Dodge Journey key fob not working – causes and how to fix it

The remote keyless system in Dodge Journey allows the driver to conveniently lock and unlock the vehicle with the press of a button. When the key fob stops working, it quickly becomes an inconvenience to manually lock and unlock the vehicle. In some cases it can even leave you stranded if the vehicle can’t detect the key and won’t let you start the engine.

The most common cause of key fob not working in Dodge Journey is dead battery. But the remote key can also stop working due to worn buttons, poor battery contact, water damage, defective key fob, receiver module issues, signal interference, dead 12 volt battery, and unpaired key requiring reprogramming.

1. Dead battery in key fob

Dead battery is the leading cause of key fob not working in Journey. Usually there are signs of weakening battery before it gives up. If the remote was working previously, but the range of the remote was gradually decreasing until it ceased to function, this indicates that the battery was wearing out.

Replace the battery

If the button cell battery in the key fob of Journey is replaced incorrectly or a battery is unsuitable, it can damage the vehicle key. Only replace drained batteries with new batteries in the same voltage, size, and specification. Make sure the battery is facing in the right direction when inserting it.

Key fob not working after replacing the battery

When purchasing a new battery for the key fob of your Journey, keep in mind that the battery may be sitting on the shelf for a long time. Therefore after replacement it may not work, or may not last that long. Try purchasing the battery from a store where stock moves fast. If you still can’t get the key fob to work after verifying that the battery is healthy, your key fob issues may not be due to bad battery.

Starting the engine with dead key fob battery

If your Journey has push button start/stop feature, your vehicle may not start due to weak key fob battery and a ‘key not detected’ alert message may be displayed in the instrument cluster. Don’t worry, you can still start your vehicle, the immobilizer is controlled by a passive transponder. Passive means, among other things, that the transponder in the key does not need its own power source.

Touch the start/stop button with your key fob and then start the engine. If it doesn’t work, then look in the owners manual for exact location of key fob placement, as it may vary depending on model.

Use spare key: You can try starting your Journey with its second key. It will also rule out any other problem with the first key, for example, water damage.

How long does the key fob battery last?

Depending on how often you use the key fob or remote control of your Journey, the battery should last between two and four years. This is assuming the new battery you installed is healthy and its use by date is many years away.

2. Poor battery connection

The battery inside the key fob of Journey has metal retaining clips that hold the battery in position and completes the circuit. If the clips don’t have any tension, it can cause contact issues and the remote may not receive any power. Make sure the battery is firmly placed and does not move around when you shake the remote. Also make sure all the battery contacts are corrosion and dust free.

3. Water damage

If your Dodge Journey key fob has taken a bath in the soapy water of the washing machine after you forgot to take it out of your pants pocket, water damage is very likely.

Water resistant, not waterproof

Your Journey key has rubber seals which prevents the water from getting to the electronic chip inside. A splash of water or brief exposure to light rain should be fine, but exposure to excessive amount of water like submerging the key in the pool can cause the water to penetrate the seals and damage the chip. Submerging the key in ocean water at the beach can be much more damaging to key fob electronics due to highly conductive nature of salt water.

But my key fob survived water exposure?

If your Journey key fob survived a wash cycle, or a deep bath in the ocean or pool water, it doesn’t make the key fob waterproof, it means you got lucky. Exposure to excessive water increases the risk of water damage, so you shouldn’t make this a habit.

What to do in case of water damage?

If your Journey key fob stopping working after exposure to clean tap water or rain, immediately remove the battery and clean the electronic component with paper towel and let it dry fully before putting back the battery. In case of exposure to salt water, or soapy or dirty water, it is recommended to clean the chip with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner. If the key fob still doesn’t work after cleaning and drying, the chip is probably fried and you will have to buy a new key.

4. Dead 12 volt battery

The remote keyless system and the central locking system in Journey require the 12 volt battery to be in healthy state to function properly. If the 12 volt battery is dead or if the electric current has been interrupted due to corrosion on the battery terminals or the ground connection, all on-board electronics will stop working.

In this case, you will have to manually unlock the door of your Journey with physical key. Also, the electrical accessories (e.g. headlights, fan, and infotainment system) will not function or may function poorly, and the engine will not start. Check the 12v battery and its connections.

5. Signal interference

Journey remote control signal can be disrupted by objects, poor weather conditions or transmitters on the same frequency band close to the vehicle. The remote key may work when you’re near the vehicle, but may not work from a distance. In case of severe interference, the remote may not work at all.

