  1. Just to get an approximate idea of how many Kona EV's "bricked" by software error code have had this happen after charging to 100%. I have also included less than 100% and no charging at all (just bricked itself). All MY's are included, I just grouped them to Pre and MY 2021(forgot to add MY 2022, but feel free to add into 2021 group, and detail in replies)
    Feel free to add any details in your responses. (mostly DC charge, mostly AC charge, mileage, location)

    AC 240v charge to 80%, probably about 12,000 miles. At home.
     
  4. It would be helpful to know whether the bricked vehicles were manufactured on or after April 2020.

    A post in another thread says that "in March 2020 they added extra insulation on the anodes of each cell." Were there bricked batteries with a later manufacture date?

    There's a date on a sticker underneath my 2021 Kona, just forward of the rear wheel. Not sure if it's the manufacture date of the pack, but it's not any earlier than that.

    There are other labels, but on my car they are tucked up behind the left rear suspension on the rear-facing edge of the battery pack, and don't have additional date information (unless it's in Korean).
     
  5. Unless @electriceddy wants to do it, I could post another poll asking for battery pack date on bricked cars.

    What do people think about these choices:
    • Label date before March 2020
    • Label date March 2020
    • Label date April 2020
    • Label date after April 2020
    I don't think the model year makes a difference.
     
  6. Or would we prefer to know about the part number? A battery dated 11/18/19 was 37501-K4051. My battery (12/1/20) is 37501-K4054. At some point the battery type was changed "offering more energy density with less weight and volume (slight chemistry alteration)."
    It might be helpful if people who answer the poll could post both the date and part number. Again, the sticker on my car is on the bottom of the battery pack, just forward of the left rear wheel.
