Love your videos !!!
@@Skylerblue-x2v Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Looks like a good choice. How does it compare day to day with the tesla wall unit? which do you prefer?
Thanks!
No strain reliefs, double down on the cord splitters, how to burn your house down is 3 easy steps
SoundCore A30I vs SoundCore Life Dot 3I ? Which is good !? Sound quality main preference!!.
Does it read electronics in the adapter to work out the billing ?
Supercharger network communications in CCS language directly through the adapter into the ford f150 and payment is done through the ford pass network app which takes payment from your card automatically when you plug in! Other EVs experience may vary
Did you know if you drive a electric truck your technically gay yeah I didn't believe it either till I seen this video
Lol
I would never do this, I want nothing to do with Tesla.
Also, the Tesla App says using a non-Tesla adapter is “strictly prohibited “?
@@DavidBelitsky all charging networks say similar stuff about official adapters only but it's only to legally protect them! Ford and Gm started sending customers Lectron brand adapters which are not tesla official and Tesla hasn't shared any concerns about it! I have always used non official adapter because they are half the waiting time and half the price and same quality lol
😊GREAT. Where do I get one? GM has not provided an adapter for my Equinox after 3 months on back order. The Tesla app does not show a path for ordering one! Want to sell yours?
@@DavidBelitsky I got mine from the link in the description and use code Battery for the largest discount I think it was only $146.30 after the discount and shipping was pretty fast!
got a 2024 5 months and its now had 2 batteries in 3 days doing this same thing Kia is blaming the EVgo and EA apps
@@jlennonfan2424 that is just crazy I have lost all respect for Kia for making a great car with such a Achilles heel and denying responsibility for it!
Can get the adapter on tesstudios.com and use code Battery for 22% off Edit: here is the link! www.tesstudio.com/products/tesstudio-tesla-supercharger-nacs-to-ccs-adapter-500a-1000v-for-ford-gm-rivian?_pos=1&_sid=dae3debe7&_ss=r Sorry the link isn't clickable, just screenshot the link and copy the text from the photo using google lens or anything similar!

"No cuts" but ur battery blade u slice and cut stuff even in your name?
Very windy day!
Had my EV6 from new for around a year and 20k miles with no issues at all even had the ICCU recall upgrade done and about 1 month later the 12v battery died triggered by having the tailgate open for about 30mins. I already had a Noco boost box and was able to get started again but a few days later it died again. Called my kia dealer they were great looked at the car same day tested the battery it failed the test and they replaced it under warranty right away. A few learnings the factory batteries are just poor quality or not suitable for EV usage patterns, the ICCU recall does not appear to fix the issue, its well worth buying a boost box and keeping it in the frunk just in case and in UK the dealer franchise model means you can get a good one or a bad one. Mine is wessex kia in Newport wales. I do expect the replacement is not likely to last more than a year but would definitely consider replacing with better quality option if not covered by warranty, otherwise EV6 has been fantastic and wouldn't swap it for anything else.
Why don't you change the battery?
The lightning looks sweet at night!
They should just repaint the lines lol
Thanks. My 12v died the other day. I still have to struggle with the dealership since they don't want to replace on warranty. I love my car. Best car I have ever had. But I must admit, struggling with battery replacement was not what I expected when buying it 1.3 years ago.
Get a decent battery tester (Topdon?) and check the capacity %. Prove to kia it needs replacing!
Get a 12-gauge or 10 gauge extension cord. I used a lighter so-called heavy duty extension cord and my evse plug welded itself to it
May I know the problem will be completely solved after replace the battery? even ICCU problem? thanks!
How do you know which stations have it?
Good question
please show up close where you connect the cables to the 12 volt battery. Could not see due to your camera angle. Thanks
Writing this August 2024, I just bought a used 2020 Bolt with 31K miles for $14,500 OUT THE DOOR. I have solar on my roof, so ZERO fuel costs, ZERO oil change costs, ZERO brake repair costs.
I'm looking at similar deals online, my problem is I live in Eugene (Oregon) and all the used Bolts are 2 hours drive away in Portland, but I'll likely get one eventually. I've test driven a used Leaf but the Chademo charger and shorter range kind of kill the deal, plus slightly offset speedo. When I'm driving I want my speed front and center in my vision at all times, not off to one side or on screen in the middle of the dash like a Tesla.
Of course it’s gonna get you home. It’s a Chevy, not some German or Japanese shit box.
Are you telling me the way to fix battery drain on a 65k pound new car is to buy a battery start pack?! Jesus
Will consider a KIA whenever or if they have a permanent fix.....
how was the winter snow driving?? I've only ever been in awd vehicles (with winter tires) but my budget right now is something like a bolt ev/kona/niro thats fwd.
Thanks! It is really helpful. Do you need a load balancer to balance the load between home appliances and EV chargers?
Thank you
why have you not went to KIA to get a NEW 12V replacement under warranty to start with? That would take some headache away atleast.
I'm a college student and I'm looking for an electric vehicle to lease. I really want to do a Tesla, but the insurance on them is so high. As a mechanical engineering student who is in the field of electric vehicles, I really want an electric vehicle. Right now the kid EV6 is looking more like an option for me since it's cheaper to lease, and the insurance is not high. Would you recommend this for a first electric car? I know you said that it's not as new person friendly as a Tesla, but do you think it's good enough for someone who is just getting in the EV
Sounds like a Kia EV6 could be a good choice for you I do believe it's definitely not as streamlined experience as a Tesla for new electric vehicle owners but as a mechanical engineering student you seem like you would be more than smart enough and capable of dealing with sub optimal charging infrastructure and lots of other electric vehicle related apps for activating charging sessions and planning road trips across different networks.
@@batteryblade thank you so much
You should check out the electrify America 350s they're really really really fast if you have the right vehicle. 😊
@@adamwiseman5831 haha definitely not any faster with a Bolt Ev!
Are you going to replace 12v battery every 2 years? ‘Do not replace the battery via dealership’ is a wrong advice as you encourage the irresponsible behaviour from KIA and KIA dealership. They have to recall EV6s. This is not your problem but theirs!
Thank you. This is the best power sharing vid I've seen on YT so far.
Would be fun to drive my 2017 to death and beyond. I can have my Solix F3800 fully charged in the back. (it's 130 lbs!) That'll let me get at least 9 miles more charging off that wherever I have to stop.
Nice
❤
😊

I want this, but a little overpriced.
Look at the price difference between the two cars and take that into comparison.
Can't wait to flip the switch on the V4 stations.
Great video Blade, the unique combination of your physical attributes and product review brings to mind a notable business leader, specifically Elon Musk, while also sharing some commonalities with individuals having intellectual disabilities.
😂😭
Keep up the good work happy 4th of july 😎🇺🇸
I watch videos like this and they are mostly interesting but then some parts make me think "why". Doing a "race" between a Tesla and a Bolt is silly. Clearly the Bolt charges much slower compared to the Tesla. I don't own a Bolt yet but I have owned a Chevy Spark EV which has the same charging speed as the Bolt. Also people keep calling the Bolt a "commuter" or a "city" car and that's just 100% false. The Bolt can be local and long distant. I'll choose a Bolt over a Tesla any day. Decent video though but people who don't own an EV or don't know much about them then this gives the anti EV people more fuel to throw on the anti ev fire!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I see your point that racing a bolt against a tesla needlessly puts the bolt down, but I like to focus on how well it did do against the tesla for less than half the price! I mainly found it super interesting that the bolts range and efficiency was nearly matching the Tesla, and the car is almost as good if it weren't for the achilles heel of the charging speed!