Interference signals can be caused not only by neighboring radio masts and towers, but also by unprofessionally installed satellite systems. A large part of the radio interference is caused by defects and aging effects in electrical devices and radio systems, which lead to unwanted emissions, radiation and repercussions on power and communication networks. Your Journey key fob should start working again when you leave the area of interference.

6. Reprogramming required

In rare cases, the remote key of Journey may stop working due to pairing issues. The key can be reprogrammed with an OBDII scanner. You may also be able to program a key by following a few steps, an original key is typically required for successful pairing. The instructions should be mentioned in the owners manual. If you fail to do it yourself, you may have to visit an authorized dealer for reprogramming of the key.

7. Defective key fob

If your Journey key fob stopped working after you dropped it on the floor, you may have damaged the internal chip. Or, if your key fob just stopped working one day out of the blue, in rare cases this could indicate a faulty key fob – assuming you have tried everything to fix the issue e.g. battery replacement, reprogramming and the spare key fob works.

8. Faulty receiver module

Dodge Journey has a remote keyless system receiver that receives radio frequency signals from the key fob. If none of your key fobs work, and and you can’t reprogram the keys, it is possible the receiver module has developed a fault.

You may have to perform further diagnostics to identify the faulty. The keyless entry antenna could be damaged, or the module is just not communicating with other modules on the vehicle. In these cases an OBDII scan tool can be used to verify if the commands are being transmitted and acted on by the security module.

9. Electronic immobilizer fault

The immobilizer is an anti-theft security system that prevents the engine from being started and the vehicle from being moved with an unauthorized vehicle key. A fault in the immobilizer system can prevent your Journey from being started. You may also see a warning light with key symbol or key not detected message in the instrument cluster.

For vehicles with an ignition lock

There is a chip in the vehicle key. The chip automatically deactivates the immobilizer if a valid vehicle key is inserted into the ignition lock. The electronic immobilizer is activated automatically when the vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock.

For vehicles with a starter button

There is a chip in the vehicle key. It is used to automatically deactivate the electronic immobilizer when there is a valid remote control vehicle key in the vehicle interior. The electronic immobilizer is automatically activated as soon as there is no valid vehicle key in the vehicle.

The engine can only be started with a genuine vehicle key that is coded correctly. You can obtain coded vehicle keys from an authorized Dodge dealer.

Reset the system

If the key fob is not working due to a glitch in the keyless entry system, it may be possible to restore the functionality by resetting the keyless entry system in your Journey.

There isn’t any button or option to reset the keyless entry system in Journey, but you can reboot all the on-board computers by disconnecting the 12 volt battery for a few minutes. Remove the cable from the negative terminal of the battery first, then from the positive terminal. With the battery disconnected, press the horn button a few times and turn on the headlights to drain out all the residual electricity from the system. After about 15 minutes, reconnect the battery in reverse order: positive cable first, then negative cable.

Use OBD2 scanner for diagnosis

Since Dodge Journey is equipped with on-board diagnostics (OBD), a fault diagnosis can provide initial indications of where the malfunction is located. This method will be especially useful when diagnosing a faulty remote keyless system receiver module.

To begin troubleshooting, you must first connect the diagnostic tool to your Journey. The OBDII connector is usually located under the dashboard. With the tool connected, turn on the ignition. Most diagnostic devices then ask for some information about the vehicle. It is important that you enter this 100% correctly, otherwise the result of the search may be inaccurate. In addition to the vehicle make, model, and engine type, you usually also have to type in the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Since some OBD codes are manufacturer-specific, the scanner will be able to give you more accurate information if you enter more details about your Journey.

Conclusion:

There are many reasons why your Dodge Journey key fob is not working. When looking for the reason, you should start with the most obvious cause that is easy to diagnose: dead battery, which you can replace in a few minutes.

So buckle up and prepare for an eye-opening journey through the 28 new popular cars that might just be more trouble than they’re worth. Your ideal ride awaits, but it’s not on this list.

Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X has made quite an impact in the electric vehicle market. However, there are a few reasons why some prospective buyers might want to think twice before purchasing this specific model in 2024.

• High Price Tag : The Model X is known for its expensiveness. While this can be justified by its advanced technology, other EV models may offer similar features at a lower price.
• Falcon Wing Doors : The unique Falcon Wing doors are a distinctive design choice, but they come with their share of practical issues, such as dealing with tight parking spaces or potential extra maintenance costs.
• Availability of Alternatives : The EV market is rapidly growing, and the number of options for consumers is increasing. There are many new models to consider, some of which may provide better value.
• Potential for Decreased Popularity : As the market becomes more saturated, the Tesla Model X could lose some of its popularity among consumers.

