    @jojo22, thanks for the heads up, it’s definitely something I’ll keep an eye on as it’s the only car near budget that gives me the full list of features. @kezo, I hope all went well and you’ll be back to 2 functioning eyes soon, otherwise the pirate jokes may be necessary😁

    It went well but the surgeon didn’t put the istent injects in to keep eye pressure low and was the reason for cataract surgey as part of the op (not has I had catarcats!). His due to secondary glaucoma caused from blunt trauma #(cutting tarmac) and it wrong to offer me the proceedure, but went ahead with cataract. Bit pissed really!! Personally, I wouldn’t write off the EV3, as it can be charged at 6.6kWh and doesn’t impact 50kWh AC or DC charging. Also the fact kia is looking into it and it seemed to effect the earlier cars in the main and effected could later models sold have been dealer stocks of earlier models and theres no concrete evidence the autum on (2025) ev4 suffers the same issues when lookng on kia forum – perhaps the biggest reason, I wouldn’t reject would be the protection bubble of motability?

    Sorry to hear about your eye woes and hope thing soon improve

    Its a relief to read your thoughts on the Kia ev3 and I agree with everything you have said

    Till now I had no idea that I could tell the Ohme to lower its charge simply by selecting model not listed and then manual charge rate input

    That makes a world of difference and for others that need to do the same it also says do not then select max charge on the Ohme app as this will overide you own particular charging rate settings

    Of course as you say this may not even be an issue going forward as newer shipped cars should be fine

    Just nice to understand the workaround if/when ever needed

    Thanks Kezo top man
