Vehicle Type: KN
The Kia e-Niro shares the same platform with the Hyundai Kona and Hyundai Ioniq FL (Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh).
Kia e-Niro and Hyundai Kona are the same vehicle in terms of battery specs.
The Hyundai Ioniq FL (aka vFL second generation) differs from the e-Niro and Kona only by the lower battery capacity of 38 kWh and maximum range, both of which can be configured via the web UI.

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:
| J1962-M | DB9-F | Signal |
| 4 | 3 | Chassis / Power GND |
| 6 | 7 | CAN-0H (C-can High) |
| 14 | 2 | CAN-0L (C-can Low) |
| 16 | 9 | +12V Vehicle Power |
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.
