OBC Broken
Heya, my 2021 Kona EV (UK) recently stopped charging. I've had issues with it charging since I purchased it in July 2024, but it has fully stopped charging at this point on both AC and DC chargers. Hyundai UK and my local dealership said they could check it out in 3 months. I then learned that if you break down, they prioritise your car to the top. So I broke down in their car park this afternoon (let the battery run out, as it can't be recharged), and they looked at it within 3 hours (hallelujah), but determined the issue is the OBC and a new one is needed. They've quoted me £4,600 and are going to speak with Hyundai UK about covering the cost of the part, and I would need to cover labour (£750). What are my options here? The warranty on the car ran out in April 2026, but this seems ridiculous for the car to be so new and have such an expensive fix already. I'm handy, but it doesn't seem like this is a DIY fix I can do, and I bought this car so new thinking it wouldn't have any issues for several years. I suppose we learn something new every day. Any recommendations?
