niro ev

For the last two years I had been answering some menu configuration questions on Facebook by creating very short videos, but had never thought about posting them on YouTube until now. I have created a series called EQ (EV-olution Quick) How-To, which are videos that are about 1 minute long. You...

Hello, I have a 2019 Niro EV (SX Touring) with just under 80,000 KMs. My daily commute is mostly highway, 130 KMs round trip. Over the last 6 weeks my car has been briefly going into Power Limited mode during my drives (displays on screen with the turtle, I lose all power, then the message...

The Kia EV6 is an amazing car, but what has Kia learnt from having made the Niro EV four years ago? Have they listened to owners and corrected some annoyances? Has Kia thought of ways to improve on daily use things that we have not? I owned a Kia Niro EV for almost 3 years but sold it to buy...

I am looking into buying a 2020 Niro EV. I have looked at some pictures online and I saw that the Ex Premium with the 10" display have AC vents on the far left/right corners and the ones with the 8" have also AC vents to the left/right of the screen. This 2020 has the 8" display but no vents to...

A while ago a petition was started because Hyundai and Kia electric cars have a challenge when trying to fast charge in very cold weather; they are slow until the battery warms up, even if the vehicles have the winter package. It has come to be known as ColdGate and it is not great for PR but is...

Hi, I picked up my Niro EV a couple weeks ago and each time I use the navigation my only option is to press the button for offline routing. I have the premium so this would be using the car's nav and not my Apple carplay. What am I doing wrong? I can't find any reference to this and I would have...

If your electric vehicle is a couple of years old you may need new tires. What tires should you put on your EV? Are there tires made for EVs? How will it affect the range of your EV? In this video (and in the description of the video) I give you the information that I found, let you know which...

I released this video on Friday morning, so if you ever wondered... How does the Telsa Model Y compare to the Kia Niro EV now that I have driven my Niro for over 2 years? In this video I show you a side-by-side comparison as well as my impressions on acceleration, handling, and road noise...

Hey Guys, I am not sure if this is ok, but I want to give a shout out to the finance guy at Durango, CO KIA. Below is what I posted on Reddit (My account is Datadisney27 and I have photos of my "Ghost" Niro EV and a very close call with a truck video also) I see some post about warranties and...

Some of the points in this video apply to other EVs so here you go … Although it is a great car the Kia Niro EV (e-Niro in Europe) is not perfect, like any car on the market. In this video I list the things I “hate” about my Niro EV, now that I have owned it for almost 2 years and over 36,000km...

Hi all, my 2019 Niro EV is likely to be repurchased as a lemon by the manufacturer due to the faulty motor situation. I'm considering getting another Niro EV, but I just looked and I only see 2020 models for sale. Does anyone else find it odd that we're still waiting for MY2021 cars and we're...

Hello, My Volt lease is up and braving to go in full EV mode. The Niro looks impressive and I am hunting for a good lease deal in bay are, Northern CA region. Love to hear your stories and tips for negotiating. Thanks.

If you have wondered what the differences are for the 2020 model year of the Kia Niro EV (e-Niro) versus the 2019 model, I made this comparison video that shows things in detail. If you have any questions, please let me know. FYI: I forgot to include a picture I took of the motor model, this...

The Kia Niro EV has a weak point that has bothered me since purchasing the car on May 6th 2019, the reverse lights are useless. I found a solution and created this video to help others. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I hope you and your family are healthy and safe during this time of confinement. I have been away from social media, forums, and my YouTube channel for over 1 month now, but I am getting back into it slowly. I finally posted a new video after 2 months, as a followup review to the Tuxmat car...

Here is my first service report. Reached 6,600 miles this week so I took the car in for the 7,500 tire rotation and inspection. First service was complimentary (otherwise $16ish for tire rotation). The service guy said I could do the tire rotation between 5,000 and 7,500 to be within the...

Hello everyone, If you are interested in learning about the nitty gritty details of the Kia Niro EV, I have just released a new video that you may be interested in. I have 2 other videos with more features that you can learn about as well... links are in the description of this video.

Our new Niro EV pulls to the left noticeably when slowing via regen. This is particularly annoying when decelerating from freeway speeds using pure regen (no braking). Anyone else seen this? I assume this is some sort of reverse torque, since there's very slight pull to the right on...

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...

I have an Electrify America Pass+ membership and I use it to charge my 2019 Kia Niro EV here in Texas. According to the information on the Electrify America website, I should not get charged more than $0.15/minute if I don't charge faster than 75 kW. I charged at three different 150 kW...
