Regular maintenance? (2020 Kona EV)

I bought a used 2020 model with 30K miles in February. I didn’t do much research, but so far I have no regrets...In fact it’s my favorite car to drive in a long time — and I’ve owned Toyotas, Acuras/Hondas, Subarus, and several other makes. I f*cking love it…it’s so much fun to drive in “sport”mode!

I haven’t found any warning signs, such as the dreaded “wheel of fortune“ sound. But I’m curious if anyone can point me to recommended ongoing service checks and/or maintenance I can do myself. In particular any fluid/oil types I might want to stock up on in advance of possible shortages this summer. I know I can get some of this from HyundaI, but don’t always trust manufacturer recs. Thanks. 🙏

Does the replacement/recall battery have greater range? (2020 limited)

I set my charge limit to 80% for overnight charging (AC level one) and was surprised it charged to 245 miles. Guessing it’s a BMS issue, but curious if the newer batteries have greater capacity. I just bought this car in February—loving it so far!
