If you have followed my and others threads, make sure it has had the ICCU changed. This is a unique to Kia/Hyundai e-GMP cars with 800v rapid charge capability. The circuit fails and then you can’t charge. Blame new technology etc. Upgraded part now. Massive issue with parts shortages as affected numerous cars worldwide at the same time. but I think supplies are better now. I waited 3 months with my car at the dealership. And Hyundai were terrible to deal with. To be fair, parts shortages affect so many car manufacturers at present and over the past 2-3 years. Car been back for a while now and all is forgotten, as it is a lovely car to drive.

Efficiency. Nothing to write home about. The Kona is much more efficient. Blame the excessive weight gain. (And not the bluff front end). It is about 300+kg heavier than the Kona (or e-Niro). But is still an easy all weather 200 mile+ car and plenty more in the summer.

No rear wiper. that is annoying! Especially over the winter months. You can use the excellent rear camera but you shouldn’t need to.

Apart from that it is well built and otherwise reliable. Servicing can be expensive especially the 4 th year service which requires a coolant change. But of a rip,off really.
