Anyone own or uses a Kia all electric car?
I have a Kia EV6 on free loan for between 3 months and 2 years which is very nice and lovely to drive. But.....
I am having great issues with the 12V battery draining. Can't believe there is a 12V motorbike battery as a spare to 'jump start' (yes electric cars can be) but hey, it gets me up and running when needed.
However am I just missing something when shutting it down? I am sure I am switching everything off but it still drains within a couple of weeks.
Any help or guidance appreciated
thought that when an EV is plugged into a wall socket or fast charger, the 12-volt battery is usually charged at the same time. Are you certain that there isn't some tiny item which is being left on, for example a boot or glove box bulb?
Why are cars so unnecessarily complicated these days? If you bought the car and want to read the manual you might benefit from these extra features.
If you're hiring it for a day it's not so appealing.
One of my dreams is to spend Christmas or the winter holidays in Yorkshire!But the biggest issue. Try charging the thing in rural Yorkshire.
I have a house in Yorkshire and a family from Hampshire is staying here, they come up every winter, they are football mad, they have been coming for 15 years. Each day they go to local grounds, Bradford, Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and so on, they just knock on the door and ask if they come in! They have a walk around, touch the grass and everyone stops and says hi, they are treated like old friends and are invited to the dining room if there is a corporate lunch on. They say that there is no possibility of this welcome at their local clubs.One of my dreams is to spend Christmas or the winter holidays in Yorkshire!
Wow I love it
Wow thanks so much for your reply .I have a house in Yorkshire and a family from Hampshire is staying here, they come up every winter, they are football mad, they have been coming for 15 years.

A lot of this is down to the popularity of the many TV shows like All Creatures and the farm program on Ch 5 with the two brothers, forget the name.
