  1. 2018-2022 Kia Niro EV Batteries And Charging
    We have a 2022 Niro EX EV, it has just under 24K miles on it. Recently this message reading "Vehicle Charging Stopped. Check charger for issues." has started popping up. This seems to happen when the car is disconnected from the charger (a Grizzl-e Smart) before the charging session has...

    Hi Friends, I am on my 2nd Kia Niro PHEV - started with a 2018, now driving a 2020. I had been charging via extension cord in V1 plug outlet in my garage + extension cord. I had to move and won't reach to a plug, so need to put in a new outlet. It's pricing out at around $1000 - yikes. Here are...
  3. 2018-2022 Kia Niro EV Batteries And Charging
    I’ve have my 2020 Kia Niro since June of 2023. It has been a great car but for one big problem; it will not connect to ANY level 3 station. Except, that’s not 100% accurate. I have experienced only 1 level 3 charging station that recognizes and charges my car. It is a ChargePoint station...
  4. 2023+ Niro EV
    I had the software update for the brakes about two weeks ago, ever since the Niro hasn't fully charged up, it gets interrupted. I been getting "Charge error! Failed to complete charging. Pease check your vehicle." It will charge up an hour or two and I will get this message. Using an Autel...

    I have a 2018 Niro plug in hybrid. Lately, when I plug it in, it doesn’t charge. The charger has a green light except for the connection to the car, that symbol is red. Any idea what might be happening?

    I've had my PHEV Niro since new and don't drive more than 4k a year. Recently I had it in for a regular oil change. Less than week later (maybe not related) the vehicle would no longer charge. I checked with multiple chargers and get the same result - green light for about 3 seconds followed by...

    Hi, I’ve just received delivery of a 72 plate Niro PHEV. Same charger as my partners audi, so plugged that in which worked for a while and then next time I went out in it I received error message ‘charging was interrupted’. Went to plug it in again and wouldn’t charge. Used charger which came...
  9. 2018-2022 Kia Niro EV Batteries And Charging
    When Setting a charge schedule, what's the difference between "Prioritize Off-peak charging" and "Charge ONLY during Off-peak"? I know that when it is set to "ONLY" you can still start it manually anytime. Is that different from "Prioritize?" If not, When would it make sense to select the...

    TLDR - I’ve been working on a passion project with my EV friends the past year - we’re building an app that helps EV drivers pay for any EV charger across providers with just a single app. The app is 100% free and we take nothing. We’d love to hear your feedback on how we can improve the...
  11. Kia Niro News
    I’m perplexed as to why the charging handle unlocks at the end of a scheduled charging cycle. The manual states the handle unlock if the Niro PHEV is in Auto mode. I switched it to HEV, but still experienced the charging handle being unlocked when I visited the car in the morning, all the doors...
  12. 2018-2022 Kia Niro EV Batteries And Charging
    Loving my brand new 2019 Niro EV! This being my first EV, I have questions about charging practice -- in particular, to what max level should I charge each night I plug it in? And does it matter if it's trickle or level 2 charging? My salesperson said if you really want to preserve battery...
