I *may* have a solution to the dead 12V battery problem. Years ago I had a battery changed at Halfords, and they put a gadget in the cigarette/accessory socket. I asked what it was, and they said it powered the car while changing the battery so the immobilizer wasn't messed up. I had a hunt, and it turns out its a thing. You can in theory power the car via the 12V interior socket. I had a link, but youtube doesn't like them. I thought, this is right-up-your-street and worthy of a deeper look. I hope it leads somewhere useful. 👍
The one thing that could stop that device working is that the lighter socket becomes isolated from the rest of the electrics once the car is off,probably via a relay or something so that would prevent the ability to back feed power into the 12v system.
One thing that might work is plugging 12v into 2 of the pins of the OBD port. When they take demo cars on road shows for new models i noticed they had something plugged into the OBD port. The car must be powered off that otherwise the 12v would be flat as a pancake from everyone playing.
Yeah. A modern EV is certainly running the voltages around the car in the very different way to the old-chassis-is-ground approach. And all those voltages are converted to different levels depending on where the power needs to go. But that said, the use of 12V does feel a very old-school car thing, so the 12V socket may simply go through 12V battery and its fuse. Where’s the Haynes Manual when you need it? 😂
Further to the stolen cars issue. My neighbour had their Jaguar Ipace stolen off their path.The security video shows the thief walk up to the door and it's open almost instantly.Then some fiddling around the steering wheel and then driving off. The whole video(and there is a pause before the action starts) is 1-02 mins.All under a security light and camera at 10-30 at night. SCAREY!!! So no cars are immune.
Brian, a general question if you or your listeners can answer... How would a passenger bring an EV6 to rest safely in the event of driver incapacity? * The answer I would imagine, would be dependant on the scenario whether on highway or in town, Which lane it was in etc. Related questions include *does the driver monitoring do anything when not in cruise? Like sound an alarm? * Could the passenger select iPedal, turn on lane keeping or indicate left and hope that the car will come to the left lane or hard shoulder safely? With the park brake slow the car? What can the passenger do to cut the power to the motors? I remember noting that the EV6 did less well in driver incapacity tests in that if warnings weren't heeded it just gives up and let's go the car whilst other cars came to rest in the lane they were in. Little is advertised by manufacturers how to stop modern cars in an emergency but having tested my Peugeot 308 ICE car at low speeds, the stop start button will kill the engine if held down for a few seconds and the park break will start to apply breaking while held up. I wouldn't want to try the latter too often I suspect it will wear the system out too quickly!
The short answer is i don’t actually know. But I think it’s a very good idea for a research video. So I will add to my production list. As for regen paddles it depends what mode of regen mode the car is in. If in manual regen in theory one of the paddles should bring it to a stop. If in iPedal mode it will only stop if it detects a car in front so if approaching a traffic island it would run over it. Leave this one with me. I find the whole idea very intriguing.
I have just seen some information on RUclips on this week’s EV3 Tech Day in Korea. This claims that the battery energy density on the EV3 is 22% higher than the Niro EV. This need for greater energy density might explain why Kia has chosen a NCM rather than a LFP battery.
Was the EV6 supposed to get a navigator update in June? Is it now the case that when the new Kia EV6 models have been released and moved to the new software platform, the development of the old software ended there. Seems like a slightly worrying development. I have an EV6 GT-Line 2023 AWD. Is there any information about the update schedules?
It's actually included in this episode you are commenting on. All Maps updates have been put back to August and the US. As long as Hyundai Group cars are being released with Gen5W head unit we will still see development. Forthcoming Hyundai Casper/Inster has our head Unit

That’s funny because i wondered about that as a solution not knowing that it could actually be a thing. Thank You.
No link turned up,sometimes they do sometimes they don’t. No rhyme or reason.

There used to be a note over the graphics on the Canadian kia map update site that said update in July, that note disappeared a few days ago. 😢
I think we're all in the same boat now

Yeah could be. Knew there would be a good reason
Hi mate, do you have information about heat pump on EU/ UK ev3? Whether is stock like ex30 or optional 👍🏽
Optional
