Kia ev6 SoC updates totally wrong

Bug Reports

In the premium version of ABRP on Android, with Android Auto, but also when only connected via Kia Connect, automatic SOC updates are totally outdated, sometimes hours off… also, when manually updating, the app resets to the SOC it knows (which is totally old), even when set to manual. When on a long trip this renders the app unusable, because it will arrive with negative SOCs at its planned charge stations….

What a pity.

Where does this happen?

    Hi

    We have experience that the SoC can be wrong when you use Android auto and another live data source at the same time. Can you try to use one at a time and see if you get the correct SoC? Please read how to disconnect live data from Android auto Live Data via Android Auto

      Hi, I tried, but that doesn't help, SOC is still not updated, but very unreliable. So yesterday during a trip I would have emptied my battery on the highway if I would have followed the ABRP directions… fortunately, the built in navigation is reliable, albeit not much configurable…
