  1. You’d think as a life-long Texan I’d have visited Buc-ee’s by now.

    Today was the first time. Was driving home with my sister after visiting family. Figured why not, it’s on the way, let’s charge my car while we’re there.

    Yup, I charged my car at a Buc-ee’s.

    Expensive AF, though.

    Also, is it just me or do their chargers require using the app to stop charging and disconnect? WTF? Could not get the session to stop at the handle like others.

  6. I did the math, and apparently, were I still fueling my Outback XT today, it'd cost about 10 cents per mile. My Niro EV? 4 cents per mile.

    This aligns with my prior estimates as to how much I was spending on "fueling”.

    The price of the vehicle were around the same.

    I also have less maintenance overhead on the Niro EV.

    So, overall, the Niro EV is cheaper.

  10. It seems Kia finally fixed notifications with Connect.

    Sorta.

    For the first time ever, I got charge almost complete and charge complete notifications. Historically, I depended on OVMS to handle this.

    Though, shortly after charge complete, I got charge interrupted. Well, yeah, charge complete means it stops charging!

  14. With the OVMS removed from my car, I can't use it to request my total charge amount for the year. This is something that does get reported via ODB-II, how the OVMS module talks to the car, but Kia does not offer this data anywhere else in their own reporting.

    I'm curious if my $600 EVSE has paid for itself, yet, versus paying for public charging.

  18. With my 12v battery becoming a problem in my Niro EV, I’ve removed the OVMS module. No more logging of what’s been going on, but should ensure Kia can’t point to that as the source of the fault when I go in for maintenance.

    Given the highly limited capability and lack of development, I’m not sure I’ll put it back in, to be honest.

  23. 2024 Kia Niro EV Specs, Price, Features, Mileage and Review
    The EX Touring model, in our opinion, offers the finest value. Along with several other desirable options not found on the base LX model, it has an 18-inch wheel design, a sunroof, fog lamps, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a larger 10.3-inch infotainment display. There is also a full EV model available, which we discuss separately.

  27. It looks like a local Tesla Supercharger near me has been upgraded with the CCS1 retrofit. This Supercharger is way closer to me than the nearest Electrify America.

    I might check it out this weekend. Though I likely won’t need a charge so will probably leave the stations alone.

    Given there’s already people complaining about cheaper EVs using high power chargers, I expect to catch grief when I do use it.

  31. After a weekend of driving fairly long day trips, I’m once again reaffirmed an EV is good for me. Also, it shows that deploying more public chargers would be a huge benefit.

    Yesterday, my car actually reached 100% charge while far away from home. All free charging.

    Today, no interstitial charging because no public chargers were conveniently located. But that’s fine, ended the trip with 69%, so plenty of range.

    Home charging covered the gaps.

  35. So, after going on a lovely holiday, then deciding it wasn't working, @pyoor's Kia Niro EV decided to pretend it was working in front of the Dealership... but...

    It didn't last for long.

  40. I got my Kia EV in January and it came with 3 years to use 500kWh of free Electrify America usage. Because the nearest station to me is 14 miles away, and there’s not much else, I hadn’t been using this.

    So it’s September, now, and I used my first EA charger while I was in Denton. Also my first ever DCFC session.

    9 months to finally get around to this. Was it needed? No. I used it because it was there and free to me.
