Why is my Kia Niro's battery not charging while driving?

I have a Kia Niro plug-in hybrid and have noticed that the battery does not seem to charge while driving. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Hannah, there could be several reasons for this issue. One possibility is that your charging cable is not properly connected to the charging port. Another possibility is that there is a problem with the battery itself. I would recommend checking the connections and if that doesn't solve the issue, I suggest taking your car to a certified Kia technician for further diagnosis.

Hi there, I had the same issue with my Kia Niro and it turned out to be a faulty charging port. You may want to check with your dealership to see if there have been any recalls or known issues with the charging port for your specific model year.

Hello Hannah, have you recently updated your car's software? Sometimes software updates can affect the battery charging functionality. If that's the case, try resetting the system or taking it to a dealership to have the software checked and updated.
