Kia EV6

Yes agreed, battery has some sort of reset. This may have been due to when upgrading ICCU. It more than likely will drop over next few charges as still cold weather. Thanks

does anyone know if the Digital Key 2.0 is available to use on the current model of EV6 (versus the facelift model expected shortly)?

I see the prices for the facelift are up on Kiacredit.ie. If I understand it correctly, the prices shown have the grant deducted but don't include delivery charges, so it could add another ~1500 to get the final price.

Interesting to see them back around what the original GT Line price was before they increased it to 65k.

And also interesting that they only show 3 colours available for the GT Line, and no red option for either trim.

I should have trusted you....ill know the next time. 😇

Today's saviour! Only downside is that it means I can work from home.

IP rated could be anything. I'd say it's just water resistant looking at it. So maybe IP44 or 54.

What all did you power with it?

What are you plugging into it to connect these appliances? A quality extension lead?

2 TV,s 2 Sky boxes, internet and mesh, airfryer, laptop, 2 monitors all at once. All going well till kettle was added to the mix. Some kinda electrical trip took place, had to start and stop car to reset. All ok after. Good quality extension leads fully extended.

Car is now parked at parents house for a few days to help them out!

Yeah kettle can pull between 2-3kws, that's close to V2L capacity on EV6

Hi , posted the below message in the bidirectional thread back in December, still have no power since Friday here but getting by with car and extension lead. Just checking if anyone connected car to genny input and used changeover switch? Could shut off mcbs to big power users and solar would still work? Would like to be able to use lights rather than cables to lamps and the smell of vanilla, fig ,mulberry and God knows what candles has me poisoned 🙈. Thanks 

Hi all. Re wired the house about 5 years ago and put in change over switch to change from mains supply to generator. Bought an ev6 which has v2l earlier this year and was going to look at it as a back up supply if power goes. There’s a socket in garage to plug in generator and was going to get a cable to connect v2l plug to it. I see it mentioned in earlier post, not to connect to fuse board. Just wondering is this to avoid drawing too much power from the car if a load of things are switched on or is there another reason. The way I was thinking of doing it was to turn off the mcb’s going to the elec oven/hob freezer etc to avoid overloading it. Would this make sense ? 

Theoretically that would work I think (lots of hedging there 🤣). Your car can only provide a max of 3.6kW, so you'd have to be very careful not to exceed that.

The danger is (say) you have the MCB to the kitchen sockets on for TV and someone switches on the kettle.

Best to make a list of what each MCB controls and tot them up for power usage and then decide which ones to leave on and which to leave off. I assume you've the means to make up a cable to connect the car to the generator input? Also make sure that cable is heavy enough to handle 3.6kW.

The full GT 500bhp model? Well wear
