    Thanks Brian, The biggest problem I have is the timer on the ev6 for cabin preconditioning. 10 minutes is "close" to UK winter, but I find about 12-15 is sufficient to defrost the windscreen and the cabin. This honestly sounds like Kia could actually push this to all cars, but are monetarily driven not to. Sigh.

  • @gordonbradford4054
    @gordonbradford4054 19 годин тому

    Have KIA fixed the design issues of the EV6? ie the horrible blind spot when looking to the right caused by the bulk and positioning of the offside mirror and the A pillar? The lack of cornering lights which mean you drive into a black hole when you turn left or right on an unlit road at night? And of course the poor HVAC system?

      The NHTSA recall chronology document has very little detail between May & November when the new patch was released. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RMISC-24V867-4581.pdf So it’s difficult to tell if your new one had the patch or not. You could probably check by your VIN to be sure. You will also get recall notification letter i would guess

    There is absolutely zero reason all these option could be made available for the pfl-EV6 except for not wanting to spend developers time to care for the pfl-EV6 owners that made all the other iterations of the next-gen line-up even possible.... I just got the OTA payment option notification on the screen with the message that Q1 2025 they will be rolling out updates (thanks but ill stick to my trusted thumb-drive), so we'll see what 2025 brings us, not expecting much but one can only hope..

      Yes i agree about the features missing from our EV6. They just can’t be arsed to do it it would seem which is really sad. Anything that’s controllable from the touch screen is easily controllable from the app as long as they add the support to the head unit to do it.

    On niro ev when it’s cold and I would start climate conditioning to defrost everything and pre heat the cabin, there will be some battery preconditioning happening. If I look under energy consumption, there would be „battery care“ consumption listed for couple of percent. So apparently the car will do battery pre heating when it’s cold and pre heating is turned on.

    I am swapping my EV6 for the EV3 in a week's time. Can't wait! Never had a fault in almost three years with the EV6 but, as it is mostly driven to the supermarket car park, it is a bit too wide for the spaces and it is a worry wondering if it will get pranged. The technology has advanced in those three years, for instance the 82 kWh battery is lighter than the 74 kWh battery due to being more energy dense. So, I will be able to continue getting valuable info from your channel.

    Annoying, I'm convinced most of these features could be made available to all EV vehicles, it looks like Kia are going down the Apple route of limited features based on the latest car you have. For instance, given a suitable software update, there is no reason why all cars can't have pre-conditioning, change the climate control to 30 minutes - these are all within each car currently and just needs the feature being made available.

      Not yet. There was an Asia Pacific Kia EV day last week and it’s coming to Australia sometime next year along with the EV4. I don’t know the state of tariffs on Chinese built components in Canada (SK On batteries are Chinese made) so that may well have a negative impact on when it arrives. I will do some digging.

      @evodessey День тому

      It was nothing for me because i successfully argued that it could not do the advertised 10-80% in 18 minutes. Kia UK did not pay out on warranty in the end so my dealer had to take the hit which was very good of them. Others have been charged £150-£200 i think,my memory is hazy. Are you in UK? You have to ask for it in a very specific way when you talk to service desk because it’s an enhancement not a service action or a recall. I did quite a few videos on it back in the day. It involves a BMS upgrade & a VCU upgrade. Also the Maps on the head unit need to be the latest version. Once upgraded you see Battery Conditioning instead of Winter Mode. If you are still interested i can point you at my old 2023 videos.

    On my connect i have a switch between the ev6 and ev9 (next to the bell), and the differences between the two is quite stark. The ev service menu is another big improvement with option to change the v2l and ac charging current remotely. Which i find really useful since i often change the charging current and it was a pain having to get in the car to do so every time. I only found that one out last night.😅 Im going to see if you can change it whilst its charging next time, as again that would be super convenient.

      All the differences are due to the change to CCNC as I have the same on my brand new 2024 Hyundai Kona. In addition to the additions you highlighted, we also get a button on the remote to turn on lights/sound horn and another to turn on the hazard warning lights. Other changes are that when using the native sat nav, it now automatically inserts a charging stop (and starts conditioning) if it expects you to arrive at your destination with a low state of charge (<10%??). Also, when using Android Auto, the directions now appear in the HUD.

    Hi Brian from Germany. My wife didn't want to drive the EV6 at first because it's very big, but now she loves driving it and leaves her Mercedes C180 behind most of the time. Wouldn't it be an option for you to sell the Zoe and keep Elvira?

      It's currently depreciating like a lead balloon and we need a new car. I need the money out of it now. No choice. My line in the sand was when the value slipped below £30k I've already let the value go down too far.

    • @van03de

      @evodessey The depreciation might happen with the brand new EV3 as well. Before ordering the EV6 in May 2021, I usually bought one year old cars. We paid less than half of the recommended retail price for our Mercedes.

