r/KiaEV6

Car is KIA EV6, Earth model from 2022 with 93.000km

12V battery is still a stock one, Delkor Clarios and never gave me a bother.

Tested this morning with power OFF, it showed 11.3V.

Once car was ON and tested again, it was charging it and it was showing 13.4V

Not sure if battery is dying already, but genuinely surprised it’s still running.

Question is, based on the information above is the battery on its way out and should I replace it? Going for a long EU travel next week and don’t want to get stuck somewhere.

Looking also for any recommendations and have you gone with AGM?

I have zero ties to this group, other than following the development process.

The 'beta' version of the manual Pre-Conditioning Module is now available.

Wondering if anyone is using this kit from ev-vida? Looks great on pictures the trunk on the ev6 can use a lot more light!

My EV6 parked next to coworker's IONIQ 6 (a couple years older) for the first time. Easier to spot the differences, including the faux grille on the Kia. Of course, hers is also sloped more like a coupe and mine is more crossovery.

Also wondered for the first time what the little glowing orange light on her dashboard was. I just Googled, and learned it shows that the car is charging the 12V battery from the high voltage battery.

[Edit: Corrected model of coworker's car. I am much less familiar with Hyundais.]

Picked up my first EV and spent the day driving it around. Absolutely delighted with it and such a nice driving experience but very easy to speed in. You don't even realise your speed it's so effortless. Haven't sorted a charger yet so am definitely open to suggestions. Thinking about a Zappi but won't rule anything out. Cheers for all the info on here, it's been great to be able to read some real works experiences and comparisons.

A true v4 supercharger just opened to non-Teslas near us (Campbell, CA) and in a quick test starting at 48% SOC I hit 256kW at 53% SOC on our 2025 EV6. It dropped to about 180kW at 55% SOC.

This is an urban charging station, but hopefully more of these will start to become available for road-tripping.

New 2025 gtline awd. Love it so far, lots of space and it's comfortable.

4 days after I picked up my ev6 from being rear-ended, a lady merged into my driver side and pushed me into the curb. Everyone was okay. Almost every surface below the glass on the driver side is dented or all scratched. The hood also has a dent in it. The passenger side has a blown out tire and two messed up rims.

Question...should I start looking for a new car? The damage to the bumper area alone cost insurance $9,500 (last accident). I'm in Ohio and they use Cost of Repair + Salvage Value ≥ Actual Cash Value to determine a total. It is a lease*

Not completely sure what I’m doing here so was hoping for some feedback. This is for a new 2025 KIA ev6 WIND paying only 1st month. Thank you.

Picked up this 2023 Wind last night. Getting my home charger installed on Friday. First EV, first car in a long time that’s not a third row or big SUV. Very much looking forward to driving something sportier again.

saw a lot of kia ev6 being used as uber taxi while in busan and yeosu last week. saw one that has near 400k kms and has no rattle or issues at all..

Hello r/KiaEV6,

I'm Greg, the developer behind IONIQ 5 Companion (original announcement here). Version 2.0 is in beta, and I'm working to add official Kia EV6 support. The app trended as high as #3 in App Store Utilities last week.

The ask: I'm looking for ~5 EV6 owners willing to capture a diagnostic log during a DC fast-charging session. The app currently has trouble reliably detecting when preconditioning kicks in on the EV6 (false positives and false negatives), and a few more real-world logs would let me nail it down.

What you'd need:

• A Kia EV6
• A DC fast-charge trip planned in the next 2–3 days
• A BLE ELM327-compatible OBD-II adapter
• About 1–2 minutes of setup, then ~30 seconds at the end to send me the log

The workflow: Start logging right before you turn on preconditioning → leave it running for the drive, the charging session, and the drive home → stop logging after you turn the car off → send me the file (10–20 MB)

What's in the log: Diagnostic CAN traffic, app state, charging-session timestamps. Your VIN is encrypted with my public key in the file — I can decrypt it on my end, but no one else can. No GPS, no personal data.

What you get:

• Free beta access indefinitely (constant updates, new features)
• A promo code for the v2.0 App Store release when it ships
• Your EV6's data directly shaping how the app supports your car

Drop a DM if you're interested.

(Android folks — version is in development, hang tight.)
