Kia Electric Range

According to Kia, this message is most commonly displayed if any of the following conditions are present:

• The EV battery’s charge is too low
• The temperature of the EV battery is too high or too low
• The temperature of the electric motor is too high.

The smart money suggests you should report this to the dealership either now or at your next service. That way, the Kia technicians can figure out what happened and how to prevent it happening again.

Along with the warning on the dashboard, the car will also limit its performance to protect major systems. That’s why it refused to accelerate and would not go beyond a certain speed.

The Kia EV5 arrived in Australia in October, 2024.

The Kia EV6's charging port is located at the rear of the vehicle, at the small panel located just below the right tail-light. There are three ways of charging the Kia EV6 – two at home methods, and one in public. It is recommended that owners of the Kia EV6 purchase a three-phase 11kW at-home wall charger box. These retail for anywhere from $800 to $2000, depending on the manufacturer and the power supply, with additional charges of 21 to 36 cents per kW, depending on your energy provider. Additional costs can be zero if you’re hooked up to a renewable source such as solar. All up, it will deliver a charge time of seven hours. Alternatively, owners can charge their Kia EV6 at home using a conventional 240V powerpoint which takes about 33 hours. A public charging station of 50kW will deliver a zero to 80 per cent charge in 1.6 hours, while a 350kW charger will see the time it takes drop to 18 minutes. Cost is dependent on location, whether it is a peak period or not, and what the charger’s capacity is, though as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 for a full charge.
