Can't thank you enough for all of your terrific support for the EV6. I learned a lot, even though we're across the pond. 😉 Keep up the great work and enjoy the EV3! Best wishes and be well Brian.
Great work Brian. You'll be missed here and on the EV6 Forum. Well done mate. Enjoy the new EV3 and be well! 🙏
What 2% deal ?
On Kia Finance HP over 3 years,not sure what the PCP rate is. If you configure an EV3 on UK website you will see it in the Finance section after you enter your deposit
Ref the KIa EV how to video my 2 week old EV 3 has no "Enterteinment " option on the main menu can anyone help ?
I’m not sure if it’s launched in Europe and UK yet.
Thanks Brian, on Nero EV ios App you can set both AC and DC charging limits.
Yes, same on EV6
If you buy a EV more than 40K now, will you need to pay the luxury tax later? My understanding is that we will need to pay the tax for 5 years - which is why I will probably choose the air trim model instead of the GT Line S....
That new rule does not start until April 1st as far as i’m aware.It will be treated like existing EV6’s so will pay the reduced rate. Discussed many times in many forums but i will have a further dig for clarity.
Pretty easy to clarify - Drivers will need to pay the lowest first year rate of vehicle tax which is £10 from April 1 2025. From the second tax payment onwards, drivers will pay the standard rate of £195. Those with electric, zero or low emission cars registered between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2025 will also pay the standard rate of £195
🫶🏽
I'm in exactly the same position as you Brian. My wife won't drive my EV6 and runs a cheap, old Honda Civic which seems to go on and on. While I was in the Kia garage last month having my ICCU changed (!) I too was offered £27k in part exchange for an EV3. So, in two and a half years I would lose £17,500. However, unlike you, I've decided to keep the EV6 and run it until it dies which maybe 10 years? That would be an annual depreciation of £4,500 rather than the £7000 if I chopped it in now. I like the car very much so it's no hardship to keep and a cheap petrol runabout does the local runs of 2000 miles a year. Maybe the drop of second hand prices will slow down as time goes on.
I think the price drop will slow down after all of the 3 year old ones like mine have been sold off. Glad you are able to keep yours. Quite a few on here trading down to EV3 GT Line S. Not that the interior is really a trade down. It even keeps the EV6 pano roof.
The ICCU issues would put me off another Kia altogether.
The e-Niro & Niro EV just never had this problem as far as i could ever find out. Could well be related partly to 800v and fast charging. Plenty of evidence all over forums about that.
It's a pity, when otherwise the car is so good.
@gwynnej3 Apart from it's many bonnet paint chips and rattles😆 but yes.
Bit the bullet. EV3 test drive this morning, then paid the deposit for a Sunset Orange GT-Line S with the heat pump.
Have you any more info on the 2% finance deal as can’t find it ?
It's on the configurator,finance tab, select Kia Personal Motor Loan,put deposit in then calculate, although it says April 3.9 APR in left column but on right hand side it says Fixed Rate of Interest 2.01,that deal ends 16/12/24,maybe I'm interpreting it wrong 😆
You've done sterling work Brian on the EV6 and I'm really grateful for all the support and advice made available to me as an owner. Mine will be three years old in April 2025 and my plan is to hold onto it until the warranty ends. So far I haven't experienced the problems you unfortunately have - but I'll watch your EV3 experience with interest in case I decide to follow your example 😊 Best wishes and keep up the good work
Thank you Peter
Hi Brian, i am not far off similar position to you over my EV6 GT Line , but we are after the EV5 ... Have you heard any further updates on this for the UK arrival ?? My EV6 is 3yrs old in March so looking to change not long thereafter....
Just this morning on Facebook I’ve seen Kia UK advertising it with a sign up link for more information for the very first time. This means the Marketing campaign has begun. Hopefully we will see a launch in the 1st half of next year. www.kia.com/uk/new-cars/ev5/
I can confirm same KIA Connect features are available on EV9. Based on your experience, it might be some features are available only to the ccNC units. By that said, I would expect these to arrive to the face-lift EV6 (as it is fitted with the ccNC unit).
