I finally went with a used 2023 Kia Niro EV Trim 4 - 24k miles - in green from a Kia dealer. It came with around 3 years 11 months of Kia warranty remaining plus 12 months MOT, so that gave me a lot more confidence going used.
The dealer also provided a battery SOH report showing 100%, which was another big factor in going ahead with it.
Also decided to go with an Ohme charger for home charging after comparing a few options.
I moved from a manual petrol car to EV for the first time, so there’s definitely a learning curve, but I’m really enjoying it so far. Currently getting around 4.2–4.7 miles/kWh in city driving, which honestly surprised me.
The comfort, visibility and practicality seem great for family use.
Would love to hear any realworld tips/tricks from existing Niro EV owners on:
- getting the best possible range
- battery care habits
- regen braking settings
- motorway efficiency
- any useful hidden settings/features
- charger scheduling tips with Ohme
Thanks again.. 🙂
