EV6 GT from 06/2023: 23.000 km, 14°C, DC Load: 37, AC Load: 771 --> 71254 Wh
Thanks for demonstrating that. With the seat bench removed do the seat backs fold down flat? In standard configuration it's not so comfortable for sleeping in as the seat backs don't go down completely flat. Cheers
No idea,will have to try it
Looks like the EV5 GTL doesn’t get Matrix headlights ?
Does look that way. I can’t remember if Chinese Spec ever had them.Will have to do some digging
Those specs that Drive quote that i used are off the coming soon version of the EV5 website as far as i can tell. I expect a more detailed press release spec sheet soon.
Found this on the Australian Kia website. If you press brochure from the pricing configurator www.kia.com/content/dam/kwcms/au/en/images/pdf/ev5/kia-ev5-brochure.pdf
Thanks Brian, Yes same specs for Aus and NZ and definitely no Matrix lights.
BTW - I know that the Drive journo suggested that the GT Line EV5 had heated / cooled storage. I think it is Ventilated front seats / Heated second row seats - NOT storage
The chiller was in the Chinese spec but i can’t remember if the box was heated as well though so maybe Drive are correct after all.
I’ve found this EV5 e-brochure on the Oz website. It’s all in there in full spec details www.kia.com/content/dam/kwcms/au/en/images/pdf/ev5/kia-ev5-brochure.pdf
Until they get the 12 volt battery sorted they will have trouble selling their evs
That update for the newer models is strange? In the last update for the older models they just removed soundcloud.
They removed Soundhound which is an app to identify tracks. Soundcloud is a music streaming platform.
@@evodessey I had the biggest part of the name correct 😃 Sorry for the confussion
Any news on the Kia EV8? I've heard Late 2025 for the unveiling and 2026 for release.
I’ve seen nothing. Maybe if Kia does an EV day like last year we will see.
I’m betting Brian the price of the EV5 will be between £42,000 & £52,000i hope I’m wrong. What I do know it won’t be the same price as the EV3.
I think the Air trim will still start below £35k. EV3 has that more expensive NCM battery. Let’s start taking bets😂
THANKS!! Worked nicely!!
I thought i saw you there on Friday..
There were a few EV6 drivers there. You should have said hello.
@@evodessey I would have but we walked in opposite directions I didn’t recognise you without your glasses 😂. I’m a future Ioniq 5 owner.
Has anybody charged their EV6 on a Tesla charger? They are 400v so it uses the motor and rear inverter to convert to 800v and that limits power to around 100kW.
Lots of folk in the comments above. They get around 94kW and it chucks them off at 80%
This is stupid, computer says no? There is no way even a good developer can anticipate all scenarios. There must be some way we can all get together and bombard KIA with thousands of demands, to add a simple precharge button to one of these screens.
Yup. The trick worked this morning at Ionity. Was the quietest Ionity I’ve ever been to.
Hi Brian:- Sadly NWG look like they gave stopped their on-line ordering (10/24), so looking elsewhere. Pity they look like just what I was looking for 😢
Ah that’s a pain. Was a nearly 3 years ago though since i ordered. I sat in the EV6 Facelift at Fully Charged Show today and test drove the Ioniq 5 N Line facelift. EV6 Facelift looks better in the flesh
@@evodessey A show I have always wanted to visit but its a long way to go for me, I live in the Kingdom of Fife 😉, maybe next year?. Are you thinking of swapping your EV6 for an Ionity then.......? I got my EV6 on Thursday and absolutely delighted with it thusfar, its everything i expected and have researched............and more! Really looking forward to taking it over to Spain in February via the Portsmouth - Bilbao ferry and hopefully trying out the Tesla Superchargers via the Kia Navigation system. Ive seen your post on the Carlinkit Tbox + and seriously considering getting one as I use ABRP for my alternate navigation aid.........do you happen to know if I will still need to link it to my car's OBD reader via Tronity as I had to do in my E-Niro or should the OBD just link directly to the car, if I install the ABRP directly on the Carlinkit device? Using the Tronity connection is a real faff and another layer of unwelcome complication....... Hope you found the show wothwhile, take care - Stewart
@stewarthamilton I'm keeping my EV 6 for now cos I still love it so much. ABRP should link directly to OBD via Bluetooth on Carlinkit just like Car Scanner does.
