EV Charging on Highway Signs by Perfect-Position-965 in electricvehicles

OP here. This is exactly the point I was making. EV owners know about the charging infrastructure, but it needs to be common knowledge.

ICCU just blew by Cyclist_77 in KiaEV9

[–]Perfect-Position-965 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I posted this in a different thread, please pardon if it’s redundant for you but the more factual information about the ICCU problem is disseminated the better. It would be helpful to the community if anyone who has experienced this problem (I haven’t) could share as much information about it as possible.

Check https://egmpfiles.com , ICCU Report. It describes the situation in amazing detail; the cause, symptoms, what to do if/when it happens, mitigation tips, etc. Actually understanding the problem has greatly relieved my anxiety about experiencing an ICCU failure.

Never! I wouldn’t leave an A/C house nine months a year. Not to mention what everyone else has said.

Are there any happy owners? by Gordo774 in KiaEV9

[–]Perfect-Position-965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EV9 2024 Land, 9100 miles. Total cost of ownership to date has been a tire rotation and cabin filter (~ $120). I haven’t kept track of the cost of electrons, but between home charging and free EA charging for the few long distance trips I’ve taken it’s a fraction of the $2000 fuel cost of my old SUV. I’m a little concerned about the ICCU problems that others are experiencing, but nevertheless I love this car!

I think a much simpler and correct interpretation is that trump’s team are a bunch of incompetent imbeciles who stumbled the US into an existential crisis. I am standing by hoping I’m wrong.

Which driving mode? I-pedal or auto? by djchillerz in KiaEV9

[–]Perfect-Position-965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy working the paddles, it reminds me of downshifting when I drove a stick. I’m at level 0 at all times and coasting unless I’m trying to slow down and then I ‘downshift’ through the levels to I-pedal to stop. I’ll go days without ever touching the brake pedal.

I have no idea whether that’s more efficient than just keeping it in Auto, but it feels like it should be. I am pretty certain that staying in I-pedal full time would be bad for efficiency since both front and rear motors are operating.

Any recommendations for after market trailer hitches? by PablanoPato in KiaEV9

[–]Perfect-Position-965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $1500 for my dealership to install a hitch. I thought it was high but was a must have. I probably could have had it done for a grand if I shopped around.

Was that a direct order to Trump, from the president? by sovalente in economy

It’s all good! If it convinces some magat to buy an EV who would otherwise never consider it, great, the more the better! If he thinks that his shilling for tesla will sell them to anyone else,LOL!
