If you own an EV from Hyundai, Kia, or Genesis and want to find out hidden details about your EV, like battery state of health (SoH), battery temperature, cell voltages and more, but you aren’t tech-inclined or you don’t want to have your cellphone stuck to your dash, the EVOBD2 adapter is what...

On their website, Kia is displaying the entry-level, electric EV4 Concept they unveiled in October, 2023. It seems safe to assume the EV4 sedan will share a platform with the EV3 crossover that's likely much closer to production-ready. Now that MINI is assuming the incoming Tariffs-R-Us...

It's finally time for the first big change announcement for my YouTube channel and it's in this video. Two years ago I made a Kia EV6 “hidden” features video and finally got around to making part 2. In this video I show you the top 10 Kia EV6 hidden features and how to access them. This way you...

This may be of interest for owners of Hyundai, Kia, or Genesis EVs. Lectron has a V2L adapter and I reviewed it. ----------------------------------- My latest video just went live. Not all parts of this video are based on the new format since I had recorded some of the clips a few months ago...

It has been more than one year since I posted a video to my YouTube channel! I finally managed to get one out the door and posted. This review of the Kia EV9 is not a typical review, it is more about what it is like to use the EV9 with your family on a short 300km road trip, the things I like...

I have a 2020 Kia Niro PHEV and for the last three months have only been able to charge it using an extension cord. I know this is not recommended but I have no choice as I am temporarily renting. I have the Type 1 charger plugged into a 14A outdoor extension cord just outside my front door and...

I bought a 2019 Kia Niro EV, premium, with leather seats, and after a few months of relatively light driving, my lower back is killing me. The bottom cushion seems particularly soft. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there a specific product you recommend as a fix? Otherwise, I...

Before I talk about the car just a word of warning about my dealer Kia of Irvine, California. The purchase process was the absolute worst part of this whole experience. This was their first EV sale and we knew we were not in a position to strike a deal. We planned to pay cash, a big chunk of our...

Disclaimer: I'm posting an almost identical post on the Kia Niro forum, so apologies if you've already seen this. Brand new to this forum, but proud owner of a 2013 Fiat 500e and the unfortunate, current lessee of an ICE vehicle. I am currently living in Texas (happened to find the Fiat 500e at...

About 10 people I know bought a KIA SOUL EV from California and use them where I live in Arizona. They were fantastic the 1st year or two but then I think the HEAT is winning out. Over half have reported a failure of the OBC On Board Charger. Over half have also had battery problems. KIA uses...