We have also purchased an EV3 gt line s. The car was ordered at the launch in October and should be delivered this week. Kia delivery is not the best. The extra road tax was the reason we also purchased now. Our e Niro was purchased used at the top price and has now lost £23,000. The EV3 will be a keeper as we are in the same situation as yourself. Keep up the good work.
The EV3 should also be a keeper but hopefully if i can get my wife used to the size of the EV3 then the EV4 hatch is not out of the question. We shall see. We are planning to downsize to a smaller house so that should free up some cash for the car after the EV3. Can't believe i’m already planning that far ahead😂 Enjoy your new car.
Still useless Kia navigation / battery preconditioning on Niro EV when Tesla chargers are excluded.
Yup,wish they’d do the deal and get those chargers added in. Crazy they are still missing after all of this time.
You could just set it to the nearest non Tesla chargers. However it's pointless since it doesn't affect charging at Tesla sites anyways. You're just wasting battery heating the battery for nothing.
@@danielsimpson8371 What a strange thing to say. Battery preheating works on every charger. A cold battery doesn’t choose brands.
Very clear explanation Brian. I followed you last three years and I thank you for all this. Hopefully you will do the same if you own the KIA EV3. So hopefyully also share your experience about your KIAEV3. We also will go back in near future for one car for same reasons as you.Thanks for all your great videos.
Thank you. I recorded a lot of EV3 footage from my test drives which i still have to edit and put out. That was before we decided to go down to one car. My intention is to carry on with the videos for the EV3 but to mainly fill in the gaps in the manual and the stuff missing from the Kia how to videos. I will try and also record some stuff with the EV6 facelift the week after next.
In the case of a flat battery with a digital key, I believe you are supposed to place your phone on the wireless charging pad for it to work.
For a flat smart key battery,yes that's correct as per the video but if you have no 12v power it will not start since you will have to use 12v booster pack on the 12v to get there. This is all theoretical until someone actually has a 12v problem, they could have secretly redesigned the 12v system and all could be good. Pigs might fly though 😆
Thanks for your help in resolving the issues with it
Please help me how i can change regional code
Sorry i don’t know.
Don't go. Don't do it . Maybe you'll change your mind ! Thanks bringing us all the news.
Watch tomorrows News Episode for every single reason why now is the right time and why I’ve gone for an EV3
Hi Brian, that's interesting. What about the App Comms? Is it still the "dumb" status refresh and do you still have to wait 2 minutes to unlock the car? Do you still have to wait for each App upload before you can do another task? IE Change max charge % and then start charge? That can take me 3 to 4 minutes sitting and looking at a very 1980's status bar. Drives me nuts and it's pushing me towards Audi.
Not 100% sure but it appears to behave like before. So if i try to change V2L % setting there is a save button and it’s pushed to the car. I’ve very rarely had to wait 2 minutes for the Kia Connect to open my EV6 though. Mostly it’s with 20-30 seconds.
Hello, I need the password for the engineering mode - I have version D2V.003.200.240318
I don't have it, sorry
Thank you.
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.
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?
I don't know for sure. Will hopefully test drive facelift before Christmas,don't think it has cornering lights though
I’ve been trying to find out if this recall still applies if you already had your ICCU replaced under the previous one.
It all depends when you had yours replaced. You can tell yourself if you have Carscanner and an OBD adapter. When did you have it changed?
@ it failed around the end of June during the cyberattack, and was in the shop for 7.5 weeks. So the ICCU was replaced in early August.
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.
I have a new Ioniq 5 which has the same options as the EV3, but obviously via Bluelink. So i would assume the facelift EV6 will be the same.
Cheers for letting me know, that makes a lot of sense
My wife likes the look of the EV3, but I like the power of my GTL S AWD. Whilst I know depreciation has been a big hit, I’d rather not have to pay the luxury car tax on a new car, so I will stick with my EV6
Luxury car tax starts April 1st so another reason to change now,locks in the cheaper rate now
I have noticed that Car Scanner is telling me eight hours to 80% on my 7 kW charger, but the car is only telling me six hours. Is there some discrepancy with Car Scanner?
Yeah maybe I will have to check
It must be said that not all EV’s have personality. Yes my EV6 does and my wife’s BMWI4 also does but most of them are white goods.
