2022 KIA EV6 — Complaint #1939320
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:CHARGING:MODULE:ONBOARD (OBCM) filed October 29, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1939320 (ODI reference 11552504) concerns a 2022 KIA EV6 and was filed on October 29, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 1, 2023. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:propulsion system:charging:module:onboard (obcm), one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same KIA EV6 cohort independently describe similar electrical system:propulsion system:charging:module:onboard (obcm) failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 KIA EV6 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The vehicle throws a "charge interrupted" error on any Level 2 AC chargers and stops charging within few minutes of starting charge. The charging occurs only for 10~15minutes and immediately stops. The issue has been persistent since 3-4 months now and consistent on every charging session. I have to unplug and replug the charger multiple times to be able to complete charging. This also happened to me on a DCFC 150kW charger as well.
