Even though the battery tested fine the problem went when I replaced the battery.
Also, most car manufacturers know that customers are generally bad at doing the "correct" thing, so they protect their batteries by design.
When you are charging to 100% you are actually closer to 95-97%, when you run your car to 0% it's actually 5-7%
All because it's easier to show you another number and build the protection into the system, than to change people's habits.
My Kia EV6 does 10-80 in 18 minutes which is getting close, IMO. It\u2019s certainly enough for me
You can get an Deka AUX18L from batterymart.com for $159 shipped to your door. Deka is the OE manufacturer of the BMW battery for the i3. My original battery lasted 7 years, it’s a no-brainer.
My 2019 e Niro has done 67k miles and range has not dropped significantly. Over 300 miles suburban in summer and around 230 motorway miles with heating in the winter.
We have a Kia Niro PHEV and love it. I get around 3000km per tank because for the most part I'm just not using gas.
Jumped a cascadia '21 with my 2014 Kia Sorento
Of course you do. 16-19 kWh/100km to 20-23 kWh/100km. Kia EV6.
I bought a ‘24 GT with 5k miles and regret it every day. The battery had to be replaced at 9k miles and we had a loaner for a 5 weeks. Everyday issues like Carplay not working 50% of the time and the backup sensors being way too sensitive drive me insane.
I have a Kia Soul that goes through the OEM batteries every two-three years.
