Windshield wiper sucks

The wiper will stuck during snow storm and ice. It is very dangerous that you have to drive without wiper. I have to stop several times on the highway to clean the windshield and wiper, still not working.

The EV9 provides everything today’s traveler needs. Amazing appearance, comfort, safety and capability just to name a few. Oh and did I mention the technology is awesome. At first it is pretty overwhelming considering all of its features, but that’s not to say as soon as you know the basics you can operate it with ease. This vehicle is a dream to drive and you will take it down the road with ease. Electric travel is something we all will have to become accustomed to, but it’s the way of the future. We must leave fossil fuels in the past.

This is my first EV and I really like it. Considering it is the entry level model it has a lot of features and a nice ride. I wanted the second row bench seats and the light was the only model that met that need. My only regret is that it only gets 230 miles for a full charge. It's great for local driving but since they only want you to charge it to 80% the range is too limited for longer trips.

Really disappointing

My new KIA was in the shop 16 days in the first month and stalled in the middle of the road when the driver hit the brakes to avoid a crash. The brakes worked well but the car would only idle after that. It also broke our home Telsa charger when we tried to use the converter. The dealer could care less. We have also had a very hard time finding chargers that work.
