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?

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.

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

You should check out the electrify America 350s they're really really really fast if you have the right vehicle. 😊

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!

I wish you could click screen to open door.

Ah yes, the massive wiper that now gets your truck recalled because the motor fails.

18 min 80% wow very fast ⚡️👍

I love my ev6! Good info.

I like the EV etiquette you wanted to have. Now that I finally have a 22 Bolt EUV, I found out the GM to Tesla part number. It's seems the the part should be available in July. Loving the Bolt. No level 2 charger, but as you did awhile back the 110 is good till the fall. Keep up the great work.

Good point on EV etiquette- non Teslas should use the end spot. The Brighton, MI v4 superchargers are ALMOST ready to go.

What year is your car?

Great car, but rubbish battery. Unfortunately here in England we also have an abysmal Kia dealership network; you can't get an answer on the phone, you drive to the dealers, as I did yesterday and the soonest they can look at my car is four weeks. One dealer said the battery is only warranted for a year, another said two years, they really don't know what they're doing, and don't appear to care. I won't buy another Kia.

I almost bought a Bolt from that dealership. They left out some pertinent information on my initial visit regarding the 'Branded Title' of the Bolt I was looking at. Most 'normal' banks won't lend at more than 50-60% of the price of the vehicle nor will most insurances insure it at 100% of value. Wasn't worth it. I ended up buying a 'Clean Title' used Bolt from Steinle GMC near the EA charging station you used on the way back. I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the Bolt after 7 months? How does it compare to the Model 3?

I just HAD to comment when I watched the part about you not realizing you got up at 2:30 am. Ha! I'm researching about getting a Bolt for my daughter when she turns 16. Thanks for the content, and keep working hard.

How did you get it?

their a great car just put 10k on the side incase you need to do hvac replacement or anyother component if it goes out. my 2017 bolt hvac went out so this is why im just saying. its a fun car love my 2017 and have 2 12s in the back 1500w at 1 ohm for my subwoofers that i have.

Can’t seem to get to the menu. And not sure if it’s working the way I thought it would. My set up is two Tesla charger on 60amp. And I was wondering if I could power share or maintain this way as well or that defeats the purpose of?

Is that Clarkston Washington?

If you are going to show an install video, at least do it right. use the right wire and connectors..

When navigating the trip has a progress bar. There is also anew animation on the charging screen that I like.

good video and good buy. The fastest charging for the Bolt is 10% - 55%. So for trips I'd start at 100% and during the trip charge from 10% - 55% which is roughly every 100 miles or every 2 hours.

that is a great video ,thanks

Damn, you have the coolest name. I picked “dailyfunctionalprogramming” 😅
