EV3

Went to Hendy Bournemouth yesterday for the launch of the EV3 . Don't like it! Only MY opinion! Ugly! like all the new Kia SUVs. SWMBO described it as "A box on wheels". Just about sums it up. EV9 lovely looking car, why do they have 'uglyfi' the SUVs? Boot appears no bigger than my 71 reg...

Is this normal?

I had a 200 mile trip to do today and so (as a rare occurrence) charged my 3 year old 13,000 mile eNiro to 100% to avoid the rather scarce public chargers along the A27. This is the result. I am astounded! last year in the hot summer I managed 313miles to a 100% charge. is this normal or is it some ...

Re: Illogical

21 reg eNiro 4+ How about this for STOOPID? In the 'Search charging points' screen it lists ALL charging points within a set range. INCLUDING private houses. If you didn't know the area you could use up your last 'volt' going to a charger you can'r use (without being bloody cheeky!) Why don't they j...

Re: 12 Volt Battery discharging

When I bought my year old eNiro, the system warned me that it was out of date. I checked the web site and it required a massive download onto a massive memory stick (then plug stick into car and download) and I only have 1Mb download speed. You may be ok if you have high speed fibre. If you don't yo...

Re: 2021 eNiro SERVICE INTERVALS. ADDENDUM !

I Have spoken with Kia and the definitive answer is.........
Old shape (i:e:-eNiro) remains on 10k miles or annual service.
Post 2022 NEW shape Niro EV is 20k miles or TWO years.
Hope this clears it up for anyone else in my situation. :D
