Morning all,
Yesterday I tried to charge the eNiro to 80%. I had 105 miles left and after about an hour (having been told it would take 4.5 hrs) It told me "charging complete as configured" 51%!! and 125 miles.
To cut a long story short I had to keep pressing the 'charge button on the app and eventually it was cutting out about every 2 minutes. I checked that the car agreed with the app, Tick. I rebooted the charger.Tick.
Any ideas? I have been bounced from pillar to post round Kia and have written to their 'charging dept' & the charger manufacturer (SYNC EV)
Fault with App or fault with car? Next time I have to charge I will make the charger 'dumb' i:e by-pass the app. if it then works it is the app at fault. if it still doesn't work I assume the car is faulty.
:roll: Ho-Hum what fun!! :twisted:
