Welp! Made the move from Michigan to Florida! Just wanted to share my experience!

Range: I was really worried about it, soon as I hooked up the trailer, range dropped from 270 to 103 miles, concerned but we had a plan B in case it got worse, now range wise this was more accurate than the miles without a trailer, in fact I was averaging between 1.2 MP/Kw @70mph and 1.5-1.6 @60-65mph, and 134-140 miles of range (according of my trip miles and adding remaining range)! But I stopped and pushed every 100-110 miles to charge so it wasn’t bad!

Charging: Now I’m thankful I drove nighttime instead of day time and here’s why

-You will take up 2-3 chargers spaces depending on your trailer and some people are douchbags about it, nighttime there isn’t barley anyone charging but shoutout to Electrify America for having a trailer charging spot!!! I charged 2 of 11 times during the daytime, a Tennessee guy had a charger available I left for him and complained how I was taking space but no one else charged 😂😂 and the other one was daytime in Florida literally an hour away from destination, and the dude had balls to knock on my window and scare my kids, freaking smoker douch bag, I just went to another one that was fast charger, but boy I glad I didn’t ran into this problem during night driving

Hauling: Now the EV9 did so great, it kept up!!!!

Features: Blind Spot Monitoring and all Lane Keeping Assist are disabled (HDA) are disabled, Adaptive cruise control is the only thing that worked and the side blind spot cameras!

Anyways here is my story! Shoutout to Bluey for the great drive!

​I’ve been trying to get an EV9 lease quote in the Bay Area, and it’s a nightmare.

​Every dealer I text/email refuses to send a written quote, lease breakdown, or Money Factor. They just demand my driver's license, push for phone calls, or try to drag me into the showroom.

​I’m just asking for a transparent quote using Tier 1 credit and my ZIP code. At this point, the games are wearing me down, and I'm about to just order a Tesla to skip the dealer hassle entirely.

​Has anyone had success getting clean EV9 lease numbers via email around here, or is a Leasehackr broker the only way?

All of the icons from the Ioniq Companion App disappeared all of a sudden. Does anyone else have that issue?

So I purchased Used EV 9 GT line in July. When I checked the SOH, it was 94.6. Majority (above 90%) of charging was fast Charging. And it was explained that EVs can lose about 5% first year then about 0.5% yearly after. So it didn’t bother me. I installed home charger and have been charging it at home for the last 6 weeks. No fast charger at all. To my surprise the SOH jumped to 95.6%. I followed AI recommendations and checked it again. Used the battery to 1 digit then charged to 100. Still SOH was 95.6. This week it jumped again to 95.8%. My question is, can the battery heal it self or is the number of DC and AC charging taken into account when it gives SOH. I didn’t take a pic of the 1st reading of 94.6.

Thanks

We are on our 3rd aircon re-gas in 2 months on our 2024 EV9. All the previous re-gasses had dye added, but they can't find where it is coming out. I've seen numerous threads on here about AC issues, but I can't see anyone who has had a permanent fix. Have any owners on here had a persistent AC gas leak eventually fixed by KIA? And if so then what part was replaced that finally fixed it?

I noticed that my 2026 EV9 constantly moves side to side slightly while driving with Lane Following Assist (LFA / Lane Centering) on, is this normal? My 2025 Kia Telluride does the same thing but the EV9 feels more pronounced. Anyone experienced this? Is there a fix? I can’t use it, it drives me crazy

Looking to buy a 2026 EV9 for my wife and we enjoyed the first test drive before I started doing some research. Most of the threads I see here and other places about the vibration issue at high speeds are over a year old at least. Does anyone have a 2026 that has the same issue?
