- T esla is migrating to CCS2 in Europe. This is not the same as CCS1 in the US and Korea. In Korea T esla is migrating away from the European Mennekes compatible nozzle to the US proprietary system. Chademo has the advantage that it is the same everywhere. The new S oul EV will be CCS1 in the...

- The 57kWh sticker comes from a version 2 battery pack. In the video he mentions that version 2 has different coollant connectors, but maybe there are other differences too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3G8JGsEjPA The version 1 packs are no longer sold. Version 2 costs $12,740.00 see -...

- It is a shame we no longer have lab tested battery data from the AVTA. This is the sticker seen on the Bolt EV battery from the YouTube video But I have driven the Bolt EV. And this is what I saw after driving 470.6km.

No. The K ia N iro EV will use SK Innovation battery cells. Kia has always used usable capacity in the past. The marketing fluff we are seeing about '64kWh' and 238km range should probably be ignored for now.

Sorry. My comments about the future Nissan Leaf are not reliable. The source was a very informed poster in a Korean chatroom. The context was when the '64kWh' versions of the Niro and Kona would be available. I know that the "60 kWh" Bolt EV has an actual usable capacity of 60 kWh. That the...

- Thanks for finding out the details on this. I too had noticed the lack of updates on the AVT site this year. It is a real shame. This was the best site we had for comparing the actual battery details.

Agreed. That's a great link. Thanks. Further info on the Hybrid 12V battery. Here in Korea the I oniq Hybrid was released last year with the 12V battery at the back (seen in the graphic at the left). But in 2017 they have released the new version without the 12V battery, (seen in the graphic...

The I oniq BEV has a normal 12V battery at the front. It is the I oniq Hybrid that has the 12V battery hidden at the back.

- How did the reviewer figure that out so quickly! From a YouTube posted a year ago in Jan 2016 - Hyundai I oniq Hybrid Launch Review (English Subbed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmSdHewNoow

The on/off button doesn't work well on the KW902. Try using an OBD extension wire with a switch. This also solves the possible problems that the KW902 has. 1/drawing power when the car is off. 2/having an insecure password. Tonsiki OBD 2 Cord 16 pin M/F Male to Female Right Angle Diagnostic...

This is an excellent thread. Would be great to see a YouTube Video of the next battery upgrade.

Seems Lotte Rental has just made a big order for the Ioniq EV. 6000 cars. That's the entire production run for the next 4 months. http://view.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2016111514560501608
