Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Thieves steal more than 70,000 pints worth of Guinness from depot in Cheshire
Police say two lorries were driven into industrial estate in Runcorn and attached to trailers holding about 800 barrels The famous tagline “Guinness is good for you” applies only when the drink is bought and paid for, police have said, after thieves made off with more than 70,000 pints worth. Officers believe two lorries were driven into a depot in Runcorn on Monday, each attached to a waiting trailer holding a combined total of about 800 barrels before being driven away.

The heat pump will definitely help but the slim HVAC system that was pioneered in EV3 was more efficient than my EV6 by miles.

EPA range is less than WLTP Range we have on EU and UK. Would be interesting to see what WLTP will be if we get AWD in UK. In real world my EV3 has never gone below 300 Miles in Winter even with no heat Pump and constant HVAC use. This summer GOM has mostly been over 400 Miles.

That's what I have in my outgoing GT Line S and I would give up range for all of the good stuff in a heart beat. I'm losing the HUD in the EV2 but won't actually miss it that much.

The Life of Brian @mateybloke.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
EV3 has a Snow mode which can help in FWD situation. with proper Winter tyres. It's really down to efficiency. You lose quite a bit of range with the AWD

Is that the part label from the replacement?,I see the part number at the top,mine is from January 2025 is 3641 50EAA0, current ICCU software version is SV1-E4-IES 09 RG00,version 9 of ICCU software

The Life of Brian @mateybloke.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Agreed. What might help us all now is the availability of the EV3 in the USA now. Then we will have full access to complaints data and all TSBs & recalls information that is currently hidden from us.

Thank you, I did cover Spanish ICCU failures end of 2024/early 2025 and didn't know it was still an issue,I will have a look at the article later. Muchos Gracias

I don't have a phone that's compatible so the only knowledge I have is the less complex NFC Card. I would guess,remove digital key access on old phone in Kia App,remove in car menus then register the new phone and start again. I can ask the question in Sunday's Kia Electric News if it's any help.
