   My 2024 Kia EV6 is experiencing a total failure of the 12V charging system and requires manual jumpstarts to operate.

The factory-installed tires are rated by the manufacturer for approximately 50,000 miles of tread life under normal use, so reaching the wear-out point on the rear tires alone at roughly 39% of that rated mileage is well outside…
