We traded a chevy bolt ev on the Niro ev. Niro is our 3rd ev, nissan leaf being the 1st. We liked the bolt's sportiness but the front seats were uncomfortable, and the recalls were becoming annoying. We drove the mach-e, but didn't wait for a special order or want to go though the recall teething problems again. No rebates on the tesla. Checked out the Niro when a shipment came in, and bought it the same day. We already had a level 2 charger at home from the Bolt ev. we've owned it 3 months and still happy!

Traded in our 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid for the 2022 premium. Kia has removed the memory seats in the new model and side warning lights that were on the previous model. Front collision/parking warning lights are included but side warnings (like navigating in a tight garage) can be added after market for about $600. No explanation from the dealer why these amenities were removed other than "it was a corporate decision." Power trunk latch has still never been offered. UPDATE: We've had this car for a little over a year. That's when we found out the Kia Connect "Ultimate" package that came with the car has been disconnected. No more remote start, no more remote locking, but if you're willing to pay $150 - 200 a year you can keep the services you bought with the car. After paying $40,000+ we thought Kia had enough of our money but they want an annuity after the sale.

Range problems with the Kia Niro 2022

When I bought the car last month and drove it home it had 277 miles of range on it. That was awesome, but after a week it dropped to 239 miles of range on a full charge in eco mode which to me still wasn't too bad, because that is what Kia Advertised in the first place. I just got to 3k miles and the range had dropped to 222 on a full charge. So in less than a months time my rang has dropped 55 miles!!!! I think the update made it worse? I am taking it back to Kia so they can figure it out. It isn't cold where I live so that isn't a factor. I drive during the day so that isn't a factor. I use regenerative braking, keep air in my tires, everything I need to do to get the most range out of my car but I can. It's so frustrating really.

Our Niro has been easy to live with so far. Unless you consistently need over 200 miles of range or plan to drive 75-80 mph for long distances, it's solid, efficient, and surprisingly quick. Cold temps hurt range as does continuous use of climate control. Got ours Oct. 2021 when nobody wanted it and gas was $2.25. Now we drive it as often as we can unless we need to tow or drive on long road trips. Use level 2 charger installed at home and can charge from 5% to 100% in about 8 hours at 7.5 kw/h. For my wife's 50ish mile round trip commute she averages 3.5-4 kwh depending on temp and conditions. Expecting better range again as the weather warms up. Normally set it to charge to 70-80%. Most recent 100% charge showed 235 mile range estimate at 47 degree temperature. If it was at 0% and I charged a full 64kwh at $0.13 it would cost just over $8 at home. At Electrify America chargers it costs $0.31-$0.43 per kwh but we seldom DC fast charge. On short road trips we've used Plug Share app to find hotels or other places we could charge for free. Looking forward to trading for an F150 Lightning when contacted about my reservation. It'll be much less efficient but way more capable with awd, good towing capacity, and similar overall range to our Niro. For over 15 years we've only owned Toyotas (2 Highlanders, a Camry, and 2 Corollas) From now forward, we'll always have an EV and will trade our gas Highlander for a hybrid or phev when/if prices stabilize. Once battery charging speed and range improve, we'll only have EV's. Right now is the golden age if you have time to wait for charging or can afford an EV with high range (like Lucid). Chargers are seldom used when we pass them.

Overall wonderful / remarkably stupid electronics

Wonderful, peppy driving experience; good driving range; practical body design. But this rig has some big and completely unnecessary flaws. The first you will experience is that when in reverse the car issues a VERY LOUD beep like a Home Depot forklift. It will turn all eyes your way and wake up your neighborhood. Really? There are three more serious flaws that have to do with battery management -- the lifeblood of an EV: 1) there is practically no information provided in the Niro User's Guide on the proper care and feeding of EV batteries. It's up to the owner to search the Web, hoping that Tesla batteries and Kia batteries should be treated the same; 2) the display that gives estimated mileage constantly re-calibrates itself based upon your recent drives, which means the driver can NEVER LEARN TO TRUST what the gauge is telling him. Tesla doesn't try to be so stupidly smart. Instead they offer you 3 estimates - based upon past 15 minutes of driving style, past hour, past day (or something like that), giving you a much better sense of your expected range for your current trip. 3) EV batteries should not be charged to 100% unless you are planning to start your drive right away, which makes it important to be able to set the time of charging completion to match your intended departure time for a long trip. But the Niro EV delayed charging system is USELESS. The algorithm it uses starts the charging at the start of the next cheap electric rate period, regardless of the intended departure. Really?
