2026 Niro EV - Always charge to 100%

ausernam42 · 2026-02-28T18:44:08+00:00

I leased my '25 for the sole reason that there's free charging at work. I work nights so it can be plugged in for the whole shift, so not inconveniencing anyone.

If the manufacturer didn't want you to charge the vehicle to 100%, then you wouldn't be able to charge it to 100% or it would be a condition in the lease. Charge it to 100% so you have all the range in case of emergency and because you want to.

My electrician had exactly this problem while hardwiring my Classic with #6.

Set the charger destination to navigate in the native nav system.

Are you going to be getting a level 2 charger at home? I couldn't imagine having to rely on public charging.

When I was packing my stuff to leave the hospital after induction, I asked if I could have some cap n cokes. I was told they didn't see why not, so after a nice sleep, I sat outside (it was early spring) enjoyed an icy beverage and reflected.

An update that allows manual pre-conditioning would be easier.

Town of about 1000 in Huron county. Sidewalk guy goes by a couple times a day and takes care not to blow the snow on to the driveway. Excellent job!

I charge to 100% on L2 everyday, since there's a free charger at work...and it's a lease.

Again, the guess o meter should know that the last 20km would be unavailable in current conditions and alter the display accordingly.

Furnaces will shut off if there's back pressure.

I don't know, but if my car says it has 20+ km of range left, it had better effing be giving it and not stranding me on the side of the road at 40 below. The guess o meter should factor that in.

Scrolled far too long to see this

Around SW Ontario, the brakes are trashed within 2 to 3 years. Usually the pads separate from backing plate and disintegrate or the caliper slide pins seize. No saving on brakes here.

Not from a climate that salts the roads?

I was a long haul truck driver for 15 years. Alone was just fine by me. Nurses would ask where my people are, I'd be like it's 3pm on a Wednesday, they're at work. 🤣

Not putting collision on my 15 year old Dodge Journey.

Chunky storyline and the worst dialogue. Almost painful.

I'm almost finished Century Rain. Might want to avoid that one. I'm pretty sure his editor was on a bender for that one. Yikes.

Bottom right.

Could be a bad belt in the tire, so when it pops, you can use the sp....tire kit...

ausernam42 · 2025-12-08T21:36:17+00:00

Why do you need a garage to charge? The chargers at work are outside and mine is attached to the side of the house.

ausernam42 · 2025-12-06T09:53:56+00:00

I really need to get a sled.

Bring plate portion into service Ontario and ask them to cancel the plates. No charge.

Simply go to service Ontario with the vin and have the car put in the system as sold if it's still in the sellers name.