Range Rover (Most of the Land Rover Cars)

The Range Rover, along with most Land Rover models, might not be the best choice for buyers in 2024 due to a few significant reasons. Let’s highlight the top four reasons to reconsider buying these popular cars this year.

• Reliability issues : The Land Rover range, including the notable Range Rover, has faced reliability concerns in the past, with complaints about electrical and mechanical problems, potentially causing expensive repairs and inconvenience to owners.

• Lack of innovation in the electric segment : While other car manufacturers are investing in electric vehicles (EVs) and pushing the boundaries of development, Land Rover’s electrification journey, although present, might not be as competitive as other brands in the industry. This might make their cars less future-proof as the market gravitates toward EVs.

Kia Stinger

The Kia Stinger is a popular car, but there are a few reasons that might make potential buyers reconsider purchasing one in 2024. Here are four top reasons it must be avoided:

• Price: The Kia Stinger’s price tag might not justify its performance and features. There could be better alternatives in the market for a similar budget, which provide a better driving experience and features.
• Fuel Efficiency: With the current trends towards electric vehicles and increased fuel efficiency, the Kia Stinger’s gas consumption might not be the most economical choice in the long run.
• Resale Value: As the automotive market continues to evolve, the resale value of the Kia Stinger might not hold up against its competitors, making it a less attractive investment.
• Maintenance Costs: Some reported maintenance costs for the Kia Stinger are higher than average, so long-term ownership could become expensive.

Buick Encore GX

The Buick Encore GX is a compact crossover SUV that may not be the best choice for car buyers in 2024. There are a few reasons why you might want to avoid purchasing Buick Encore GX :

• Limited electric offerings: With the automotive industry moving towards electrification, the Buick brand has announced plans to offer an electric vehicle in 2024. In comparison to competitors, the Encore GX may be at a disadvantage due to its limited electric and hybrid options.
• Underwhelming performance: The Encore GX lacks the power that car enthusiasts might expect from a vehicle in its class. With competitors offering engines with higher horsepower and better acceleration, the Encore GX struggles to keep up.
• Subpar interior quality: The interior materials used in the Buick Encore GX are not up to par with its price point. Competitors in the same segment offer a more upscale and comfortable experience, making the Encore GX less appealing for those seeking a higher-quality cabin.
• Smaller cargo space: The Buick Encore GX offers limited cargo space compared to other compact crossover SUVs. This can be a considerable drawback for families or individuals who need extra room for luggage and other belongings.

Ford Explorer

The 2024 Ford Explorer is a popular vehicle, but there are a few reasons you might want to stay away from buying it in 2024.

• Fuel Efficiency : The Ford Explorer lags behind its competitors in terms of fuel efficiency, which could lead to increased fuel expenses.
• Safety Concerns : Some reliability concerns have been raised, including potential issues with acceleration and braking systems; this could compromise the safety of the car.
• Competition : There are a surge of alternative eco-friendly vehicles on the market, such as electric and hybrid cars, which offer better environmental performance.
• Resale Value : The Ford Explorer’s resale value is expected to be lower compared to some other popular cars in its class, making it less attractive in the long run.

Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra, a popular compact car, has some concerns that potential buyers should be aware of in 2024. We have listed the four main reasons to reconsider purchasing the car, without making exaggerated or false claims.

• Lower Resale Value : The Elantra has been known to have a lower resale value compared to its competitors, which may lead to a higher cost of ownership in the long run.
• Limited Electric Options : The growing demand for electric vehicles has surpassed the offerings provided by Hyundai’s lineup.
• Lagging Technology : The Elantra’s in-car technology, such as infotainment and driver assistance features, may not be on par with other options in the market.
• Performance : Concerns related to the car’s driving experience, such as acceleration and handling, may make other models more appealing to potential buyers.

Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler has been a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts, but it may not be the best option for everyone in 2024:

• Fuel Efficiency : The Jeep Wrangler’s fuel consumption is known to be relatively high. This could lead to increased expenses in the long run for potential buyers, especially with rising fuel prices.
• Ride Quality : While the Wrangler excels in off-road conditions, its on-road performance might be subpar. The vehicle could be less comfortable compared to its rivals when driving on highways and urban areas.
• Safety Features : The Jeep Wrangler might not be the best choice for those who prioritize safety features, such as advanced driver assistance systems and collision avoidance technologies, which are becoming increasingly important in modern cars.
• Price : The base price of the Jeep Wrangler can be relatively expensive compared to other vehicles in its segment, making it less budget-friendly for certain buyers.

