2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line — apartment charging without a dedicated garage outlet

TowEnthusiastCommunity StarterJun 28, 20262024 Kia EV9 GT-LineLos Angeles
2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line, about 14,500 miles. I can charge at work sometimes but not at home. For people living in apartments, what combination of public charging, workplace charging and occasional fast charging has actually been practical?

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 Kia EV9 so service can see what you saw. That's where I'd start. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. On the 2024 Kia EV9, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. Then you'll know the next fork. On “line — apartment charging without a dedicated,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Checking again after work.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Kia EV9 charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 Kia EV9 in Los Angeles with 14,500 miles. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Did the worksheet show tax yet? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Cleared nothing. I want service to see the alert on the 2024 Kia EV9 first. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Kia EV9 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. Any freeze-frame data saved? I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
