Ugh, my car's outlet is being a total jerk! It’s being all finicky - won’t work at all when I’m charging the car, but as soon as I unplug it, it’s like it’s perfectly fine (even without the utility mode). Seriously, what’s the deal? Anyone else having this frustrating problem?

Mine's 1 year already at 20k miles. Haven't encountered any issues with my AC so far. Did you try resetting your car?

So I can only unlock my driver's door with the handle, but I can't figure out how to unlock all the doors at once. Is there a secret setting or something?

That was a common issue, but it eventually resolved itself.

Normal. When users discover bugs, updates are sometimes removed. Just continue checking on the app; it should be available again soon.

New owner here with a snowy question. My good friend gave me some new winter gear for my 2022 Niro EV for me to use in the future, but worried about the warranty and snow chains. Anyone have experience using them? Saw some folks online stressing about damaging rims/tires and voiding warranties.

Have you tried reading the manual? I think it's there.

Confused about the Niro EV's torque specs? Same here! Kia claims it's only 188 lb-ft, but that seems way off for an electric motor. Especially considering the Kona EV, which shares the same powertrain, is rated at 289 lb-ft. Did previous Niro EV models have different torque numbers?

Loving the car so far, especially the V2L feature. Had a weird issue yesterday with the internal power socket though. Plugged in my laptop, got a red light and no power, with a message saying "V2L finished defined charge level reached." No clue what that meant! Searched everywhere for V2L...

Glad that you guys are all safe and sound. That's more important than the car. I think that would be declared as a total wreck. My advice is to go talk to your insurance about it.

My cousin in Canada, who also owns a Niro, got a fantastic deal on the 10-year, 200,000 km Kia Protect 5-Star protection, reducing the price from $4,200 CAD to $2,200 CAD, which seemed too expensive for me at the original price. While there is a chance of needing repairs within 200,000 km, the...

Yeah it still works, but it uses both the battery pack and the wall outlet. If left plugged into a Level 1 EVSE, it will continue to charge the battery pack. When you use remote climate control, the car will start, check for an EVSE connection, and use it for power if one is available. If the...

Our eNiro's slow (13amp) charger plug is busted. Dealer says the whole unit needs replacing - seems excessive for a simple plug! Anyone know where to find a replacement mains plug with thermistor and flylead? Should be a quick fix, anyone saved money doing it themselves?

To turn off the AC or heater, simply press the corresponding button again.

Because it's a FWD vehicle, slipping on only the rear wheels should not be a problem.