Mitsubishi Mirage

The Mitsubishi Mirage is a small, entry-level car that has attracted some attention in recent years. However, there are several reasons to consider avoiding this vehicle in 2024, as it might not be the best option for buyers looking for reliable transportation.

• Poor Performance : The Mirage is powered by a tiny 1.2L engine producing meager power, which results in sluggish acceleration and an unimpressive driving experience. In comparison to other cars in its class, the Mirage’s performance falls short.
• Low-Quality Interior : Many car enthusiasts criticize the Mirage’s cabin for its hard plastics and lack of features. Even as a budget car, it’s crucial to have a comfortable and modern cabin, and the Mirage fails to meet that expectation.
• Subpar Safety Ratings : Safety should be a top priority for any car buyer, and the Mirage has disappointing safety scores. It has a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating which is concerning when compared to peers with higher scores.
• Limited Practicality : Although it’s a small car, the Mirage’s trunk and rear-seat space are inadequate. Finding versatility in an economical vehicle is important, but the Mirage has limited cargo and passenger capacity to accommodate daily needs.

Jeep Gladiator

The Jeep Gladiator, a popular pickup truck, might not be the best choice for car buyers in 2024. Here are suggestions to consider before making a purchase decision:

• Fuel Efficiency : The Jeep Gladiator is known for its poor fuel economy, which could be hard on your wallet with the rising fuel prices.
• Payload Capacity: The Gladiator’s payload capacity is lower compared to its competitors, which might be a significant drawback for those who plan to use the truck to haul heavy loads.
• Price : It has a higher starting price than other mid-size trucks, making it a less budget-friendly option.
• Off-road Capability Trade-offs : While the Gladiator is known for its off-road abilities, this comes at the expense of on-road comfort and handling.

The Lincoln Aviator is a popular luxury SUV that has caught the attention of many car enthusiasts in 2024. However, there are a few reasons why potential buyers might want to reconsider purchasing this vehicle.

• Fuel Efficiency : The Lincoln Aviator struggles with fuel efficiency, which can make it a less environmentally-friendly option.
• Cost: The Aviator’s high price tag may deter potential buyers seeking a more budget-friendly luxury SUV.
• Maintenance : Some owners have reported high-cost maintenance issues with the Lincoln Aviator, requiring more out-of-pocket expenses over time.
• Interior Quality: Despite its luxury label, the Aviator’s interior has been criticized for not living up to expectations in terms of quality and features.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has long been a popular choice among SUV enthusiasts. However, in 2024, there are a few reasons you might want to think twice before making this vehicle your next purchase.

• High Cost : Due to more than 1,500 licensed plants involved in its production, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has a whopping price tag of about $91,064. This can make it quite a hefty investment for the average buyer.
• Masculine Design : The Jeep Grand Cherokee features a front grill and design that’s often seen as masculine in nature. While this may appeal to some, it may deter others who are looking for a more inclusive vehicle design.
• Fuel Efficiency : The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a relatively low fuel efficiency compared to other popular 2024 SUV models. This could lead to higher gas expenses over time.
• Environmental Impact : With a strong focus on sustainable and eco-friendly choices in 2024, owning a car with lower fuel efficiency might not align with the values of environmentally conscious individuals.

Honda Pilot (2016 model)

The Honda Pilot 2016 model is one to stay away from in 2024, and here are the top reasons why:

• Outdated Safety Features : As mentioned in this report , vehicle safety has greatly improved by 2024, and the 2016 Honda Pilot lacks many advanced features found in newer models.
• Fuel Efficiency : With the promotion of new energy vehicles, like electric and hybrid cars, in China and other countries, the 2016 Pilot’s gas mileage falls short when compared to these environmentally-friendly options.
• Resale Value : Since the Pilot is an older model, its resale value has significantly decreased, making it a less appealing investment for potential buyers.
• Maintenance Costs : Lastly, with an older vehicle comes potential for more maintenance and repair expenses, which can be a burden on your wallet.

Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV that has been popular in the past, but there are a few reasons you might want to hesitate before purchasing one in 2024.