Agreed
Oh No loved Elvira 😊 nice to know you are staying with the brand though , look forward to seeing EV3
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.
Thanks, everything is temporary Brian as they say, I changed my Nero Phev last year and I loved the car but finacially it made sense to move on, now drive a Nero EV . Th 7 year warrranty on Kia means Ive stuck with brand and now on my 4th Kia, with the satisfaction that the next owner still has another few years on his/hers.
This EV3 will be my 3rd Kia,7 year warranty counts for a lot
why did you not keep the EV6 for four more years?
I need the money from it to fund the next car otherwise I will never have another new car,I can't afford it.
@@evodessey yes, but why not keep the EV6 why the need for a new one?
@jimmys6566 I will give a load more reasons in Sunday's news episode
Wishing you all the best Brian on a new chapter in your life.
Cheers Much appreciated
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.
Congratulations. What trim level are you getting?
@@evodessey GT Line - same as my EV6.
Keep it.
I wish but i need the money to fund the new car. I just can’t afford it.
@ A shame you’ve probably picked the worst time in the depreciation cycle to sell , it’ll start to level out now. Good Luck.
@malcolmsutton6740 cheers you are probably right about that but it's also a gamble.I will cover a few more reasons in Sundays Kia Electric News
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.
Hi Brian, thank you very much for your passion to the EV6. You support me with informations about the EV6 earlier and deeper than my local KIA dealer can do. Your recall reports are unique on YT. Preparing all the details for the videos and Excel needs a lot of time. Thanks a lot from Germany and wishing you a good trip always with the new EV3 Stefan
Thank you Stefan,it’s been a privilege and my EV6 coverage will not stop just because I have an EV3.
I just wish you could change the colour on the Kia Connect home screen. I want it in my beautiful sunset orange.
Even if they did they would still get the colour wrong. It looks nothing like the colour on the Kia UK website😂
@@evodessey What colour did you opt for on your EV3?
Hi Brian i seen you at the insta show in Burton what made you go for the KIA EV3 over the Insta? Cant wait to see your EV3 videos
It's too small for our needs as a 2nd car. The head unit is the old Gen 5w one which is basically old tech. The decision to go down to one car that we made just last week was based on 2 very positive test drives and all of new technology included in the EV3
I wish the EV6 allowed for remotely turning on the seat warmers/ventilation. I have to believe this could be added with a software update.
I agree,so many things they could have added.
Nooooooooo! Where will be be without regular snippets of EV6 goodness. Awesome job on the channel over last years. As below - THE REFERENCE for all things EV6 globally! Will stay glued to find out how the EV3 goes. M
Thank you. I will still do plenty of EV6 coverage especially the 2025 ICCU recall when it comes. I’ve still got a few EV6 videos left to make before i give her up (or as someone says in the comments divorce her😂)
Have you heard anything about when the EV3 will be available in Canada? I like the EV6 but I like the EV3 size better. Great video Brian, thanks.
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. Trump administration also complicates possible production in Mexico for North America if he does what he’s threatened to do which is to undo trade agreements.
@ thanks Brian for the help.
Thanks to you Brian I bought my EV6 when I needed a new car urgently in december 2021. As you say it is a great car, I still love it, the looks, the way it drives et. Thanks for all the time and work you put into this.
Sad you are saying goodbye to the EV6. I decided to keep mine for another year at least. I look forward to the videos for the EV3.
I would have kept her longer if it wasn't for the depreciation. Glad you are keeping yours a bit longer.
I didn’t think the EV 6 had battery pre- conditioning ?
It does on 2023 models onwards and also i had mine upgraded to have it and so did many other 2022 owners.
If you don’t mind me asking, how much was the upgrade? And can I have my 2022 updated or has this got to be done at purchase ?
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.
@@evodessey I’m in the uk “Plymouth” if you could link me to the videos that would be useful. Did you argue the charging issue before the purchase? Not sure how I would get on with the same argument as have had the car for over a year now
@kbtriman I did argue the charging issue but they only did it for free because I'm on good terms with my dealer. Let me have a dig.
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.
Cheers Darren that’s a great tip. I usually leave it 60%,also helps prolong cheap rate😉
