Range and E-niro charging problems

Recommended Posts

Greetings everyone
My 2022 Kia Niro 1st Gen. was acquired around five weeks ago. At the time of my pickup, the car's GOM had a full charge range of 186 miles. The prior owner only had an accumulated 3.2 mls/kwh, so I figured that was why it was a little low. Having driven more than 700 miles at an average of 4.5mls/kwh, I still haven't seen the GOM range go over 189 miles. Regardless of whether I charge it to 70%, 80%, or 90%, the range remains 189 miles! Does this sound normal, or do I need to get it examined? Has anyone else gone through something similar? Thank you ahead of time

It is quite correct; we frequently observe 260–290 from 80% plus charges. I just completed 110 highway miles with a 40% charge, so it is in the ballpark. The 186 is closer to a 39kw battery than a 64..., and I remember zeroing the trip when we bought it when it was conducting test drives at about 3.2.

When I charge my GoM to 100%, the range rises by 19 miles to 189 miles, yet at 60% battery, it only goes approximately 170 miles. Charging from 70% to 100% doesn't appear to improve the range much, if at all. Even though I only have a 3.6 watt charger, it goes from 70% to 100% in what looks like only 5 minutes.

Please clear any data stored on the dashboard. In doing so, the system will be able to adapt to the way you drive. In-wheel menu with two pages

At the moment, I have 304 at 100%.

There is a major problem. 🤢 19.2 kWh is the half of 64. It would take little less than three hours to charge from 70% to 100% on a 7kWh charger.
At 3.6 kWh, that works out to about 6 hours.


Be sure the head unit's charge level is set to 100%.
Make sure the charger isn't losing connection.
Which provider and pricing structure?

Soon after purchasing the vehicle, I cleared the dashboard of any stored data; hence, after 700 miles, it should have adjusted to my driving habits. Regarding a standard pricing, I agree with Octopus. The charger is staying connected, and after 10 minutes of charging from 70%, the car's dashboard shows that the charge level has reached 100%. It says that the battery has 100% SOH on my OBD 2. Might the on-board charger be the culprit?

Tell me which charger you're using.
Is it showing that the battery is fully charged?
Are you able to connect?

Can you tell me the desired amount of charge on the control panel's EV charging section?



Have you tested the charge time by running the car to a low percentage?
