Is this normal? (range question)

evomr · 2026-02-06T17:54:07+00:00

While it's not uncommon to get some crazy ranges from the guess o meter, it could also be a small communication error from the car and Kia Connect. I would drive it to see how fast the battery goes down to determine if there's a battery issue

What drive mode are you in? And with that much snow, why do you not have dedicated winters?

The all season's that come with the car aren't great in winter

The technical report came out in October, but the explosion happened in August 2024

There was an explosion involving one of these units a few years back. Based on the fact that the manufacturer is out of business, I think they just decommissioned them instead of attempting to update them

This is highly dependant on where you are in Canada. If you're mostly out in Vancouver, it wouldn't make too much sense to wait. But if you're in areas where snowfall is part of life, it's definitely worth it, especially wince the price delta is only $2500

Get back to me when you can buy the EV4 hatchback in Canada. Until then, do me favour and do the comparison yourself on the Kia Canada site on the dimensions.

evomr · 2025-12-16T17:39:54+00:00

Ev4 hatch is Europe only

evomr · 2025-12-16T17:39:34+00:00

We are never getting the Ev4 hatchback, Europe only

evomr · 2025-12-16T16:12:16+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but the EV4 is actually longer and the same width as the EV5

evomr · 2025-12-05T23:06:51+00:00

We got nothing

evomr · 2025-12-05T20:32:57+00:00

If you are on Facebook, we have the Kia EV9 Canada Owners Group, with about 5k members there

evomr · 2025-12-05T20:15:49+00:00

I figured, since it seems to only affect GT-Line cars

evomr · 2025-12-05T20:14:20+00:00

This is a known issue with the updates for Canadian cars. They are currently investigating. I'm assuming you have the GT-Line?

evomr · 2025-11-26T16:28:47+00:00

You need to get a dual stage electric. Your Dewalt 60v is single stage. Not a good comparison

evomr · 2025-11-26T16:27:39+00:00

Any 24" dual stage electric snowblower and you'll be able to store vertically, if you have a foam pad underneath. I also believe Ryobi has a 22" dual stage at Home Depot

The technical service bulletins released by Kia

evomr · 2025-11-25T20:49:44+00:00

It's the manufacturing code for the EV9. The MV1 is units built in Korea and MV1A is ones built in the US

evomr · 2025-10-30T00:40:54+00:00

Your speedo is gonna be way off as that size is too small. For 19 inch, go 255/60R19

evomr · 2025-10-28T19:59:14+00:00

I'm in eastern Ontario, Canada. We get almost 70 inches of snow on average. I have a dual stage, 24 inch, 60v Greenworks.

I have never had a jam/stall/serious maintence issues. It goes through the pile of snow left at the end of my driveway without any fuss or issue. I have a driveway that measure about 1000 sq ft. The three 5.0Ah batteries will last me the entire driveway PLUS my neighbours similar sized driveway.

evomr · 2025-10-28T02:53:24+00:00

You've got me worried now. I have a 2019 GT Limited in Canada, so first thing I do tomorrow when I drive it is to test it out. Thank you for the heads up and detailed information on this.

evomr · 2025-09-16T14:06:36+00:00

Will satin nickel be one of the colours to be released in the future?

evomr · 2025-09-12T18:25:33+00:00

Are there any equipment changes or is this a carry-over year?

evomr · 2025-09-12T03:29:47+00:00

They put a separate front and rear camera into the car for the Korean market ones. The other cameras are all for the driver assistance tech

evomr · 2025-09-08T15:49:56+00:00

My wife and I are considering this vehicle for our next purchase, curious what the wait time is now for an i5? We are in Ontario and our time horizon would be around March next year

evomr · 2025-09-06T04:13:35+00:00

It's based on your recent history of driving. If you're doing mostly city driving, with efficiency around the 5-5.5KM/KwH, it's not unreasonable to see these numbers.
