Kia e-Niro
❗Important Safety Notification❗
We have identified a serious safety issue with the latest version of the Kia e-Niro (2020 model)
This car is currently only available in a limited number of countries (eg The Netherlands) but will be released globally in the coming months.
In certain circumstances, when used with an EV charger such as the myenergi zappi which supports both three phase and single phase charging, the Kia causes a short circuit across the supply. This can cause:
-The main fuses to the property to blow – these will need to be replaced by the electricity distribution or supply company at a cost to the customer
-Damage to the zappi – the zappi will need to be repaired or replaced
-Possible damage to the EV
Although we have been made aware of this problem by our customers we are also aware that other EV charge points have encountered similar problems with the new Kia e-Niro.
We have contacted Kia and are doing what we can to draw their attention to this important safety issue with the e-Niro
