vs
Battery OEM KIA or OEM Volvo
Even though the battery tested fine the problem went when I replaced the battery.
Pros: problem went away
Vehicle:
Kia Ceed
Also, most car manufacturers know that customers are generally bad at doing the "correct" thing, so they protect their batteries by design.
When you are charging to 100% you are actually closer to 95-97%, when you run your car to 0% it's actually 5-7%
All because it's easier to show you another number and build the protection into the system, than to change people's habits.
Pros: batteries protected by design
Vehicle:
Kia
My Kia EV6 does 10-80 in 18 minutes which is getting close, IMO. It\u2019s certainly enough for me
Pros: getting close, enough
Vehicle:
Kia
My 2019 e Niro has done 67k miles and range has not dropped significantly. Over 300 miles suburban in summer and around 230 motorway miles with heating in the winter.
Pros: good range, roomy
Cons: not exciting, looks like potato
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 107826 km
We have a Kia Niro PHEV and love it. I get around 3000km per tank because for the most part I'm just not using gas.
Pros: not using gas
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 3000 km
Of course you do. 16-19 kWh/100km to 20-23 kWh/100km. Kia EV6.
Pros: increased energy consumption
Vehicle:
Kia
my dishwasher has around 200 mile motorway range on a 64kWh net battery, which'll get me from Oxford to Darlington on a single charge, I could get to Newcastle if I camp behind a truck for most of it. My car is also stupidly inefficient for an EV, better EVs like a ID.3 or Megane could go further with smaller batteries.
Pros: 200 mile motorway range
Cons: stupidly inefficient
Vehicle:
Volvo
I bought a ‘24 GT with 5k miles and regret it every day. The battery had to be replaced at 9k miles and we had a loaner for a 5 weeks. Everyday issues like Carplay not working 50% of the time and the backup sensors being way too sensitive drive me insane.
Cons: battery replaced, carplay issues
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 5000 km
The battery is almost certainly dead.
Something else wrong with your car likely killed the battery and if that's the case buying a new battery will just result in the same problem pretty soon.
Cons: battery is dead
That battery is absolutely cooked, sounds like the cells have sulfated to hell or there's internal damage from deep cycling
The fact that it's only taking 72-94Wh when it should be 600Wh is screaming dead cells, and that voltage drop from 12.8 to 4v in 2 hours is not normal even with parasitic draw
Pros: screaming dead cells
Cons: battery is cooked
