, the dealer can sort it out quickly.

That low bumper is a real hazard, especially in bad weather. I’ve had close calls myself, and it’s frustrating when you can’t see those obstacles. Maybe try parking further back or using parking sensors if you have them to help avoid future scrapes.

Oh, totally! Because who doesn't want to add a little extra excitement to their life, right? Just imagine zapping your ICD every time you turn on the car! :D Seriously though, it’s definitely smart to double-check with your doctor before making that leap.

I’ve driven both, and honestly, the Mustang has a smoother ride. The EV6 is nice, but the Mustang just handles bumps and rough roads better in my experience.

I'd be cautious with that recommendation. Heyner wipers might be solid, but you should double-check how they hold up in real-world conditions, especially in heavy rain or snow. Sometimes dealers on YouTube push brands that may not be the best fit for everyone.

Yeah, I’ve been there. When I upgraded the brake controller on my EV6, I didn’t need a re-flash either, it worked fine right out of the box. I would still say check your manual just in case, but from my experience, you’re likely good to go without any extra steps.
