Consumer Description

I was driving my less than 1 year old, only 10,000 miles Kia EV6 First Edition when I got an error message to 'Check Vehicle Electric System'. After about another 2 miles I got a warning to "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply." As I attempted to find a safe place to stop, my vehicle started throttling my speed down to only 20mph (I was on a 55mph road). I was able to pull off and into a parking lot, but when I turned the vehicle off, it was completely dead and would not restart. Note, the battery was charged to 83% at the time of this incident. I had the vehicle towed the Kia Service Center at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. After 5 days, they informed me that the ICCU had failed. Per their website, the Integrated Charging Control Unit, or ICCU, is a newly developed integrated charging system by Hyundai that charges both the high-voltage and spare batteries, essential to allowing for V2L (Vehicle to Load) feature. It has now been 20 days since the incident and Kia has no idea when a replacement part will be available.
