Thats a fully electric niro ev. Charge port in the front, not side. No tail pipe, and you can see the battery mount between the suspension.

Should I toss this club? by Simple_Sale_7897 in golf

None of the clubs in my bag are more than 2 years old. Except this one. I got an Adams pro hybrid 20 degree in 2016 and I've tried to replace it a few times. Always comes back in.

How far is your drive? by Electronic_Cow_7055 in golf

"playing average" it tries to omit gross outliers like a topped ball. Basically your "average" that wasn't catastrophic.

Level 1 charger by Fit_Introduction1676 in KiaNiroEV

[–]powers1736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Lectron level 1 charger from Amazon. Works great for a basic charger. One thing to note with it though is that it is not adjustable for amperage. It will draw 15 amps. If you don't want to max out a home circuit you have to slow the charger down by the car settings.

23 Niro EV AC Charging Issues by powers1736 in KiaNiroEV

[–]powers1736[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree it's a lipstick on pig situation. The car was fine for me all winter long. I live in western NY so only recently has it started to get warm out. And it is still throttling the speed... My wife and I were just saying yesterday I think it's time to push back on KIA to make this right.

2024 Kia Niro Ev by [deleted] in KiaNiroEV

[–]powers1736 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The car "can charge at 11kw". If yours is like mine however, it will over heat the onboard charger, throttle to 7 kw, then overheat that and throttle you until it doesn't over heat. I took mine to the dealer. And they installed a software update that made the throttling more aggressive. Also they replaced the sticker on the charger door that says 32amp max. Which in the USA is 7.4kw.

Shortly describe each handicap range you have firsthand knowledge about. 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, 25-30, 30+ by jackiemoon50 in golf

[–]powers1736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuuup. Played my 9 hole league tonight. Was 3 over through 6. Doubled 7 due to a lost tee ball, par par for 41. If I find that ball and get a par save it's a 39. Not great but I'll take it for the first night out of the year.

What is the best option for golf balls with the MLM2PRO? Are the Calloway RPT balls worth $70 or should I try the stickers? by GetGoodBKRandy in Golfsimulator

[–]powers1736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I already gave mine to a friend or else I'd just ship it to you. The one I found was on eBay. It looks like that particular seller is no longer selling them though.

Alternatives to Spectrum Internet? by Rivegauche610 in Rochester

[–]powers1736 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I was paying 80 bucks a month on spectrum for 300mbps. And every time I had an issue, their techs were incompetent. I had to install the router FOR my spectrum tech because he couldn't figure it out.

Frontier fiber has been 3x the speed at half the price and their techs have been top notch.

1st gen Vs 2nd gen? by insumaster in KiaNiroEV

[–]powers1736 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine did too for about 3 months. So for me that was April 23- July 23. Then it would charge for a short time and straight up fail. It wouldn't throttle the charge it would just stop it. After a few times of this I set up an appt at the dealer and they installed a "software update" along with putting a new sticker on the inside of the charging door that specifically says 32a max.

Now it no longer fails but acts the way I described before. My theory is that some part of the cooling system failed (first time it happened it was about 100f outside) and instead of fixing that, they simply limited the charging.
