    There is the option to look for the closest charging stations in the Kona. My SEL does NOT have the built in navigation system and I have not received any updates at all for my car.
    Recently, I checked for local charging stations on the Kona and the list of charging stations included some stations that were added months after I purchased the car. How was that charging stations added to the list if the Kona does not receive OTA updates??

    To be clearer, because the other thread wasn't ... updates are sent through
    a dedicated Sirius XM channel, which works even if you don't have an active
    XM subscription. Bluelink / cellular-data or FM radio is not part of the picture.

    I can confidently state this because that is my current situation. No Bluelink
    or cell-data connection at all -- per this fix -- and chucking all the Sirius offers
    spam snailmail unread. The XM radio is down to about three active channels,
    proving that I don't have a subscription, and yet the list of nearby charger locations
    still shows up -- but only after the XM antenna was reconnected.

    Has anyone compared how current/accurate Hyundai's charging station is compared with, say, Plugshare or other sites?

    thank you my issue has been solved
     
  9. Bad! If you want a as current "list" as possible, use Plugshare!
     
  10. Thanks for pointing this out. I believe they were a spam account and have now been banned.