• Fuel Efficiency : With the growing importance of environmental sustainability, the fuel consumption of the Armada may be a concern. As a large SUV, it’s not known for its fuel efficiency, which could lead to higher long-term costs and a larger carbon footprint.
• Size : The Armada is a very large vehicle, which may not be suitable for everyone. Drivers who mainly commute in urban areas or have smaller garages could struggle with parking and manoeuvring.
• Shift to Electric Vehicles : The global trend towards electric vehicles is expected to continue, and by 2024, many consumers may prefer to invest in an electric or hybrid vehicle. It might not be ideal to buy a traditional, gas-powered SUV like the Armada.
• Long-term Resale Value : With the ever-changing automotive landscape, purchasing a large, gas-powered vehicle like the Nissan Armada could affect its resale value in the future. As more people shift towards eco-friendly vehicles, demand for traditional SUVs may decrease.

Hyundai Tucson (2015-2017 models)

The Hyundai Tucson is a popular compact SUV, but the 2015-2017 models are to be avoided for the following reasons:

• Unreliable transmission : The 2015-2017 Tucson models have known issues with their dual-clutch transmission, which can lead to frustrating driving experiences and potential costly repairs.
• Poor fuel economy : The Tucson’s fuel efficiency during these model years is below average for its class.
• Limited standard features : These Tucson models have fewer standard features compared to competing SUVs, making it less of a value for potential buyers.

• Price : The initial cost of the Pathfinder HEV is significantly higher than comparable non-hybrid vehicles. This could deter potential buyers from considering this option when purchasing a new car.
• Maintenance : Hybrid vehicles, in general, may require more frequent and specialized maintenance than traditional gas-powered vehicles. This can add to the overall cost of ownership for the Pathfinder HEV.
• Resale Value : As new vehicle market trends continue to evolve, the resale value of hybrid vehicles can be unpredictable. This uncertainty might make some buyers hesitant to invest in the Pathfinder HEV.

Dodge Caravan

The Dodge Caravan, a popular minivan, should be added to the list of cars to avoid in 2024 due to a few significant concerns. Below are the top four reasons:

• Fuel Efficiency : The Caravan has been known for its low fuel efficiency, which means that owners may end up spending more on gasoline compared to more fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Safety Ratings : The Caravan has received subpar safety ratings from major organizations, which raises concerns about the overall security of the vehicle and its passengers.
• Outdated Design : With newer, more innovative vehicles on the market, the Caravan seems to have a dated design, making it less attractive to potential buyers.
• Competitors : The Caravan faces stiff competition from other minivans offering more up-to-date features, better performance, and improved design.

Hyundai Sonata (2011, 2017-2018 models)

The Hyundai Sonata from the 2011 and 2017-2018 models may seem like a tempting choice at first, but it’s essential to consider a few crucial factors:

• Performance: The engine performance of the Atlas Cross Sport might not meet the expectations of some drivers, especially when compared to its peers.
• Interior quality : Though the vehicle boasts a spacious interior, the finish and materials used may not be up to par with competing models in its segment.
• Fuel efficiency: As most automakers are moving towards electrification, the Atlas Cross Sport’s fuel economy might not stack up well against electric and hybrid alternatives.
• Market alternatives : In 2024, car buyers will likely have a plethora of other attractive new vehicle options to choose from, potentially offering more value for money, performance, and eco-friendliness.

• High Price : Finally, the Cadillac XT4 Sport has a higher price tag compared to similar models on the market. This factor alone might discourage potential buyers.

Kia Telluride

The Kia Telluride is a popular SUV model, but there are a few reasons that might make potential buyers reconsider purchasing this vehicle in 2024:

• Expensive pricing : The Telluride’s price may be higher compared to other SUV models in its category. Budget-conscious buyers might want to explore more affordable options.
• Fuel efficiency : Given the increasing focus on sustainability, the Telluride’s fuel efficiency may not meet the expectations of environmentally-conscious consumers.

The Subaru Crosstrek is a popular compact SUV among drivers, but according to some sources, there are reasons you may want to avoid purchasing this model in 2024:

• Fuel efficiency concerns: Although Subaru claims to offer fuel-efficient vehicles, some analysts believe that the Crosstrek’s actual fuel efficiency falls short of the competition, causing potential buyers to look elsewhere.

• Outdated design: In comparison to its competitors, the Crosstrek’s design hasn’t been significantly updated in recent years. This may make it less appealing to those looking for a modern and cutting-edge vehicle.
• Lack of features: Finally, the Crosstrek seems to lack some popular safety features and technology options available in other models. This may lead potential buyers to opt for another vehicle that offers more amenities for the price.

