OBD-II cable

The Kia e-Niro have one CAN-bus available on the OBD-II port: D-can. You can use the standard OBD-II to DB9 cable from Fasttech.

In case you want to build your own cable, here’s the pinout:

A simple approach is to buy an OBDII (J1962-M) pigtail, and solder the DB9-F connector end appropriately.

Configuration

TODO. Configuration is quite similar to the Kia Soul, so please check that out. Please use the Web based configuration!

Estimated Range

Currently, there is no known way to get the estimated range directly from the car, so the estimated range is calculated by looking at the consumption from the last 20 trips that are longer than 1 km.

12V battery drain

OVMS will eventually drain the 12V battery, but steps have been taken to minimize the drain. However, if you are going to leave the car for a few days, it is recommended to unplug OVMS. OVMS will send an alert if 12V drops under 12V alert threshold. See 12V Calibration section.