Cheers! I will test with 2,4ghz and middle channel today. Super tired of these issues!
Do you always leave the vGate plugged-in, and Car Scanner connected when you leave the vehicle? Should I click disconnect in Car Scanner or will it all shut off on its own?
I unplug OBD adapter since it will drain the 12v battery.
@@evodessey Interesting. It says in the blurb that the adapter will shut off after 30 mins. Does that not happen in the Kia?
@mattsoutherden obd led light always remains on since it bypasses all that
@@evodessey OK. Good to know. Thank you. I'd better go and unplug it....
If Tesla is not charging as fast as Ionity, why use Tesla. I used outside charging few times with pre conditioned battery. It only took about 10-15 mins to charge from 30 to 80%. Ionity can add at 234kw speed
wth, so if the chargers are busy the car skips pre-conditioning.... That does'nt even make sense, because even if the stalls are full now you really think I would'nt charge there or anywhere nearby.. I'ts not like the battery cools down within 2 minutes or so... Just give us a manual button..
I’ve had it fail to pre-condition like that before. Fingers crossed for tomorrow’s journey. A lot does not make sense in the journey planner.
This issue can easily be resolved with a manual precondition capability. Similar to what's in the EV9. It's just a software change.
I thought that using the new V4 tesla supercharger you can’t get the 240 kw speed. Don’t know if this is true would be interesting to know if you have tried it. This only applies to both the Kia EV6 and Hyundai cars with 800 volt system.
I’ve not tried it. Don’t know if it is any better. Someone who watches this channel probably has.
I've got an Ioniq 5 and get 97kW on a V4 tesla. currently all Tesla superchargers only give out approx 400V. I don't think Tesla will change this until they sell an 800V car in the UK.
@@rtomos-v2ysame here in Germany. I try this on V4, 97 kWh! 😊
Same here in the USA. I’ve charged my GV60 at a couple of Tesla magic dock stations and 97kW is the max. The good news is it holds at 97kW until 83% SOC. The limit is the car’s internal 400v to 800v converter. Since the battery isn’t the limiting factor, I’m not sure that preconditioning will help much. It still would be nice to have a button though.
There’s a manual button for battery pre-conditioning in EV9 and EV3.
I know and the new Facelift EV6
Not easy to do all that as you're driving! It would be nice if there was a way to manually switch the preconditioning on a few miles before though obviously we'd not know how much pre-heating was needed. The issue of Tesla chargers being on the map was interesting - not thought about that.
Yup too much screen faffing. Not even voice commands to make it easier.
It is utter garbage. Such a disappointment
Yup,such a faff.
Cheers Brian, look forward to trying your solution on my first roadtrip and will let tou know how it goes. Look forward to Kia rolling out a proper solution to this battery pre-conditioning issue!👍😎
Sorry Brian this is a pointless video re tesla chargers. There is absolutely no need to preheat the battery for Tesla chargers. It's a waste of your time and more importantly KW energy. You charge at a constant 94-96kwh until it reaches 80% at which point it drops then fails. This is irrespective of whether you preheat the battery or not. So there is absolutely no point wasting your battery preheating it under these circumstances.
Agreed. Maybe for Tesla but for Ionity chargers not on the Maps or other fast chargers missing from the maps then it works well. I’ve added a video note in the description
I can confirm this indeed. My Kia take 98kw max at Tesla. No need to Pre-Heat it. Doesnt matter if the charger is a 150kw or a 250kw. KIA charges at max 98kw. Heard thats due of the 800v infrastructure of Kia.
Yeah I agree unless the battery is very cold. I use Car Scanner to check the cell temperatures. I'm not sure yet at what temperature the EV6 throttles back the charge rate to below the normal 96-97kW on a Tesla charger. Last weekend I set the destination to the Perth Ionity when I was going to charge at the Perth Tesla as the min cell temp was 13C. When I saw my consumption plumeting while the preconditioning was taking over 4kW I cancelled the preconditioning immediate;ly! Car charged at 96kW, so the battery would need to be a fair bit colder to necessitate preconditioning, I think.
