The early model years seem to have an issue with the OBC which eventually requires replacement. Sorry it's out of warranty, get ready for a sticker shock when you take it into the dealer.. Had to do mine this winter. $4000 when everything was all said and done.

I had to replace mine this winter. I was outside of the 160,000km EV powertrain warranty coverage and paid ~$4,000. Double check that claim that you're not covered because you bought it used. Mines used, and was a taxi prior, yet Kia footed the bill when it came to replacing the battery pack under w...

Battery is shot if it's showing that for range. Unless you're able to get it replaced under warranty, pass.

You've gotten approved for the replacement, they're just struggling to source it for whatever reason. From past memory it seems like they have batches where lots of people were waiting then suddenly they all get resolved around the same time. You might just be in that waiting period and hopefully it...

What has your experience been with battery replacement? I have a confirmed case number for a new battery and have been waiting since early October. I have 50km of range and can only get home from work if I charge at work. Now that EV's are increasing in popularity it becomes a race to the charging ...

Did you? Can you point to anyone that has?
