EV6 HV Battery Drain

Just wanted to get people’s thoughts on if they deem this to be normal behaviour, if they have the same issue on their EV6 or if they think this needs to be looked into further.

For content, I’ve owned my 2023 EV6 since February and has done 15k miles total, at times when it is left parking either overnight or for an extended period (6 hours or more), I’ve noticed the HV battery losing charge.

My local Kia dealer has had the car in 5-6 times to look at this and the below has been done by them or I’ve tried:

Infotainment system reset, no APIs connected
Kia Connect disabled and all app disassociated
Tested different drive modes
Nothing left plugged into the car when left
Kia replaced 12v battery under warranty
Kia recalibrated HV battery when charged to 100%

It’s now been a month since the HV battery was recalibrated at Kia and below are examples of battery drain:

23-24.07 - Lost 2% from 85-83% overnight
27.07 - Lost 3% from 53-50% in the afternoon
27-28.07 - Lost 1% from 48-47% overnight
03.08 - Lost 1% from 55-54% between 8:15-2:15
03-04.08 - Lost 1% from 51-50% overnight
04-05.08 - Lost 1% from 46-45% overnight
06.08 - Lost 1% from 43-42% between 8:30-3:30
17-18.08 - Lost 1% from 67-66% overnight
18-19.08 - Lost 2% from 41-39% overnight

The 1% drops I could understand but the 2-3% drops are more of a concern and lead me to think there is another form of phantom drain. My local Kia dealer at this point has been liaising with Kias technical support directly prior to my last visit to try and sort this.

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar issues with their EV6 or if they would class these battery drops as normal behaviour?

Kia XCeed Roof Seal Cracked

Following on from a post I made last month about the below seal having cracked on my XCeed, I’ve raised this with my local Kia dealer, after checking they can’t claim for this under warranty or cover as a goodwill as it’s been deemed to have been damaged by birds - which I don’t agree with. Now in the process of raising a complaint with Kia Customer care, has anyone had any success in getting decisions overturned after contacting customer care?

Seal replacement on XCeed

Has anyone had to replace this seal on an XCeed or another Kia with the sunroof or had any luck going through warranty with this?

The seal around the sunroof appears to be fine, is just the one pictured which runs from front to back on the car.

If you’ve had it replaced, how much did it roughly cost?
