FIRST TIME EV OWNER EXPERIENCE

The Kia Niro EV, or e-Niro in Europe, is a great car but considering the price paid there is something under the hood that Kia should have done to make the premium feel of the car more complete. In this episode the problem is solved with hood struts bought directly from China. I also answer viewer questions by explaining what some of the things are that live under the hood of electric cars. If you ever wondered why an electric car has a 12 Volt battery, or how an electric cars heat the cabin, and more, find out by watching this video. ***NOTE: One thing I did not do in this video, but strongly recommend, is to put grease in the ball sockets of the hood struts. This will prevent premature wear and noises in the long term. ===== EV-olution Links ===== ***NEW - If you feel like buying me a coffee... https://ko-fi.com/ev_olution Web site: https://www.ev-olution.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ev_olution_inevitable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ Where I bought the hood struts: Kia Niro: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000858841842.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.70124c4dnWMA8v I have not bought the ones below, nor have I tried them, but they are from the same manufacturer.

Breathe cleaner air in your car by replacing the cabin filter once per year and save lots of money by buying a compatible filter and installing it yourself, instead of having your dealership do it.

All versions of the Kia Niro, not just the EV, have a common problem with the backup camera, in the rain and in the winter, the camera gets coated in crud and becomes useless. The Camwipe in my video solves the problem! *** IMPORTANT: Be sure you remove your Camwipe if you use automatic car washes. DISCLAIMER: I was not paid for this review.

You can easily update the Kia Niro EV touchscreen software in Canada and the US! It is easy to get the latest user interface, map software, and firmware updates. Just follow the steps in this video. My 2019 Niro EV had the original head-unit software from April 2019, and I wanted to get the latest version for a refreshed interface and better performance. Fortunately, Kia’s map software Web site was updated with a new policy that makes the software 30$CDN + shipping instead of the old 250$US price! Even better, if you own a 2020 Kia in Canada, then it is free to download! * UPDATE 1: There is a new site for getting the updates for free, update.kia.com and update.hyundai.com. Please see my channel Community post: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxZPuP9sV4NP9h_Qu54AaABCQ * UPDATE 2: I missed an option when making this video.
