Looking to spruce up my 2022 EX with some new accessories. I'm specifically on the hunt for a cargo mat and seat back protectors that look good together. Any recommendations for matching sets or brands that you've had good experiences with?

Maybe try restarting the app and your phone, but if it continues, Kia support might need to check it out.

Hey everyone, First EV jitters here! We’re picking up a 2024 Kia Niro Wind+, and of course, the dealership’s 273 miles away! I think I’m prepared, but any “first EV” surprises I should brace for? Chargers, adapters, random stuff I didn’t think of? Level 2’s going in the next day, so at least...

I looked at a 2021 Kia e-Niro with 30,000 km, and the battery's already at 85%. Seller thinks I’ll get a new one if it drops below 70% in 3 years. Anyone have experience with battery degradation curves on these?

Try reducing the charging speed in the car's settings. Instead of 100%, try a lower or minimum setting (60%). This will slow down charging but may prevent failures until the weather cools down or Kia issues a software update.

Same here! I know snow chains can be tricky, especially with those fancy rims. First, I’d check the owner’s manual, some EVs have limits on what kind of chains we can use. Using them correctly won’t void the warranty, but improper installation could damage the tires or suspension. I’ll make sure...

Hey, any updates on how the reset went? Would love to hear how it turned out!

Does the Niro EV come with any free Electrify America charging like the EV6? I've seen some mixed info online. Can anyone confirm if it's included or not?

My Kia Niro's heat pump is making a crazy loud noise when I turn on the climate control! The dealer says I need to replace the whole thing. Has anyone else run into this? Any chance there’s a fix short of shelling out for a brand-new heat pump?

Just run it into utility mode. You can plug in your device to the 120v before or after activating it. Keep the car unlocked to maintain power. By the way, which trim do you have?

Hmmm that noise could be from debris or a malfunctioning fan. Before replacing the heat pump, try having it inspected for loose parts or a clogged filter.

I doubt the Kia Niro’s wiper speeds can be adjusted beyond factory settings.

Last night, I was about to go for a burger run when my Niro unexpectedly shut down for a few seconds. I restarted it, and it came back but I chose to return home out of caution. Right now, the issue is still bothering me. What could be the reason behind this?

The V2L connector was included with my '24 Niro EV Wave, so I tested it before the winter storms arrived. After some filing and silicone lubrication, the extension cable plug's shell was almost impossible to open without large pliers, but now it's simple to use. The 120V, 15A power output of the...
