Cautionary tale of level 2 charging
I've got first gen Niro and live in a warmer climate. Recently I installed a level 2 charger to have faster charge times and take advantage of excess solar generation. However, my battery capacity started tanking fast. Dropped about 20% in one month of level 2 charging. So, just be careful for those with a first gen Niro. I'm abandoning my level 2 charger and exclusively using level 1 now. I guess the first gen Niro have air-cooled batteries while 2nd gen get liquid cooling so I'm thinking it's just heat damage. Even took it to Kia dealer to check the cooling system and they said it was operating fine. Not really much I can do about it at this point, just sucks that I've lost that additional range forever. Anyone else have something similar happen?
