Reasons for Kia EV6 Wireless Charging Not Working
One reason why your phone is not charging is because it’s not centered correctly. Moving your phone around a charging pad may help. Just move your phone around the charging pad until the charging light turns on. If the light in the center of the charging pad flashes continuously for a short time, it means that you need to disconnect the device. If you’ve got a problem with your charging, try removing your phone and putting it back on the charging pad.
You might have difficulty with your phone case, too. If that fails, check out these common electrical components in your car. If your phone is not charging properly, try removing the protective case that you put on your phone while it’s charging. See if that helps.
Problems may also be with the connector that connects your battery to your charger or the fuse. If you have a handy tool, check out this list of electrical components in your car. If you can reach those parts, you should be able to diagnose the problem.
Fixing Kia EV6 Wireless Charging Not Working
Take off your phone case
Wireless charging relies on two coils that are on the back of your smartphone and a wireless charging pad that’s on the front of your phone. Wireless charging works correctly if the two coils are placed on top of each other and there are no obstructions between them. If you place a thick protective case on your phone, there’s a good chance that it will interfere with wireless charging. Some materials don’t play well with wireless charging.

Some materials don’t allow you to charge your smartphone wirelessly. Take off any that supports wireless charging, and put it in the wireless charger. You’d normally see it charge, but the problem is with your phone case. Get a case that is thinner for the phone that can support wireless charging while you have it in your pocket.Realign the transmitter
The transmitter, which is a small piece that is placed underneath the wireless charging pad, allows your phone to send electromagnetic waves to the receiver on the smartphone that will cause it to charge. There is a circular, engraved mark on the center of the wireless charging pad which is hidden behind your phone. You will need to position the transmitter so that it reaches the area inside the phone where the receiver is located.
If the transmitter does not align correctly with the receiver on your smartphone, the phone will not receive a charge.
