ICCU Failure. It's been replaced by Kia under warranty. Initially Level 2 charging failed multiple times. Luckily mine didn't die on the road, but it very well could've like others reported.

In November 2025, after charging car overnight, backed out of driveway and began to drive. Within 100 feet, received red error message and tone: “Stop vehicle and check power supply”. Stopped the vehicle and got it towed to Kia dealer, who confirmed that the ICCU had failed, despite the car having received the software patch purporting to fix the problem. The ICCU was replaced under warranty within a week. We were fortunate that this occured very close to home, without safety consequences. Ten minutes later, the car would have been travelling at 65 on a highway with no shoulder for long stretches, which would have been very dangerous. This was a certified preowned EV6 with less than 9000 miles on it. The 12 volt battery was brand new, having been replaced 3 months earlier with an AGM battery as a possible preventative measure for this issue.

The ICCU fuse blew. As I was driving, the car began to lose power. Fortunately I was able to pull into a parking lot before I lost all power. It's the same issue as the recall SC327Y1 from NHTSA, which occurred although the software update had already been performed previously. The dealer is replacing the ICCU and ICCU fuse under SC327Y1 after inspecting it. I did receive a warning as I was driving that the car was low on power.

The component that is seeming to fail in most KIA EV6's is the ICCU assembly. This is the component that failed in my KIA EV6 GT. Part# 364-1XFA0AQQK Also the ICCU Fuse, Part#375F2-GI040QQK FUSE-HIGH VOLTAGE. My safety and everyone around me was put at risk when the vehicle loss power due to this ICCU failure. As I entered the highway the vehicle starts loosing power. The vehicle gradually lost power more and more over time. I was able to make it to an exit driving at approximately 20-30 mph, and was able to drive it back to my house where it was then towed to a dealership. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. I have the invoice to prove the repair of the ICCU. Yes there were warning messages on the screen when the ICCU failed. First, there was an audible "POP" which was the fuse blowing first. Once the fuse blows, it slowly kills the 12v battery and the car then looses power and you're no longer able to drive the vehicle. At that point, the ICCU is blown. The error message showing on the screen was: "CHECK ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM". Then the display starts blinking red and displays "STOP VEHICLE AND CHECK POWER SUPPLY". I have all the screenshots of the error messages the vehicle displays. The text message that is attached to this complaint is the service tech informing me that the 12v battery that they charged me $366.66 for, DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. Yet they still charged me for the battery. This dealerships service department had my car from January 21, 2026 to March 4, 2026. A total of 42 days. At the time of the text message, it had already been past one month. I would like to be reimbursed for this cost.

On April 24, 2025, I plugged my Kia EV6 into my 48-amp hardwired ChargePoint HomeFlex at 7:26 PM. Around 10:30 PM I heard a noise outside but did not investigate. At 12:25 AM I noticed I had not received a “charging complete” notification. The Kia Connect app showed the vehicle at 74% and no longer charging. The ChargePoint app was unresponsive.\n\nThe next morning I found the charger’s 60-amp breaker had tripped. After resetting the breaker and rebooting the charger, the EV6 would not start charging and displayed no “Charging started” or “Charging unsuccessful” message.\n\nI then attempted to charge using a portable Tesla Level 1 charger on a 120V GFCI outlet. The EV6 briefly announced “Charging started,” but the dash showed no charging data. The outlet’s GFCI breaker tripped. After resetting, the breaker immediately tripped again when reconnecting the vehicle.\n\nI attempted to drive to a nearby DC fast charger. Upon shifting into drive, the vehicle displayed “Check electric vehicle system” and entered power-limited mode (would not exceed 20 MPH). I returned home. While backing into my driveway, the vehicle triggered a red alert with “Stop vehicle and check power supply.”\n\nThe vehicle was towed to a Kia dealership. They diagnosed a failed ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) and high-voltage fuse. The ICCU recall issue is known for this model. Repairs took over two weeks due to parts delays. The ICCU and high-voltage fuse were replaced.\n\nThe ICCU failure also damaged my home ChargePoint charger, which required replacement under warranty
