      I think the current administration is trying to kill the EV industry to prop up oil investments. Old rich men have too much already invested.

      I rode in a KIA EV9 this past weekend and was really, really impressed. The Lyft driver absolutely raved about it. He had over 80k miles on his EV9, and said the only maintenance costs over those 80k miles (aside from one set of tires he considers consumables) was an $185 cabin air filter.

      And the 3rd bullet point the author left out: They have major issues and recalls and most buyers know that. (And it’s a Kia)

      Was considering an EV9 when we were in the market for a 3rd row SUV last year, but could almost never find one on a lot and we’re told to expect about $70k if they got some. F that Kia!

      My kia ev9 is one of if not the best vehicle we have ever owned. Only had it 8 months and 7k miles but it’s been great so far.

      How about Hyundai and Kia fix it damn ICCU problem and perhaps more people would consider buying your car. 

      For those who don’t know what that is: The ICCU in some Kia and Hyundai vehicles is a part that manages charging between the car’s main battery and the smaller 12-volt battery that powers electronics. In some models it can fail, which may cause warning lights, a weak or dead 12-volt battery, or even reduced driving power.

      Just got a Toyota Bz and absolutely love it. Don’t think ill ever go back to gas for everyday around town driving

      I have an EV9 and *absolutely love it*

      EVs aren’t a good fit for everyone. For my circumstances it’s amazing. Best vehicle I’ve ever had.

      Couldn’t be because nobody trusts the brand due to the massive known and ignored engine flaws that caused a truly astounding class lawsuit

      Idk about this. KIA EVs are all over the place here in LA. A year ago you’d see one or two in your commute. I don’t think this journalist is good with stats.

      17.5k miles, two years in, zero issues. I love mine. I hope they keep iterating on it, better navigation software would be really appreciated.

      I have an EV6 and it uses regen braking. Very cool concept and actually reduces brake wear

    18. pyro_pugilist on

      I’ve had my Kia EV6 since mid 2023 and haven’t had anything bad to say… Other than it’s BS that I would have to pay $70 a year to use my phone app features.

    19. Redararis on

      Here in greece kia evs are too expensive compared to hyundai or byd ones. their brand is not as special to ask for thee prices.

    20. sl0wjim on

      we have a niro phev and it’s fucking great. perfect road trip car for a family of 3

    21. Tutorbin76 on

      This headline really needs to lead with „In the US“.

      Kia is doing just fine everywhere else.

    23. Another_Slut_Dragon on

      Pssst. Hey… Hyundai. Come closer, I need to tell you something. Come closer. Closer. Lean right in there.

      FIX THE ICCU FAILURES YOU FUCKING MORONS!!!!!!!

      You had your chance Hyundai. We knew your ICE engines and transmissions will always be shit. But you had turned over a new leaf with the electric cars. Look at these things, they’re super cool and you guys turned over a new leaf with amazing electric cars.

      Until all of a sudden they weren’t reliable, and you left customers sitting for months waiting for a new ICCU. You had the opportunity to show that you had gotten better by issuing a recall and giving everyone a new one. This would have proved you were aiming to be a global leader. And what did you do? Like usual, you fucked everyone over and left them holding the bag.

      I have a Kia plug in hybrid Niro and love the car! I have no idea why people are not talking about Kia Niros. They are a great compact SUV hatchback that I average 60 mpg on! I bought it with the partial government incentive, which made it 27,000 with tax. I will never get a brand new car off the lot. This was the one time it made so much sense and with 60k miles in the car there has not been one issue at all. Kia builds good cars now

    25. Glad_Lychee_180 on

      I have an EV9. 16k miles. It’s suddenly getting 70 miles on a full charge. Take it in this week. Hope I don’t have to rough up the service folks.

    27. NotAPreppie on

      So, time to replace my wife’s Mazda CX-3 with a Kia EV (to complement our existing Bolt EUV)?

    29. lurkering101 on

      Sales are down because supply is down. Subsodies went away and their US EV factory had hundreds of employees with invalid visas deported.

      The response has been pivoting to hybrids while restaffing.

    30. bigmikeylikes on

      I’d get one in a heartbeat if they weren’t so expensive that’s the problem.

    31. TheLuminousEgg on

      When I was shopping for an EV, I specifically went to a Kia dealership first based on a recommendation. The dealer said ,“naw, we don’t do EVs“.

    33. LordFunkenstein on

      I bought a 22 niro ev 2 years ago and it’s my favorite car I’ve ever owned.

    35. AvocadoYogi on

      > First off, I’d be remiss not to mention that the entire EV industry is seeing a contraction in the U.S. market right now. The $7,500 federal clean vehicle tax credit expired at the end of September, effectively making the U.S.-built EV6 and EV9 $7,500 more expensive and putting a damper on federally subsidized leases.

      But yet still the author is still comparing last year’s numbers to this year’s numbers for clicks. It’s downright idiocy. I am so tired of folks sharing the dumbest articles.

    36. theoreoman on

      The new car manufacturers priced their cars with subsidies in mind now they’re too expensive. If expect the prices to drop now that the subsidy finished

    38. ouatedephoque on

      It’s weird knowing that the Ioniq5 is one of the least reliable cars on the planet.

    39. sudogaeshi on

      I would be driving an EV6 except for
      a) ICCU
      b) Kia dealers that I would have to engage with in the event of ICCU failure

    40. Jimbo415650 on

      Federal Tax Credits ended for EV. Possibly had impact to the KIA brand and others. People buying decisions may have changed to different EV brands or just went with ICE vehicles

    41. scots on

      Maybe they are losing money having to replace motors on half their vehicles before they go past powertrain warranty expiration.
