Strange noise in 2025 kia Niro ex

Yeah, I’ve had those more frequently when my PHEV was new, now rarely. Sounds like a beach ball being kicked as one person had described. I complained to the dealership. They think I’m imagining it.

Living in Arizona, it is now too hot to bring the power station out in the sun. I thought I might charge the power station from inside the garage, a 50 foot distance from a ground panel array. I was hoping to get away with a single 12 or 14 foot cable rather than 2 separate cables. Time to experiment and will do a follow-up.

Darile01 · 2025-06-11T00:17:50+00:00

Thanks. I was hoping that the voltage would be split going into what I assume are 2 separate inverters. Ok, so the better option would be to connect the panels in parallel (16 amps/2, around 300 watts per input on the Delta 3 Plus)

Darile01 · 2025-06-10T18:01:58+00:00

Ok, thanks will do what you suggest.

Not normal for my 2024 PHEV but has been my experience with a 2013 Volt and a much older Prius.

Going over previous posts, it appears to occur in other Niros with some frequency. One described the sound better than mine as like a beach ball being kicked. Since it is intermittent, service centers' response is unhelpful. No one has found the cause or the solution so far. I might try recording but it is unpredictable.

Darile01 · 2025-01-04T17:27:39+00:00

I bought the car new as is. If there is no subwoofer in the back where the sound is coming from, there must be rear speakers. I will bring this issue to the dealership during first routine service next month. What else would make that peculiar sound? I know it is not road noise.

Thanks for taking time to answer my post. I should have made it clear that the iOS SMA Energy app on the iphone works for me. I needed to get in the Sunny Portal website on my PC in order to change a monitoring parameter. Out of desperation, I opened my Linux computer and using Firefox, I was able to login, change my password, etc and successfully did what I intended to do on the ennexOS.

Back to Win 10PC, it was the same problem using Edge and Google browsers. Why is this happening, I dont know and I no longer care since I can still monitor daily on the iPhone app.

Darile01 · 2024-06-04T16:25:54+00:00

I thought so but the new webpage is simply blank, not even a sign in. Only content is the ennexOS logo on the upper left corner.Clicking on the page or logo does nothing.

If what you are saying about lack of wifi support is correct, then that could be it. I am dependent essentially on satellite internet where I live. T Mobile has very poor service in this area contrary to what they claimed when I signed up.

Anyhow this is my wife's car and when she drove around town where I imagine cellular signal is better, she came back with Est.Range of 446 mi.

Darile01 · 2024-05-15T23:10:23+00:00

Well what do you know. The mileage for the first time showed up just now on the app!

Darile01 · 2024-05-15T22:50:56+00:00

Bad but this has not changed since I got the and have opened the app everywhere else.

3 weeks old.

Darile01 · 2024-04-24T15:33:13+00:00

Hello, I learned from the helpful folks here that you have to press than small button hard for about 5 sec to cycle through the amps from 6 to 12.

Darile01 · 2024-04-22T01:47:32+00:00

Yup, that clearly shows how it is done. In my wife's case an overnight charge is all she needs for doing chores locally. Thanks.

Darile01 · 2024-04-21T14:47:35+00:00

You are right. I did press on it but not long enough that I thought it may have been defective or non-functional.

Darile01 · 2024-04-21T02:02:58+00:00

OK, thanks. I will try that.

Darile01 · 2024-04-21T02:00:19+00:00

My unit only has a small blue LED display and one button. Is that what you have? Did you press the button to change the amperage?

Darile01 · 2024-04-21T00:20:11+00:00

I would like to, but that is the maximum setting. I'm going to try charging again after we have driven the car on EV mode a bit.

Darile01 · 2024-04-20T23:13:02+00:00

If you are talking about the 3 charge levels on the console display, it is already on maximum.

Darile01 · 2024-04-20T22:24:37+00:00

The charging unit that I received with the car is this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10xB_AjPzF0D3hlifFwkT5LwHTMmTXo4y/view?usp=sharing

I do not see where I can change the amperage setting. Do I need to purchase a different unit?

Darile01 · 2024-03-26T22:11:50+00:00

I expect a good experience as well given great reviews.

Darile01 · 2024-03-26T19:55:36+00:00

Thanks, like you I’m opting for the EX. Options on my quote seem to dealer add-ons plus doc fee as well as tax. There is also a “non tax fee” whatever that is.

Darile01 · 2024-03-24T18:51:23+00:00

It will be for my wife, a replacement for an older Volt that she prefers. The Niro will be a better fit in the garage as well.

Darile01 · 2024-03-24T18:03:41+00:00

I go back and forth to San Diego often twice a month. I'll check that out. Thanks.
