  1. Kia Niro
    Hi all. Has anyone experienced early wheel bearing failure on an Kia eNiro? I've got a car just over a year old and one of the rear bearings has failed at 29k. The local dealership isn't considering this a warranty job (wear and tear item) but I just think that this is really premature!

    Can't find any information on this after searching and the app itself doesn't have anything in it that I can understand so here goes . . . . . . I've added the Kia Connect - vehicle statistics widget to the phone's notification centre, and rather than vehicle statistics, it displays the...
  3. Kia Niro
    Looking to buy my first EV and I have narrowed my options down to two. Brand new Niro EV 2023 or used 2021 Ioniq 5 standard range. Both cost about the same, Niro has more range, Ioniq charges faster, I like both. Which would you choose and why?
  4. Kia EV6
    We love our new EV6, picked up this month. Well, we love everything but the SatNav. That was much better on our 2017 Leaf. 1. The dark map us almost invisible, the light one is blinding at night 2. There is no automatic switch between dark and light modes (unlike the old Nissan), you have to...

    Hi, My Soul FE has already once lost its horn, couple of months back. Took the car to the local Kia dealer, and they fixed it with an explanation of a loose wire. Now the horn has stopped working again?!?! I'll have some choice words for my dealer when I take the car back, but the question...
  6. General Charging Discussion
    I was using a Gridserve rapid charger on Sunday, at Exeter Services. These are ultra-rapid chargers I think, and show on zap-map as 350kW. I noticed that a jag beside me was showing a rate of about 120kW whereas my Soul was at 32kW. I can't remember what level the batteries were already charged...
  7. Kia Soul EV
    I don't know if anyone else has downloaded and installed the May update for the head unit, but I noticed that the date in the version file is the same as the last update we got in February (I was just about to do the update and noticed that in the car, so I restarted the download just to check...

  10. Kia Soul EV
    My Sep'20 Soul has developed knocking which seems to come from the rear suspension. It happens when going over bump, but also when braking and sometimes moving off. Anyone, have similar experience? The car is booked with the local dealer, but what bugs me was the statement that they will...
  11. General Kia EV Discussion
    Yesterday I had a strange experience with the Soul (or maybe I'm going bananas...). On a long trip, done about 90 miles in very reasonable 1h30min, I park at a services for longish wait. I'm certain I glanced at the SOC and that was reading 62%, which is very much in line with my expectations...

    *I've updated the information and created a new post for this car * Hi there, I'm unfortunately looking to sell my Kia Soul EV. I purchased this can in November 2020 and it has easily been the best car I've owned. I looked at and tested a Leaf (24 & 30kWh) and the Renault Zoe, but as soon as I...
  16. General Kia EV Discussion
    Hi, I'm on the March update (I think) and yesterday I had to travel using the M6 Toll. I wanted to avoid it, so decided to change my settings and went looking for the option. It is commonly something like "avoid tolls", but it wasn't there anymore. I found "avoid vignetted roads", but it did...
  17. General Charging Discussion
    Hi there, new here and hoping for advice please. I'm getting a Kia eNiro 4+ in May with the Kia supplied 11kw 3 phase charger, but can't find any details about this charger. My electrician queried why they were supplying 3 phase chargers for domestic users and asked if it is compatible with home...

    Just received an email from my dealer about a safety recall for my Soul EV 64kWh. No further details, just that it is "potential safety issue ". Anyone else?
  19. General EV Discussion
    OK, I'm due to collect my first EV on Thursday (26th) and called my current insurer M & S, for my car (Ford C-Max 2.0 Titanium Diesel 2007) to get a price. I was assuming that they'd be able to give me a price and maybe have to pay a small fee to change the car over... no. The current...
  20. General EV Discussion
    Hi all Newbie to the forum here, although I have been lurking for a while. I'm about to sign a lease on a Kia E-Niro through ALD Automotive. I believe they are the company that run Kia's leases. But a search on the web is not a pretty sight. Can anyone with an ALD lease comment on their...
