At least here in Finland we may have several DC "fast" chargers in a row touted to have capacity of 250kW, but the whole cluster of chargers max being say 400kW; so come the second and third car charging at the same time and your charging throughput time drops substantially, even if you preconded😂

Why spend money at charging station. Self defeats the purpose of getting an electric car. Charge at home!

Nice tip!

New subscriber here. Interesting issue

Very helpful thanks!

after charging you have a range of 191 miles, what is your real range? Highway/city

I have a white GT over here in England. Similar problem but my dealer checked on the official Kia website and mine is NOT listed as needing the ICCU update. My searches told me that the Kia Connect app can cause 12v battery draining, especially if you set the app to notify you of charge situation and unlocked situation etc etc. The dealers chief tech guy suggested that deleting the Kia Connect app and reinstalling it can clear a problem. Another 'cure' is to set the Kia Connect app to 'OFFLINE', which stops it reporting, and thus reduces the battery drain. I did this and so far no further problems. I do have a multi stage trickle charger in the car, and it is quite simple to plug it into the external VTL socket, which doesn't need the car to 'start' to get power, and to do a short 12v boost - it went from 1 bar to 3 bars in 15 mins.

its like watching paint dry :P

Thanks for the video! Do you have a heat pump in your car? How was the driving in the snow storm?

Makes me nervous to have my recall serviced the following week.. fingers crossed it goes smoothly.

simmilar happend to me, got a new iccu and new battery

if there is something plugged into the white usb cable pull it out as that cable stays hot . I had a android auto wireless plugged into it and it was draining the 12v on my 22 wind.

The car is under warranty but how many times will they “fix” the issue without fixing it. It’s probably more serious than a battery replacement or software update . Could be a short somewhere. Customers don’t have time to go in and out continuously. I remember bringing in my BMW i3 back in 2015 and they kept it 3 months trying to fix it in there garage! Finally I got a lawyer to nix the whole deal after the first year of ownership as it had spent 5 of the 12 months at BMW . This is probably a much easier fix but be vigilant if it continues. The first clause in any car lease/sale contract is that they supply you with a running car not one that spends its time in there garage. Good luck to you. I am now having second thoughts in buying an 2024 ev6 Gt even discounted 9k new!

Let me know how do you like these tires

Thank you for the tutorial I search up on Google saw some videos how to activate it but my car wouldn't go into it until you mentioned that you have to press on the brake and press the paddles at the same time Thank you!

My Ioniq 5 died a few times and used my portable 12v jump pack to get going. My12v was under warranty but dealer had none in stock so went to Costco and purchased an H5 AGM, much better battery and warranty. Have had no issues since. Side note, my Hyundai app kept sending messages to my phone if the door was not locked, think this could hav contributed to running my 12v down to8.8v thus notable to start the car. Good luck with this.

No matter the weather, EA almost always disappoints (Ioniq 5 owner). Over a year and a half I've seen output of 200+ KW maybe twice with 135 being more typical. This is the case even when there are no other cars charging at the same time.

Another dead 12 volt battery!

did it get fixed?

Kia does seem to be cheap. They designed the hell out of the EV6 and they scored big! But again, Kia is cheap about certain things. Also, Kia service and oftentimes customer service sucks real bad. I am starting to think that all EV6 owners with the exception of new 2025s should just go on and preemptively replace their 12 volt battery with a good ass DieHard platinum AGM when they hit that one year mark to be on the safe side. Hopefully, this ICCU issue will eventually get solved. I go in for the ICCU recall update in a couple days. I guess as long as Kia is paying for it, I have no issue although it’s a little annoying. My hope is that this update won’t cause any problems. I know it needs to be done though.

I don't want to see this. My EV6 GT is on the way here right now. I guess I need winter tires anyway, so I think I'll get a set of 20s to replace the 21's. Hopefully they will be less likely to blow.

Never owned anything with low profile tires hu?

I thought it was an “SUV” 😂

Get a car that isn’t gay with more tire than wheel

Get an EV without tires, easy.

Potholes are the biggest fear for any car owner! Do you use Goodyear eagle tires or other brand

I dodge the potholes. My mom would plow straight through them.

Wrong. The major down side of running low profile tires. Never buy a EV or any car with the big wheel option.

I've been charging my car to 95 to 98% Is that a bad thing?

I had the same,since then Im carrying an jumper start it with me. the ICCU has also been done, but just for my state of mind im still carrying it

Great video! As someone shopping for an EV, videos like these give me great overview of what it would be like owning one. (Not related to the video itself: phones have this feature called "zoom-in mic", turn it off. It tries to zoom the mics when you zoom in the video, which works like magic if the sound source is what you're filming. But here it's not - here it's your voice, which is behind the camera. Turn this feature off and you won't sound muffled when you zoom in.)

They just announced a 2nd recall (ref id SC327)for the ICCU problem that is the root cause - it's common to all the Kia/Hyundai EVs sharing that platform. Customers have joined a class-action lawsuit for this very common issue.

Hey I appreciate you making the video I figured that part out but my question was, you know when you click on the GT button. It goes into GT mode with the acid green layout but when you click the GT button again it goes into "My GT Mode" and the cluster isn't in acid green anymore it's white so I was trying to figure out if you could change that white into an acid green also or red. Seems like you can't

Update?

Thanks!

Will work on one for you

So i just got my GT. You know how every mode has a different color for example sport has red and GT has green so when you have it in "my GT mode" with your custom drivetrain modes can you also change the color on your gauge cluster like I could make it green or red? I can't seem to figure it out, can make a video or tell me in the comments

Will work on one

Yes you can customize the colors.

Also I noticed this on my car. My car is brand new but whenever I turn left or right hardly as if I'm pulling out the driveway it makes a tuk tuk noise as if it's grinding against something or rubbing against plastic not sure if you have that problem as well

Hey so I bought my GT 2 days ago. The dealer said all the ICCU and OTA updates were up to date

Thank you for updating your most unfortunate situation. People need to be aware of what could happen after this latest update. You are the 2nd poster I know who has had issues after the update was done. Makes me nervous to get it.

After my recent ICCU update issues did charge at my full 40amp out of my Emporia Level 2 charge and 100% and had no issues. It could be because it's colder or something with the ICCU software update. As of right now it's taking all the power my charge can put out.

My Hyundai ioniq electric 2019 having issues as well 😢

Kia so cheap they didn’t give you a AGM battery that they are putting in the 2025s

I have a 2023 GT. They replaced it with KIA OEM battery 37110 H5001C 550CCA 105 RC

So what was the cause or error? How do you know it won’t brick again soon? My appt for the recall is Tuesday for sc327 I got sc302 in May when I got my car in May no issues so far Now seeing your vids I’m temped to cancel the appt

Mine is on currently. First time I've seen that. Maybe due to it being so cold?

Would a trickle charger help avoid this issue? In other brands when the 12V is drained or dead, it hurts the module in the car connecting the 12v to the HV battery.
