Here's what happened. This is a new car, leased, with a lot of new technology. It's 100% battery-driven. This means there are fewer parts/pieces to have to worry about, but driving habits also must reflect the limitations of the technology. After a year, we're happy. Suddenly, the primary driver starts seeing error messages regarding the battery discharging due to external devices. We don't know what that means. There isn't much to look up regarding what this error message means. Using the internet, we learn some operators felt the cause was because of a software upgrade, or need for a software upgrade. Others had the car entirely die because the battery died. We erred on the side of caution and made an appointment with the service team, explaining the error message. We relayed that there are no devices, external or not, being used. No phones are plugged in to the UBS port, not that they draw a ton of wattage. No internal lights are on... Nothing. Next day, the car dies. Because the car is locked, we cannot unlock the door using the key fob. We use the physical key to unlock the door, giving us access to the cabin. We try to plug in the car to see if it's the larger batteries which operate the drive chain, but those were charged to over 90% prior to the car completely dying. We jumped the car, which got the car the respond again. We drove the car about 1.5 miles, from our home in Milford to the Milford Kia dealer and drop it off. The next day, the result of the service team inspecting the vehicle was a printout which shows the car's 12V battery is fully charged and operational. Regarding the error messages? Those aren't in the car's memory. No one had any ideas what those were referring to, or worse yet, what could have caused it, so we are unsure of when the messages will occur again. Our sentiment went from "we love the car and the dealer/company" to "we like the car but don't trust it, and the service team did little more than shrug their shoulders at us." Again, I get it. This is a new car and it includes new technology. But we felt like we were viewed as idiot customers who couldn't figure out an EV, or were trying to run a coffee pot and refrigerator off the car, or completely imagined the event. Had this happened while my wife was at work, we wouldn't have been able to jump it without driving an extra 40 miles to Darien. And the result of the shrugged shoulders for why it happened results in us carrying jumpers cables, because we haven't changed how we operate the vehicle but have to assume that, without changing anything, the car will fail again. I don't see this turning into a purchase of a leased vehicle when the lease is up, or quite possibly looking into another vehicle manufacturer when the lease is up. What would you do?
