Kia EV charger RFID card reader area is scratched or physically damaged, and cards are difficult to read.

Safety first: This is a low-voltage area, but always isolate power before replacing parts.

• 1. Clean surface: Wipe the reader area with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• 2. Test multiple cards: Try different authorized RFID cards or tags to confirm the reader still functions.
• 3. Replace front cover or reader: If physical damage prevents reliable reading, replace the front cover or RFID reader module as per Kia service instructions.
