To the best of my knowledge it is attached to the vin. If you trade the car I to Tesla they will strip it of the free supercharging. It it gets handed down from private seller to private seller then it stays with the car.

I know nothing about tesla. Does the free charging stay with the vehicle indefinably? SO new owners get it when they buy it from the old owner? Also if the Battery is replaced does the free charging continue. This car is 10 years old so I imagine that a new Bat is on the horizon.

I'm actually surprised at the range that 2014 gets. My 2022 model 3 LR claims ~240mi at 80%. Maybe it's been abused before I got it though.

Gay

What is the build date in the door? Interesting to see the newer autopilot/turn signal unit vs what other 14s without autopilot have

3.5 kWh per move us a bit high

you shared useful trip~📹

The European cars don't have this.

You need a software update, that would take care of it…

What about eco?

Plus an average of $200 per month more in payments

I wonder if they will replace the J1772 to correct the issue. I think your suspicion and results seem to prove its the charge port itself, which also seems like pretty good news.

In EU we get a full 7 year subscription for all Kia Connect features included with the car. Surprised to hear that is not the case elsewhere!

Sorry you had to do this, this is helping to convince me that I shouldn't buy this vehicle right now.

That is shockingly bad. :(

I find when my EV6 gt-line sits in the sun all day when I'm at work it starts off with horrible range when I crank the AC. Once I drive and the car cools down my range seems to go back to normal.

So… the Guess-o-Meter speculated that a 100% charge would give you 284 miles when you departed, but estimated a 100% charge would only give you 259 miles when you ended -25 miles less. Sounds about right, and typical with EVs. Those discrepancies have been the "norm" with the 3 EVs I've owned over the last 13 years.

Yup. This is also the case in my Ioniq 5. I'll see that light come on once in a while, especially when I've been using power from the 12V battery (playing music?) while parked and not plugged in. It's nice to be able to see that happen, as my previous two EVs gave no indication when and if it was happening.

I haven’t searched for anything even remotely related to this, but the algorithm suggested it anyways. I stayed for the whole thing and was gripped the entire time. 10/10

Hello Can you tell me how to open the car if the key is left in the cabin and the battery is dead? The car just arrived from America and I don’t know how to get inside

01:00 - 3.1 kW per mile is terrible! Perhaps you meant 3.1 miles per kW.

I just got mine two weeks ago and car was parked at work when I got in the orange light was already on when I started the car it went off. Is it normal for that to happen I always thought it would come light up when the car is on only …

Great video explaining the light.

Why is your range diminished? Mine seems fine on 100*f days.

That thing is actually pretty cool looking

Nice work and you kept it interesting. Noticed the TPMS warning. Did you find out which tire(s) were low? Can you post what the pressure was? Do you think that affected your average kW usage? TIA and keep up the great work!

Currently I just drive around town. The only major road trip I have completed so far is the drive home to NC from FL

i love your car lol i wish i woulda got a GT model.

Nice, We have the same body color. i have a gt line RWD.

Thats not bad actually. The way the vehicle optimizes the energy is crazy. I drove 450 miles from cali to Az and my kw per mile was 1.7 - 2.0 pretty bad considering i got a RWD long range model,

How come you didnt go with a long range model if you were going to be doing roadtrips instead of the performance?

KIA had an update to the software. I will do a review of the update. Also I drive 60% of the time in ECO mode with I Peddle on

How did u get that range, holy moly 🙂

Since you are new to EVs, may I suggest a Tesla Model Y Performance? MUCH more efficient, longer range, and oh so fun to drive. There's track mode, where you can change the power bias from axle to axle, set presets for drifting, racing, etc.., and keep an eye on the heat build up on your battery, tires, brakes, and motors. The sound system rocks, all glass roof, carbon fiber spoiler, large brembo brakes, and slightly lowered. The best part of buying- no dealer markup.. "oh, this is a hot car and therefore we have to add a couple thousand.. blah blah") You don't have to pay for EVERY. SINGLE. OPTION. like legacy manufacturers. There are three trims: standard range, Dual motor, and performance. If you choose the Performance model (as I did), you automatically get the highest-spec options, with the exception of paint color, seat color, and Autopilot software. (it comes standard with regular autopilot) I got mine for 42,890 out the door!

definitely charge it to 80% your battery will last much longer. nice vid

Nice car, not really a fan of EVs but good to know that you're enjoying it

For the good start 👍
