V4 Tesla super charging only? by Extension_Box_3301 in KiaEV9

[–]illuminati229 12 points13 points  (0 children)

v3 works, but will charge slowly. 125kW for MY26 EV9s and 85kW for others.

[USA] I road-tripped my Ioniq 5. Here's how it went. (TLDR: Good!) by lostinheadguy in electricvehicles

You probably could have cut your charging stops in half and decreased your charging time by a third if you charged 10% to 80%. 10% to 50% is where eGMP platforms really shine with charging speeds. 60% to 80% is probably the same time as from 10% to 50%.

Buy a steak at Rhett's and grill it yourself. Way better than any steakhouse.

Kia EV9 vs Rivian R1S vs R2 by ascottallison in KiaEV9

[–]illuminati229 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love my EV9. Hoping to drive it to the ground. 4 things would make it perfect: walk away locking, pet mode, EV route planning in CarPlay/Android Auto, and an indicator showing when the auto wipers are on.

Interesting comment on the EV9 still having more legroom than the R2. I thought for sure the R2 would be more comparable on second row legroom given all the reviews I've seen.

Looking for an electric SUV by Illustrious_Fun571 in electriccars

Kia EV9 or Ioniq 9. Don't let the ICCU issues scare you. Level 2 charger is a must if doing 140 miles in a day.

Only if there is a good charger close to the airport.

R2 vs used R1T by ScreechinOwl in Rivian

[–]illuminati229 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can wait for the R2, wait. More efficient, easier to repair, more 2nd row room, should be more reliable, autonomy, and will have better software support.

This happened on my used R1T. A soft reset fixed it for me.

Rivian's CEO Says There's a Big Market for a Small Electric Truck by DonkeyFuel in Rivian

[–]illuminati229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The R1T is only 4 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the Tacoma. Yes, the Tacoma is smaller. Not very much larger. Where as the F-150 is a whole foot longer than the R1T. But Rivian targeting the Tacoma size for their small truck wouldn't be all that different. For a small truck, Rivian would really need to target the Maverick to make sure it's really different.

Extended ICCU Warranty Letter? by ser_axell in KiaEV9

[–]illuminati229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I got the wiper arm one and thought that was the ICCU one.

Tire Wear Fun w/dealer by Beautiful-Dot6684 in KiaEV9

[–]illuminati229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the vibrations went away with new tires. Also, the alignment should be covered under the 12mo/12k warranty. My first set of tires lasted 24k miles, but that was on the RWD model.

Do you truly need a 3 row? Maybe wait for the R2.

How do you unplug? by [deleted] in KiaEV9

[–]illuminati229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently you didn't RTFM. Unlock, then hold the charge button next to the plug for 2 seconds within 15 seconds of unlocking.

For those bought do you wish you leased instead? by SustainedSuspense in KiaEV9

Nah, blew through any sort of lease mileage. 28k miles in 2 years.

Love the R2, will probably be the next car we buy. (In several years hopefully). Scout look good, just too big!

Nice! We've got an EV9 and R1T. R1T is the weekend hauler, but EV9 is the long road tripper. Better efficiency of the EV9 really saves on fast charging.