Last winter I visited a Tesla site without preconditioning and only received around 45kw. With preconditioning I always achieve 97 ish
@@stephengowler5360 Has never made a difference for me. Though today I was charging at 45kwh (a first) but that was due to a Tesla charging next to me splitting the rate between us. Maybe that's what happened in your case too?
Thanks Brian. This Battery Pre-conditioning by destination is garbage! Why should we have to faff around with go arounds when the simplist of solutions is a swithch or button. It doesn't work for me. I have no choice with rapid and ultra rapid chargers. From my remote location, the closest is Ionity in Perth, 116 miles away. Therefore I can't fool it into thinking I'm going elsewhere as there is no other elsewhere other than the Tesla chargers in Aviemore which do not feature on the map! I'm afraid that Hyundai Group take their customers to be idiots and cannot be trusted to push a button at the correct time! Maybe we are....... we bought the their vehicles in the first place!!!
Sorry to hear that Nick,that is a flipping pain
Thx a million! I had a Zappi installed on the 2nd Oct & been struggling & most help mails went somewhere??? FYI. I have Battery, inverter & solar via Octopus.

My EV9 has been unusable and in for repair for manufacturing defect for over a month. After Kia Canada became aware I did a consumer report story with CTV news, in less than 24 hours they couriered a replacement part for my vehicle. Terrible that one must go to such lengthens to get help. I encourage other EV9 owners to do the same.
I’m glad you’ve finally got a result with this. Gave them the kick up the butt they needed. I had to write to the CEO of Kia UK to get one of my problems on my EV6 sorted a while back. We should not have to do any of this.
Great I could not locate you CTV news story, how is your EV9 operating since the part replacement? There have been some EV9 owners waiting longer than you have for the part but as we must realize “the squeaky wheel gets the oil”!

I have just followed your trick. The recommended pressure alone does not solve the problem alarm. I put extra pressure on the problem tyre - a little less than here recommended. Drove 1 km, and the alarm was reset automatically. Reduced the pressure, and everything is fine. Thank you for posting.

@cristiown7906 that version was never released as a download so I've no idea sorry. Did you try the password for previous version? That was 1945 0815
Hi Brian, I had a doppelganger of Elvira from Jan 2022 until last weekend, when I replaced it with the new MY25 model (also a GT-Line S RWD with heat pump, and also in red). After a few days of use I'd say there's not enough of a difference/improvement to make you rush out and make the change yourself. Nothing is terrible, but nothing really stands out as markedly improved. You may have to change at some point over the next year, just to allow you to keep your content relevant, but there's no real standout feature to make you rush to do so.
Nice. I’m already in no rush to change. I’m still intending to test drive the Facelift when i can get the time.Hopefully some over the air update improvements will come. How does the journey planner compare?

regarging the price. well sadly small cars in the UK have gone up massivey across the board. the picanto is starting at £15.5k and thats with an engine so underpowered that I would personally not feel great doing motorway journeys on it. the yaris is now £22k+ and if you factor in savings if you can charge on a lower EV tarrif, the total cost over x years should be much better to take. although of course just wait a year and get one used approved for the full 5 year warranty and a probable large saving on list price.
Excellent point. People often forget that prices for all cars have risen over the last few years.
Hi Brian it would be great if the EV3 AWD would be available with a 1.5” lift for added ground clearance. Ground clearance is the reason Suburus sell so well in Canada!
2025 IONIQ 5 XRT models gain access to 17,000+ Tesla Superchargers via new North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, with adapters available for all other models. From Hyundai Canada news release. The 2025 model car's are built in the Georgia factory and imported to Canada. Note it appears to say other ioniq5 models built there will be installed with CCS1. The 2025 ioniq5 updates don't list the j3400 as a change.
They just been hacked yeh
Is the UK version going to have the sunroof? All the LH versions do have, but the UK spec sheet does not mention it????
