Kia Niro EV

Why don't you ask him?

Hi All

Our Eniro is due its first service (15k), but on checking the online booking app (kiaservice.ie) there is a significant variance in costs between locations. Dealer in limerick costing €151 where we bought the car, Clare €123, Tipperary €110. Would the all be doing the same "service"??

So after the firmware update via OBDII, I was told that solved it. It did NOT solve anything.

3 days later it happened again and has also happen twice since (3 since firmware upgrade)

Contacted by Kia dealership and was told not to use Kia Connect preconditioning until I was call back for the update Kia is working on. I use preconditioning regardless. I just leave 3min earlier now to check I can put the car in gear. If not, lock the car and come back 3min later, no need to wait 10min.

K3 44,175 on the road.

K4 47,470 on the road.

Test drove the new K4 for about 20km, felt something similar to my 2020 First Edition eNiro, bit less torque on taking off, but smoother delivery of remaining power. The interior is a big step up from the old eNiro. K3 ordered for January delivery (May be after January based on a few posts I've seen).

Brakes

Has anyone replaced their brakes lately? What was the cost and what kms had you on the car??

Next service is due in a month or so on my E Niro but brakes have started screeching which on previous cars indicated I needed new pads-47,oookms on the clock.

Wow! I paid €45k all in for my K4 in September. So it's gone up by €2.5k? @icom Is this price including that ugly C Pillar? I didn't go for that with mine.

I've similar mileage on mine so service in the new year. I use level 3 regen so would be surprised if brake pads and discs are worn. Do you use regen? I'd expect an ice car would need pads changed by 45km.

At fast chargers the CCS cable is on the charger. You just plug that into your car.

The Type 2 cable you got with the car that you may use with your home charger if not tethered you can use on AC charge points. Commonly known as destination chargers in hotels etc. or the on street esb AC chargers.

Look at the label on the connector of your cable. It should say 32A I believe

Hi. Just terminology but the cable you got with the car is commonly called a "type 2" cable. CCS expands that with the extra pins used but on its own it's a type2. Just in case you're having a google or anything.

Hopefully picking up my Niro EV K3 tomorrow. Changing from my MG ZS so excited about the range/efficiency upgrade. Seems Zombie Mode doesn't have a fix yet?

All depends on the weight of your foot, and the roads you drive. Also, I found Normal more economical than ECO mode

345km at 100% today, mostly motorway driving. Sure it's only a Guess-O-Meter take it handy and could get well over 400km.

Roads are very damp and sticky at the moment, lot of salting. Dry roads and will help a good bit.

I'm getting about 380km @ 80%, and the same, mainly city. I found that my km per kW was better when on Normal mode.
