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.

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.

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!

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.
-
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.
-
Better yet, why can’t Kia figure out 12v battery maintenance…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Haven’t charged in 2 weeks. Should be well within my new energy contract that brings the cost way down.
-
Finally figured out how to use the manual key on my car. After over 6 months of owning it.
And confirmed I can use it to lock up the car while it runs utility mode.
This effectively gives me a “dog mode” though I have no intentions of doing this. But this running mode with the doors locked may be useful in the future.
-
If you have a Kia or Hyundai with that little orange light on the dash that everyone calls the aux battery maintenance indicator, it appears to indicate a lot more than that. This pops on while the cooling system triggers when the car is off and not charging.
It also appears to vary in intensity.

There's a file that contains metadata for the update which correctly names the new file, so I suspect this won't have any impact on the update process.
Currently in the process of getting the update onto a USB flash drive. All 36GB of it.
-
I'm pretty sure I found evidence Kia's car software build process may not be entirely automated. They have a couple of files prefixed with "extra_package_" but in the latest release, one of them is now "extra_pkg_". An automated process would not have suddenly changed that.
-
This console used to be glossy. This is the sun hitting it. Imagine this being mirror reflective with that same sun hitting it. This is why I spent $300 on interior matte coating. I had other glossy surfaces coated to match.
-
Today I drove 118 miles. I used my first public EV charger. It happened to be free to use and provided 7kW of level 2 charging. It was there for about an hour. I got home with 54% battery remaining.
I’ll admit, that’s pretty great and makes me feel a lot better about range issues. While not the 250+ miles range I’m told to expect, it’s still completely usable in a major metropolitan area.
I even drove home with a drum kit.
Also the car is already back to 80%.
-
So it appears the rain sensor possibly runs on 5V. Not a good rail for me as I need 12V. I was tapping off the GPS apparently, which had constant 12V available.
The vision module (camera, compute, etc) has 12V and some other rails. The 12V is only on when the car is on. I tapped off of this.
Hopefully the vision module doesn't mind an extra 300mA or being sipped.
But this does mean no more parking mode.
-
Well, I've confirmed my dashcam is the major drain on the aux battery in my car. Looks like I have to give up parking mode since Kia's aux battery management is basically non-existent.
-
At this point I think it’s best for the health of the battery in my phone to disable wireless charging in my car and not use it. And since I have to wire up anyway, I’ll just pull my Wireless CarPlay adapter out. It sucks, but that’s how it goes, I guess.