      @van03de I know, it will for sure but it's the only way we can find a new car at the moment band keep the payments down

    I learned quite a bit from you before I got my EV6. Just curious to why you decided to replace the EV6 in the first place when you could just sell the Zoe. Did you want something newer? Regardless, I hope you enjoy your new ride.

    I find your channel so helpful as an EV6 driver - thanks for all you've done. I, too, love my EV6. I thought about changing to the EV3 but I've decided that it's just not as beautiful as the EV6. I'll tune in to hear how you are getting on with the EV3 but I'm warning you - you will struggle to convince me to change my EV6 😊

    • @evodessey

      Cheers,I know and that's the way it should be. My reasons are pure financial need. If I was not retired I could afford to keep her. I should have sold her when she was above £30k but I have been soft.

      Hi have ordered GTS but on my test drive 2weeks ago in GT Model found the tyre resonance / noise very high on dry roads at 60 to 70 mph. My wife’s corsa E and my hybrid Niro on this same A road which we use regularly are quieter. Any experience of your car in this scenario!

    You have been a great source of information and made my journey with my first EV, EV6 GT Line S Awd, much easier and provided very helpful information for how to be prepared when things don't work as it suppose to do. Saved me at least from being stranded with dead 12v battery. And I have learned a lot tips and tricks to make life easier with the car. Started to follow you before delivery of my car and been watching your videos since then and will keep watching your videos for more knowledge. I will probably go to the facelifted version next year when leasing on this car ends. Keep it up with your new car. Cheers

    • @evodessey

      Many thanks for the superthanks. I’ve gradually warmed to the facelift model. If i could have afforded it i would have gone for one too if circumstances were different.

  • @elektrischverhaal5166
    @elektrischverhaal5166 2 дні тому

    Nearly 100k on the odometer here already. Will turn 3 years old in March. I plan to continue driving my EV6 until at least 10 years old, then I will be at 350k. I suspect that exchange value will be minimal by then too. 😂 good luck with the EV3, In terms of quiet driving experience, comfort and better fine-tuning like the sensors in the steering wheel, definitely not a step backwards!

  • @glynmoore3730

    Why change it if you love it so much, in fact just keep both cars as the Zoe looked great too. I don't buy until a car is already 3 years old (or more) as I don't want that big depreciation hit of ALL (ice included) cars once you drive from the showroom. If you bought them new you know exactly where they've been and what they've done, and you know they are special to you. About 7 months ago I changed my ice car to an Enyaq ev and I love how it looks and love how it drives. Plus to dated I've not had to use a public charger ..... win win.

    • @evodessey
      @evodessey 2 дні тому

      It’s done now,Zoe has sold this afternoon for way more than i thought. EV6 has dropped price another £400 since last week. Last month it was still almost £29,000. The facelift coming out is probably having an impact. I need my money out of Elvira regardless. Much as i love Elvira i need a new car with new challenges,new adventures and also the other dozen reasons i’ve not yet listed why we need to do this now. It was completely my idea after lots of sleepless nights. Zoe is costing more and more to keep it on the road. We are talking £1000s. Elvira will probably need new set of tyres for the next MOT. That’s a lot of money.2nd service is also due in November.That’s also not cheap. Mainly because they have to strip the drivers cluster down to do a simple battery swap for the e-call emergency call unit. Then there is waiting for the ticking timebomb which is the ICCU which i still believe could just randomly pop at any time despite all of the updates. This could leave us stranded while we are away on our many holidays and travels. Yes warranty will cover it but it’s the bloody inconvenice. Just hope i’m not stepping from the frying pan into the fire with the EV3😂

      I’d thought about it.Still might be a future option. Depends how big the hatchback version is. Elvira was worth just under £29k last month,£27,700 last week,£27,300 this week. I need my money out of it.

    Hi Brain after 3 years with my EV6 I drove both the NEW EV6 & EV3 and have also ordered a GT Line S Non Heat pump loved the EV6 but felt the EV3 drive better PS have finally sorted fogging issue CHANGED TYPE of Filter I have KIA Part number maybe useful for Other EV6 fogging owners

    • @evodessey
      @evodessey 2 дні тому

      Yes the EV3 is a great car to drive. Only thing i miss in the EV3 is the looks of the EV6 and the storage bin. The faster charging was great but i only used that a few times a year. 10-80% in 31 minutes on the EV3 is very respectable.

    Sad news, why do you need to change the Zoe ? I could not trade my EV6 (red GT) for an EV3, even if it’s more modern, the 6 has so much more appeal ! For my wife I bought an used Toyota Aygo, very cheap and economical to use and also I must confess I love to drive it. Thanks to that, I could keep my EV6. But I’m disappointed to see how it depreciates. My own GT is losing 40% in just 18 months !

    • @evodessey
      @evodessey 2 дні тому

      Zoe is getting on,she has spent 1000s on it over the last 2 years,it's getting too much.She is afraid of another big bill next MOT.We both don't drive a lot so it makes sense to go down to one car.She will not drive EV6 it's too big.
