You have to turn off recirculation in tunnels - separate option in the menu 😀

For windshield tunnel fogging, go to settings and deactivate auto air recycling when in tunnels.

You are totally wrong about overheating with Kia EV6 and Ioniq 800v cars. By driving, the battery, even at 130km/h, the battery will be colder and colder. If you don't plan for preconditioning you will just lett the battery freeze. As a daily user, I just don't have those issues. The car you were driving is not up to date. It seems not to display soc at arrival, the last update can display these information. And serously, it is not the first time you were using a Kia/Hyundai 800v car. Haw can you fail to use it properly, and blame the car. It needs preconditioning. You knew that preconditioning would stop at 20%. And your passive preheating is just useless with those cars. The ability to charge so fast is just due to an extraordinary low self resistance pack. How could a 77kwh battery could handle 160 kw (sometimes more) at more than 60% SOC if it had just simple cells. The problem is no internal resistance when charging means no internal resistance when discharging, no heat at all. So you then have to be really strict with the preconditioning in winter. Just take a look at Sk On SF battery.

This car should not fog up in tunnels. There is a selection in the climate control settings specifically for adjusting the climate control in tunnels to prevent that. It must be turned off in this car. Also, the fastest way to road trip the car is have the car plan the road trip and add the chargers. You can manage the stops by filtering chargers by brands and charging speeds. If you do that preconditioning will turn on approximately 30 minutes before coming to the charger. It should use around 4kWH to warm the battery to 21C when it’s 3C. If the minimum cell temp gets to 21C then you can get approximately 240kWs.

I currently have a Renault Zoe and use it daily for getting around. However, I have mostly local trips to do. I very much enjoy driving electric rather than petrol or diesel!!

[Madonsteamrailways]

Of course you’ll have to charge up during the journey, but it’s better for the environment to have the electric car than a petrol or diesel car.

1st charge user error. 2nd charge working as intended. With the latest update which this car doesn't seem to have things are even better in terms of usability of navigation/heating and you get to know at what percentage you arrive to the charger.

The EV6 GT is a performance beast that is held back by its short range. It probably needs another 8-10kWh of battery pack size to be a useful road tripper.

Thanks for busting the myth about lower consumption in Eco mode and with zero regeneration while cruising using the adaptive cruise control. By the way, doe the GT model even disconnect the from motor physically like the AWD version does? I am not sure about that actually.

[potentustheone]

Pls check manual first and then blame missed a lot of adjustments that makes navigation much more easier

[kjellagetullien]

Whats the latest update on the navigation on this car? October 23 update?

[Madonsteamrailways]

Personally, I wouldn’t do this type of test if I didn’t have a campervan!! As I’m currently driving a car, I don’t think that this type of testing would work for me.

[frederiksen]

The Nav how is that working?
I does not show SOC right? and does not estimate how Long you need to charge, when charging?

[The_Observer]

Very strange that Tesla chargers aren’t searchable in Kia EVs. Asking Kia I only got corporate bs answer.

[Madonsteamrailways]

Where are you doing this test? Is it in Denmark or Sweden, or is it in another part of Europe?
