I have noticed that my Kia EV6's battery seems to drain quickly, even when the car is not in use for long periods of time. Is there something wrong with my battery or is it normal for EVs to have quick battery drain?
ReplyHi Nate, it's normal for electric vehicles to have a slight battery drain while not in use. This is usually due to the car's systems using a small amount of power for functions like maintaining the battery temperature and keeping the car connected to the internet. However, if you are experiencing an abnormally fast battery drain, there may be an issue with your battery or other components. It's always a good idea to have your car checked by a certified technician for peace of mind.
Hey Nate, I have a Kia EV6 as well and have noticed the same thing. After doing some research, I found out that it's common for EV batteries to experience a faster drain in extreme temperatures or when the battery is not properly maintained. I recommend keeping your car in a garage or shaded area and regularly checking the battery's state of charge to make sure it stays within the optimal range.
Hi Nate, I've also experienced this with my Kia EV6. It turns out that my battery was not calibrated properly, causing it to report an incorrect state of charge. I took it to the dealership and they were able to recalibrate it for me. Since then, I haven't had any issues with quick battery drain. I suggest getting your battery checked and calibrated if needed.
