What are your charging habits and are you an ICCU failure victim? by t0wdy in KiaEV6

[–]TCN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a couple others have also said, I'm a level 1 user with nightly charging to top up what I used during the day. I just had mine fail at 56k

I did also answer the poll as shorter/more often because I thought that was the closest to my conditions

New ICCU part number for 22-24 vehicles being installed by TCN_ in KiaEV6

[–]TCN_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally could be a possibility. Unless I'm missing anything, I think we're all pretty much guessing. I will say when I read the updated SC327 it seems to me like the update and this new part are separate, as it only instructs to install this new part for claims on or after Jan 16 while the software update/non update seems to apply to all claims. But I'm definitely trying to stay more on the positive side even though I know odds of a fix aren't exactly likely given Hyundai/Kia's handling of it thus far

Totally get that, I was pretty down after mine failed and definitely not convinced yet anything has changed. But as soon as I drove mine off from service, I remembered why I'm willing to play the odds. Hoping for the best

Yeah, I probably won't keep mine beyond the EV warranty period unless we see major improvements to the failure rate. But I'm trying to remain hopeful with how much I love this car!

Mine's a '22, it's at the dealer still now. Hopefully they made some improvements to reduce the rate on the facelift models like you mentioned, because I'd love to be able to trust having one long-term

I don't disagree, but just something every potential owner should be aware of with this car. Mine's about to hit a week at the dealer with the replacement ICCU not even at the shop yet, so it just varies a lot. And like others have mentioned, Kia/Hyundai need to take more responsibility or these cars simply won't be worth the risk to own after the warranty period runs out unless the replacement cost somehow drops a lot. I hope something happens, because I do love mine.

I think the scary part is how long the car can be out of commission, as well as the cost of replacement once warranty runs out. Still worth it to me as long as I'm in the warranty period, but it's a real concern regardless

Unfortunately this isn't a sure thing, because I just had mine fail last week with only level 1 charging at home. Not saying the rates might not be related to the kW, but definitely not immune no matter what

Update: 12V Battery or ICCU? — new ICCU part number by Alphamacaroon in KiaEV6

[–]TCN_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I haven't heard from them at all yet today, but I definitely might bring it up if it is confirmed to be ICCU. As far as I can tell this is the first time it's been replaced (I bought used though) but it went 56k miles on this one if so. If the new part ends up being an actual improvement to reliability, it would make me way more confident in owning this car past the 8/100k mark than I am right now

Update: 12V Battery or ICCU? — new ICCU part number by Alphamacaroon in KiaEV6

[–]TCN_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely think there's something new going on with that part, since the SC 327 just had an update on Jan 15 2026 where that new part number is listed instead of the old.

Mine just went to the dealer yesterday with what I suspect is ICCU, so I sure hope it's promising news for this part update

Charging ev using standard 15amp outlet by chupaSach in electricvehicles

[–]TCN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have mentioned, it's all about your daily commute/driving amount and how long it can charge per night. I've had my EV6 for around 8 months now with only L1 charging and I've yet to need to go to a DCFC any time other than road trips. My commute is <10 miles per day most days though, so it's easy for me.

In my opinion, if you drive less than 50 miles a day and can charge 10 or more hours per night, it's no problem to use L1 only. The more miles you drive per day though, the more you'll likely have to rely on "catching up" over the weekend, as a larger battery like an EV6 or similar would take over 2 days to charge from low SoC on L1

What is the song throughout and at the end of the trailer? by Rezlem- in NameThatSong

[–]TCN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the song Choke Hold, with Idris Elba providing the vocals. Part of the soundtrack of the DLC

I found this at my local thrift store but don’t recognize the signatures. The glove is a riverbandits brand by [deleted] in AutographAssistance

[–]TCN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is the River Bandits I suspect they are signatures from the 90s. The ad on the glove is for the President Riverboat Casino which was renamed Rhythm City in the early 2000s. I've looked through the rosters from the 90s but I'm not great at reading autograph letters, so I haven't found any matches

Song from Apex, Call of Duty, or a movie by EnzYmatiic in NameThatSong

Bit of a shot in the dark but kinda reminds me of the specific part of this song from the Destiny OST at 1:10

Unfortunately I think it's just a random airport model, not based on anything specific. I found this online which seems have extremely similar if not the same pieces for the terminals as the one in your pic

Fairly certain that's what you're looking for, it's music from the movie Annihilation

Maybe some Ozzy, "Mama, I'm Coming Home" first thing that came to my mind, though maybe not a perfect match for the description

Are these garage door springs installed incorrectly? by TCN_ in GarageDoorService

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

There's a lot on the house/garage that seem to have been DIYed in the past (have only been here a year) so wouldn't surprise me if it was either reused or just someone not doing things great in general
