Frequently asked questions
Can I misfuel a Kia EV6/EV9?
There is no petrol or diesel tank. Risk is limited to adding the wrong fluid to the washer reservoir or other caps — never use the charging port for anything except charging.
What if petrol is poured into a Kia EV6/EV9 charging port?
Do not charge. Isolate the vehicle, contact Kia roadside assistance or a high-voltage-qualified workshop. Contamination of HV components is a serious safety issue under COSHH and DSEAR controls.
Does wrong fuel affect Kia electric vehicle warranty?
Liquid contamination of electrical systems is not a manufacturing defect and is typically excluded from warranty. Document remediation by a qualified technician.
Is AdBlue relevant to the Kia EV6/EV9?
Not applicable — this model has no diesel exhaust fluid system.
