Kia EV6 ULTRA RAPID CHARGING
Initially I had a problem charging my Kia EV6 at an Ultra Rapid Charger. The charging cable is so heavy that it was not connecting properly with the car. The solution is to support the cable initially until it starts charging then you can let go and it works fine.

This is common with many non-Tesla EVs. Some cars will lock the charge cable immediately upon it being inserted. Others will lock the charge cable as charging begins. In countries with three phase power we use Type 2 cables which have a mechanical lock the car engages. In countries with split-phase power they use J1772 cables that have a lock clip on the outside. The latter can't possibly have this problem by design. Someday the EU will demand software updates to ensure the cables lock first time every time. Assuming absurdly overpowered chargers take off there too. But unless your car has over the air software updates, it may never be fixed in existing cars.

question - I have ordered a Kia Niro EV with a stated range of 440k. That presumes that it is mainly city driving. What would be it's range on a highway drive?
