Is there a specific reason you purchased a compressor? Doesn’t the Kia mobility kit come with a compressor. I am pretty sure you can use it without the sealant so it doesn’t damage your sensors and it plugs into 12v outlet.
Had to use the OEM compressor this morning for a flat. Same thing, I didn't want to use the 'gunk'. The compressor worked actually surprisingly well! The tire shop I went to told me the gunk will damage your tpms sensors if you leave the stuff inside the tire for an extended period of time. It could also damage the aluminum wheel cause it's a caustic material. For those that need to get to a tire shop in a day or two the gunk should be fine. Remember the less time it's in the tire the better
My 69yr old mother is looking into buying the ioniq5 and her biggest issue is that they don't have spare tires. I reminded her that she hasn't had to change a flat tire in over 30yrs and that a simple compressor can keep air in her tire till she gets it fixed. The only thing it couldn't fix is a complete blowout which is pretty rare with modern tires. I was nice and didn't remind her that since she's almost 70 she isn't strong enough to jack it up remove the lugs anyway🤷🤣
Flat tire already, unbelievable! Don't know if you have *_Discount Tires_* in California but they will often fix punctures like that for free. Looking forward to your future EV6 owner experience reviews
Thank you for your videos, great job. Question: did your V2L adapter come with the vehicle or did you have to purchase separately? I'm expecting delivery of a Yacht Blue GT-Line (at $5k over MSRP) mid-April, and the salesperson says it's not included. FYI - you were fortunate it was only a screw and not a New England pothole that destroyed the tire. This has happened to my Veloster Turbo twice, bc of low-profile tires. I "will" find a compact spare that will fit the lug pattern / tire diameter and take it, along with scissor jack & socket/ratchet, on any long trips away from home. Hopefully the sensors & control electronics won't have a meltdown if I run briefly with a temporary compact spare.
George, yes, the V2L adapter came with the car. Mine is a GT-Line AWD... I believe it should be included with the GT-Line trims... Good luck with your new car - I'm excited for you!
We can clearly see the compressor got a 12v plug, so the costly V2L wasn't necessary, also the car comes with a mobility kit , inside is a compressor with a 12v plug.

In Spain (I think all Europe, in fact) EV6 includes an emergency kit with a 12V compressor.

👍😀
Have a compressor that plugs into the 12v outlet in the front of the car … just have to make sure the engine is running when you use it

@@THEDRIVERDOWNLOAD my Wind AWD with tech package came with it as well. I believe they all come with it.
My Light didn’t

Not costly V2L. Comes with the vehicle.
my ev6 also has flat tire too I live in san Francisco do you recommend any places
So sorry to hear - I unfortunately am not familiar with the tire shops in SF...I used Google to find mine...
The V2L is like $500, that’s pretty costly
It comes with the vehicle though. I know I paid for it when I bought the vehicle..
Ohk, I got a light it didn’t come with it. But I found one on EBay a while back for around $200
We should get run flat tires since they didn't include spare tire
