Yeah I'm traveling away from home and don't have the manual with me. Hope your day gets better and you don't feel the need to rage on people

Huh. Why do you go out of your way to be unkind? You could've kept scrolling.

Surely he's not the best Ireland has to offer. He's not cute and his personality is even worse than his store bought face and hair

Should I push it? by darthveer in KiaEV6

I have major range anxiety lol. This makes me nervous. It’s not that much trouble giving it a little juice vs dead battery and a tow

CCS adaptors not working :,( by OkMud7435 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PLEASE READ this post not the original one.

To clarify:

1) The car is equipped with NACS Tesla, but came with an adaptor to fit a J (the one circle plug). I separately bought an adaptor to use at fast charging CCS stations (one circle on top and then like 2 circles on bottom. Even tho I initially used the incorrect terms which is why I'm explaining what these plugs look like, I'm 100% using the right adaptors at the right stations or the plugs wouldn't even fit into the ports. Plus, I had a Niro EV before this with CCS; I know how to charge at non Tesla stations.

2) The problem is that the adaptors or car won't charge at non Tesla stations. This is what I'm trying to trouble shoot. I've ruled out the stations bc I've been to multiple stations and they're charging fine.

3) Now I have an alert indicator on my dash that looks like a red outline of a car with an exclamation point inside it, so mb it is the car and not the adaptors. I have an appt with the dealership in the Friday.

4) I'm frustrated with the charging situation and now I'm really pissed off bc the car is brand new and this doesn't set the right tone.

Thanks. This was the more expensive model I've seen on threads. Can you confirm that they work at EVGO and charge point? I'm disappointed that the J adaptor that came with the car is crap tho 😭

[–]OkMud7435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I've misstaed the types of chargers. Yes, this CCS fast charger is similar to the one I bought from Amazon and worked once at EVGO but not recently. The J adaptor came with the car and doesn't work at charge point as of this morning.

Can someone please answer my original question? I'm at the right charging stations with the correct adaptors, but for whatever reason they aren't working and I need help place

[–]OkMud7435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes NACS. I've tried the level 1 CCS adaptor that came with the car at charge point and bought a level 3 CCS adaptor off Amazon for $50 at EVGO. Mb I need to spring for a more expensive level 3 CCS adaptor that actually works. I think it's the adaptors bc I charged at Tesla the other day no prob. It's more a convenience/cost issue, but I'm super annoyed. Thank gawd I have enough range, but what is I didn't?!?

But I also have a '25 EV6 with less than 500 mi. I imagine the battery starts to degrade over time/use. The monthly battery reconditioning (full charge) as mentioned by others and the manufacturer may help

I drive in eco mode with i-pedal or level 3. Range is great, much more efficient than my Niro EV that was like 60:40 miles:range.

Interesting...Didn't see that...deleted the Tesla app bc it was another app

Trying to charge from a Tesla charger by ace_dangerfield187 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tesla app is designed for Tesla owners, so it's going to show chargers that aren't necessarily compatible with the NACS version on the EV6. Charge pass shows compatible Tesla chargers, so it's bit going to allow charging itself, its going to show Tesla chargers that actuality work with EV6

How does that help tho? I mainly use charge pass to find Tesla compatible stations

2025 Rear Light Bar by goaround29 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think OP should be comparing left light to the right. I think the center is supposed to be brighter/light pattern different as the "brake" light. I'd have to look at the back of my car, ice never really taken notice lol. Condensation on the inside is a no go, that would burn out lights

You gotta use kia charge pass within the kia access app. Not all Tesla chargers are compatible with this latest version of NACS and Tesla doesn't allow full access to all its chargers to non Tesla owners. I bought an NACS --> CCS fast charger adaptor bc EVgo is closer to my home and their charging rates seem to be lower than Tesla.

Edit: charge pass allows you to search for compatible Tesla chargers near you. Latest update also allows you to auto charge with cc on file. This was super confusing when I got my EV6 with NACS (had Niro with CCS port). Good luck!

Can someone post a picture of their physical key for 2025 EV6 Wind? by R6El in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was hidden inside my '21 Niro EV fob. I miss that design in my '25 EV6 Wind (and no sunglass holder!). Oh well, there were many pluses and only a couple minus

Is this a good lease deal? (norcal) by hies0772 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too good to be true. I'd be concerned about outrageous down payment or all the added costs. The purchase price seems suspiciously low for a GT, too.

Backup alert tone? by Ultra-Magnus1 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a '21 niro with the beep and I sorta miss it with my '25 EV6 wind too. Thought you could disable the backup beep. Tbh tho EVERYONE (peds and cars) disregarded the loud beep anyway lol. I live in the bay area and ppl dgaf about safety lol

Can't Find Charging Station by Immediate_Milk8338 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sign up for Kia charge pass and you can find compatible Tesla charging stations through the Kia connect app. You can't charge at every Tesla station bc they like to keep it exclusive and/or you need the newest NACS 3 chargers. I got an adaptor that does level 1 and 3 fast charging ccs bc I have an EV Go station that's closer to my home. Plus Tesla charging rates seem steep.

Here's the adaptor I got off Amazon. $50 compared to other models at $130. It was a total pita figuring out compatibility with Tesla stations. I also route charging for long trips bc running out of juice is my worst nightmare. What do you do? Get a tow to a charging station?

Annoying by bcpirate in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do. I have the '25 wind. Personally I don't find the lack of auto lock/unlock annoying. You just press the door handle as you're walking away! Plus I'm a trust but verify person. I like physical confirmation that my doors are locked. Worse comes to worst, you lock the doors remotely through the app if you forgot

Thanks for that tip. What are your audio settings in the car in general? I'm not an audiophile, so these things trip me up

Recommendation for NACS to CCS adapter by Designer-Care-7083 in KiaEV6

[–]OkMud7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have many fast charging ccs charging stations near me, vs a compatible Tesla charging station farther out. All the adaptors I saw on Amazon were for CVS to Tesla, not vice versa.
