ice

In the winter electric vehicles (EVs) have a problem with snow and ice accumulating in the wiper area at the base of the windshield because there is no gas engine throwing out a ton of waste energy in the form of heat. There are lots of windscreen covers to help solve the issue for EVs, but not...

In this video I feature the EV6 version of the port cover in this video, but Guillaume makes them for a wide variety of EVs and has them listed on his website, hence the reason I posted this in the General section instead of under Kia EV6. I hope you like it...

I was not planning on making this video, but when we had the small ice/snow storm over night this Wednesday January 4th the opportunity presented itself so yesterday I pulled out the cameras and microphone and made this video. What happens when the Kia EV6 door handles get covered in ice? Do...

Just read an article from Detroit Free Press about a report by AEG on the "true cost" of EV vs. ICE. Didn't see anything on here yet, so I thought I'd link to the original report and ask for your thoughts...

I would love to get some feedback from fellow EV owners: evcomparetool.com I made this site after realizing there’s a few questions that come up repeatedly from non-EV owners around range, charging and travel. Understanding how owning an electric vehicle will affect you and your lifestyle can...

Why do you think EVs have not replaced ICE vehicles yet? What could actually make people prefer EVs over ICE vehicles?

Other than a low battery, what conditions trigger starting the ICE? Are there ways to avoid that, like preheating the interior or not turn on the climate control?

There gas been a great deal of discussion about the RPM's of the ICE. The context of this has revolved around the Angry Bees, but also at other times when the engine is running with no apparent rhyme or reason. Some have gone so far as to quote numbers (ie: sounds like 5,000 RPM's) when the...

https://imgur.com/a/QYABGWi Took this picture next door from the Tesla delivery center. Only the red Volt in the image (mine) is charging, the other 4 Teslas just parking blocking the charging spots. I understand that people here are not bad meaned, they just thought it was fine to park there...

I Drove about 60 miles in heavy wet snow last evening. After about 20 miles I got the warning message that the auto braking system and smart cruise control were disabled. I thought that the normal cruise control would still work, but could not figure out how to turn it on. The other thing I...

I've read numerous other posts about people who are wondering about why the ICE is coming on in different situations (going down a hill for example) but I thought I'd share my experience because I haven't seen anything about my specific case happening. Forgive me if I missed a previous thread in...

So far there are a lot of threads regarding how you should maintain the battery for longevity. Since we would be driving using the battery mostly, what should we do to help keep the ICE lasting as long as the battery? How often to empty the gas tank to keep from oxidation?

I have had this issue twice 1) Battery full: Low speed drive for 2 miles, mostly stop and go. The car drove with ICE on like it does in HV mode. Would not switch to EV even with switching between ECON/Sport/HV 2) Battery full: Low (25 mph) to freeway (80 mph) speeds in sport mode car ran on ICE...
