Hi folks, I live in TO. I have an order in for a EV9 Wind. I have never researched a vehicle like I have this one. I see on the FB EV9 group a lot of talk about charging problems with the 12V battery, connectivity trubs with the connect App, serious concerns with the glass front grill etc. Still I'm really looking forward to getting it ..read more

Like many EV6 owners I’ve had the occasional false positive proximity alert (parking sensors) go off when stopped behind a car. But for me it’s been very rare until I stopped behind a last gen Mercedes-AMG C43 this morning. Then the sensors went nuts. Even following him through 45 mph traffic the alerts kept going. Switched lanes and it stopped, got back behind him and it started up again. Did this about 4 times with same results. While at GM I was involved with these systems and false...

So, I must admit I'm a geek and I have been downloading my trip information monthly since I bought my EV6 and been using it to calculate the total savings I've had owning it (an old shameless post: https://www.kiaevforums.com/threads/total-saved-so-far-in-2022.5415/#post-79896) and I found an issue recently and was wondering if anyone else has seen this discrepancy. First, not only did I learn that they only keep 18 months of data: I also was... KIA Connect Missing Trips ..read more

So I haven't received a satisfactory answer yet on this question, but I have 2023 Kia EV6 wind that only has one key fob--5 button, with remote start but NOT remote smart parking. The car itself, I thought, came equipped with that (don't all 2023 EV6 Winds come with it?) I was told by a Kia parts person that even though a duplicate fob is programmed to the car, and not the original fob, based on my VIN number, I can only get the 5 button version. So my question is why? Are there EV6Winds... ADDITIONAL KEY FOB FOR 2023 EV6 WIND--7 BUTTON OR 5 BUTTON ..read more