I would say not. I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere.
@@evodessey Always the same in the UK. We pay over the odds and get fewer of the specifications.
@nealstreet1956 it would seem😔
Thanks Brian, another great video! It’s too bad Kia ev 9 in Canada is having problems.
I was configuring Ev3 for UK yesterday. AFAICS to get 3D/360 view i need to go for top spec and buy the £42k GT version or possibly the £39k trim. Is this right? Very annoying.
The 3d view camera always comes with the GT Line S top trim. Same as on EV6 as far as i’ve seen.

IMO Inster is too expensive for the range.
Such a shame - I think around £2K-£3K more than we were expecting but also it seems with some of the tech removed that excited us in the Korean reviews. I hope that's just a slip-up on the UK website.
Why? Which one other BEV is cheaper offering at least the same range?
@@marekwitek7494 I'm comparing to ICE.
@@Joe-lb8qn So which one BEV in this price is better than INSTer?
@@marekwitek7494 like I said I'm comparing with ICE. I think people buying ICE won't be tempted by this.
Is this problem still active? Or was there an update? Can you help? Thx
Tanks a lot for the guideline! Our battery died yesterday, 5 days after the end of the warranty🎉... luckily in Front of our home. during the swap i Noticed, that the connector for the Frunk Light wasnt plugged in. I also had to remove it, because the New battery is a little bit bigger. The Light in the Frunk instantly wents on, if the hood is unlocked, btw... Overall it Took me 20 minutes, thanks to your advice!
Glad the video helped. Fingers crossed for no further trouble.
@@evodessey i instantly also ordered a booster⚡️⚡️⚡️!
@johannesmuller8214 good move👍
Thank you man. This solved the problem with the radio. It stopped working after some hours of driving, after done what you showed, the problem disappeared. Thanks
Hi Brian: Hope you can help me..... Just about to upgrade my E-Niro for an EV6 to get faster charging speed as we head to Spain each year, and to include Tesla Superchargers in their EV6 navigation system so that they can be used with the new route planning features that were introduced recently. At present I use ABRP with an OBD reader to use TESLA Sperchargers as they are c. 1/2 the price to use (with a Tesla Account) but it's a bit of a FAFF and if I can use the on-board navigation it would be much simpler..... Thanks in anticipation. Kindest regards Stewart
Congratulations! At this stage Tesla chargers are still missing from built in Navigation Maps so it’s still a pain. Hopefully the fact that Hyundai Group has done a deal with Tesla in US and also the fact that Tesla chargers will appear on Hyundai Group maps in the US from early 2025 is a sign that we get all of the open chargers added in the EU in 2025. In the meantime the best you can do is to add a nearby DC charger as a stop off point into your route in the Kia Nav so hopefully the battery pre-condition will work so that you can get maximum charging speed. One day we can hope this will all be perfect…
@evodessey Brian: Thanks for the help and info. Hopefully, they will get their collaborative acts together by the time we head back down to Spain next February 🤞. Good idea for a workaround. Thanks for the update, keep up the great work - Stewart👍
This little car is way too expensive. I always prefer a Dacia Spring 8000 pounds cheaper.
2 year old GT line RWD. Done 72000 km. 69584 Wh remaining at 100% charge. OBD scanner reports 98.7% SOH
Not too bad. How often do you DC rapid charge?
Has to be one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen, to my eyes!
A bit pricey for a small car.
@@DavidPlayfair Yep, a good few thousand more than we were expecting. Big shame.
So not very cheap then..
Compared to what though? it has a lot of tech for the money.
@@evodessey I'm still waiting for the drops in battery costs to have a significant impact on the EV market. This won't be cheap enough to boost sales of new EVs unfortunately. Without the lease market, new EV sales are really struggling in the UK because the costs are too high.
@@evodessey We were led to believe it would be c. €22,000 which is about £18,500. So yes, £23,495 is a considerable £5K mark up. Very disappointing.
At last. Competing with the Chinese. This is where Kia EV3 should have been.
Could well be where the Kia EV2 ends up hopefully
