    neutral wire on 240V EVSE circuit?

    EVSE PILOT signal (to control current of the onboard charger in the car) need the EARTH (0v GND) because it's a 12v signal (GND is at the EARTH conductor). POWER wires is not the point, main contactor control this.

    Power when off

    Use a powerbank USB instead (8x 18650 = 28Ah) . it can charge when the car is ON ... during the drive. and no, the High-tension battery are only ON (high power contactor for the 400v DC) with key inside the car.

    Kia found OBC unit & battery cells to be faulty!

    energy draw may be a discharge by the A/C and opened windows ... very simple = 4~6kW in static mode. :D 1 night in a (big) garage and it's done with a security cut off from the BMS because no-one shutdown the car when the security warning for low range appear.

    Kia found OBC unit & battery cells to be faulty!

    write a letter to Kia in your country with the copy of email. Kia will be call the local tech ... to plan the ship of a new battery pack (or separate blocks) like this : http://www.mykiasoulev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=813&p=7015#p7009 (bad cell, voltage is right like you) and...

    Kia found OBC unit & battery cells to be faulty!

    you see ? this is a real idiot ... :shock: 30,2% for SOH is a defect battery pack. Kia SK-Innovation battery pack is under warranty for a deterioration below 70% of SOH (new pack have 110% capacity). you have a 30,2% of SOH. warranty. quick !!! no discussion !!!

    Kia found OBC unit & battery cells to be faulty!

    I think it's SOC=30% and SOH=95% ... no ? :mrgreen: (with this voltage of cell, it's more like that) 95% in SOH is 25,6kWh. and a Deteriotion of 15% of the battery pack. but SOC or SOH are incoherent with the voltage of cell ... you have a defect battery pack.

    Sudden Range Issues

    perhaps a DC-DC converter in fault (or the GPS cluster that it doesn't go in deep sleep) ... too. but 3 drop to 0v for a starter ACID battery and she is dead. so replace it with full charge before ... and survey the battery during 1 month (1 time per week, test the voltage and note on TXT file).

    Kia found OBC unit & battery cells to be faulty!

    the local tech of Kia service don't understand the electric car. they need to plug the car to outlet and let the android Kia tablet with OBD-adapter to save LOG of the charge and the kWh/Ah counter after a discharge and during a charge to follow the evolution of voltage of all cells. it takes...

    Yes, a dead cell. Rise 4,15v ... but drop to 3,90v instead of staying at 4,15v like all 95 others cells (96S2P battery pack).
