2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line — question: Apartment charging without a dedicated garage outlet

QuietBuyerCommunity StarterJan 8, 20262024 Kia EV9 GT-LineHouston
2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line, about 22,000 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? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. 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 — question: apartment charging without a,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

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. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Fair point. Counterpoint: Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Kia EV9 charge sessions. That's where I'd start. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

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. I'd do that before spending real money. Did the worksheet show tax yet? I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

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. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Checking again after work.
