The Most Epic Of Fails: I Run Out Of Charge Before I Even Do The Roof Box Range Test
This video documents a series of unfortunate events for the reviewer, primarily centered around an attempt to test the range of a Kia Niro EV with a r... moreoof box. The reviewer experienced significant issues, including being sent to the wrong location by Apple Maps, running out of charge on the motorway, and encountering non-functional charging stations (IONITY and Charge Master/BP Pulse). The car's estimated range proved unreliable, dropping drastically and leading to a breakdown and a lengthy wait for recovery services. The reviewer also highlighted the slow charging speed (7.3 kW) due to the car's onboard charger limitation, despite being connected to a faster AC charger. The video concludes with a second attempt to reach a charging station, which also proved problematic due to non-operational IONITY chargers. The reviewer's efficiency with the roof box was around 3.3-3.6 miles per kWh, a notable decrease from expected performance. Ultimately, the video serves as a cautionary tale about relying too heavily on navigation apps, trusting range estimates implicitly, and the current unreliability of charging infrastructure. less
My Second Impressions: Kia E-Niro After Two Months
After two months of ownership, the reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with the Kia e-Niro, highlighting its practicality and electric capabilities... more. Key positives include the smooth and quiet ride, effective adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist (though with caveats on narrow roads), and impressive real-world range, estimated at around 300 miles, with the reviewer achieving 4.4 miles/kWh even in mixed driving. The reviewer particularly praises the car's ability to feel like a "normal car" with added EV benefits, making it less intimidating than some competitors like Tesla for the average buyer. The lumbar support in the seats is also a notable advantage for those with back issues. While acknowledging minor drawbacks such as the prevalence of scratchy plastics in the interior and the lack of seat memory presets, the reviewer emphatically states that the e-Niro is not a compromise and they have no regrets about not purchasing a Tesla Model 3, calling the e-Niro a "brilliant car." less
The First Ionity Charger in England! My E-Niro Gets Jiggy With It.
This video documents the author's experience using the first IONITY charger in England, located in Maidstone. While the IONITY network promises h... moreigh speeds (up to 350kW), the author's Kia e-Niro, a front-wheel-drive model, struggled to utilize this potential, topping out at around 57kW. The reviewer notes that this limitation is likely with the car rather than the charger itself, as the e-Niro is not capable of higher charging speeds. The charging process, while functional, lacked contactless payment, requiring app or guest registration. The reviewer found the charger reliable and appreciated the prospect of a unified charging network across Europe, similar to Tesla's Superchargers. However, the lack of detailed charging information in the e-Niro's system (and the absence of a dedicated app for this model) was a significant drawback, forcing the author to rely on the charger's display or guesswork. The reviewer concludes that while the IONITY charger performed its basic function, the e-Niro's charging speed and lack of app integration were disappointing. less
