    I purchased my EV6 in April 2023, after 2 months, my charging abruptly stops, I will restart it and it fails minutes later. I have taken the car to the dealership 2x and they are unable to find the cause, I did further research and found an update that was applied on the second visit. This did not resolve the issue. I am having to drop the charging level down to "reduced" to get by. There are no warning messages on the dash or on the computer, at least none that Kia could find. There isn't a recall for this either. My concern is the safety of the car, due to the high voltage used to charge the car.

    This car advertises that it is capable of fast charging on a level 2 charger up to 50amp. I purchased a level 2 charger capable of 50amps, but it causes the EV6 to overheat and stop charging. The dealership installed TSB ELE-283 but this does not fix the problem and is not an acceptable fix. I have owned this car 5 months, and it has been to the dealership service department 3 times for failing to charge. Kia has admitted that their dealerships don’t have the capacity to charge at the higher speeds, so they cannot replicate the issue and just keep giving me my faulty car back. While the expectation is that the car can charge at 48 or 50 amps, typically it fails at 40 amps and users are forced to reduce to 36 amps, which is not what was advertised. The Kia website advertises 11kW on-board charger (OBC) for Level 2 recharging from 10-100% in 7 hours, which is unachievable due to constant overheating. I have a ChargePoint home flex charger set at 48amps.

    While using I-Pedal mode the brake lights do not engage unless fully off of the accelerator. Even a large deceleration force does not engage any of the brake lights when coming to a full stop quickly. This is very dangerous as drivers behind cannot tell you are decelerating quickly.
