2019 Kia Niro EV pulls to left

[Ryan Tom]

It is definitely not normal. My 2019 Niro EV does not pull in regen when using the paddles. Have you talked to your dealership?

After 2 visits and 2 alignments to the dealership, finally drives straight. Also tested drove another new 2019 Niro EV and it also pulled a little to the left. Alignment Definitely off from factory!

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 acceleration, but not nearly as bad as the left pull.

Did you (or anyone else here) ever get to the bottom of this? Ours has started doing this recently, and the local shop swears it can't be an alignment thing, didn't even want to check it (which is weird, but... guess they're scared of EVs...), and I get their position that it sounds like torque steer, since we've ruled out brakes and such.

Hope you got it resolved so I can point the dealer in the right direction when we take it in... I've had to hand-hold the dealer's service department with every little thing on this car, so I doubt this will be any different. :/