The Ford F-150 is a popular pickup truck with a long history of success in the market. However, there are a few reasons why someone might want to reconsider purchasing this vehicle in 2024:

• Evolving market & competition: With the increasing shift towards electric vehicles, the Ford F-150 Lightning – its electric counterpart – may outperform the traditional F-150 in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
• Higher maintenance costs : As technology evolves, the cost of maintaining older models, like the internal combustion engine (ICE) powered F-150, could potentially increase, making them less desirable compared to newer, more advanced electric pickup trucks.
• Resale value decline : The increasing popularity of electric pickup trucks may lead to a decline in resale value for older traditional pickups, like the F-150, as shoppers continue to favor environmentally friendly options.
• Regulation changes : As governments continue to implement stricter emissions regulations, owning a traditional gas-powered F-150 could become less practical and even costly in some regions.

Tesla Model Y

The Tesla Model Y is a popular electric vehicle that many consumers are considering in 2024. However, there are a few reasons why one might consider avoiding this particular model.

• Availability : Due to high demand and production constraints, the Tesla Model Y may be difficult to find or have long wait times for delivery. This could leave potential buyers frustrated and waiting longer than anticipated for their new vehicle.
• Price : The Model Y is one of Tesla’s more expensive offerings. As a luxury electric SUV, it may not be the best option for budget-conscious consumers who are looking for an affordable EV. Other options such as the Model 3 might be a more wallet-friendly choice.
• Reliability : Although Tesla has made significant strides in recent years in improving the build quality of their vehicles, some concerns still remain. Some drivers have reported issues with the Model Y’s paint and trim, as well as occasional software glitches that can affect the user experience.
• Charging infrastructure : While Tesla’s V3 Supercharger network is expanding, it may still not be as extensive as desired in certain areas. This could lead to longer wait times and potential inconveniences for Model Y owners who rely solely on the Supercharger network for long trips.

Ram 1500 REV

The Ram 1500 REV is a popular vehicle, but there are some reasons to consider avoiding it in 2024. Here are the top four reasons:

• Fuel Efficiency : The Ram 1500 REV has been noted for its lower fuel efficiency, which may lead to higher fuel costs for the owner over time.
• Environmental Impact : This vehicle has higher emissions than many of its competitors in the market, which can contribute to increased air pollution.
• Depreciation : It’s not uncommon for the value of vehicles to depreciate over time; however, the Ram 1500 REV may have a faster depreciation rate compared to other models.
• Safety Features : While the truck does come with some safety features, other vehicles in its class offer more advanced features for a similar price.

The Kia EV9 is one of the latest additions to the growing electric vehicle market. However, despite its attractive design and seemingly advanced features, there are a few reasons you might want to think twice before purchasing this particular model in 2024.

• Limited Range : The EV9 has a relatively lower driving range compared to some of its competitors in the same price segment. This may prove inconvenient for long trips or daily commutes in areas with limited charging infrastructure.
• Slower Charging : The charging speed of the Kia EV9 is not as fast as other electric vehicles in the market. This could lead to longer wait times when you need to recharge your car at public charging stations.
• Lack of Innovative Features : While the EV9 includes some standard features found in other electric vehicles, it lacks any standout innovative features that might make it stand out among similar options. Buyers looking for cutting-edge technology might be disappointed.
• Questionable Resale Value : As the electric vehicle market is evolving rapidly, the long-term resale value of the Kia EV9 might be affected by the release of newer models with better features and range capacities.

Chevrolet Silverado EV

The Chevrolet Silverado EV, an upcoming electric pickup truck, has been generating a lot of buzz. However, there are a few reasons why buyers might want to think twice before purchasing this vehicle:

• Charging infrastructure : Charging stations for EVs are still not as widespread as gas stations, which could result in difficulties finding a suitable charging location and time-consuming detours. The Pew Research Center study has reported that the lack of a robust EV charging network contributes to the weak EV appetite among Americans.
• Battery cost and technology : While the cost of batteries is decreasing, they still contribute significantly to the overall cost of EVs. In 2020, the battery pack cost was around $137/kWh, and even though it is expected to decline to $101/kWh by 2024, it will still add considerable expense to owning an EV.
• Towing capacity concerns : Electric vehicles might not provide the same performance in terms of towing capacity as their internal combustion engine counterparts. This could be a major concern for those who need a truck for heavy-duty activities and could be a limiting factor for potential Silverado EV buyers.
• Upcoming competitors : The electric truck market is becoming crowded, with several automakers planning to launch new models over the next few years, such as the Tesla Cybertruck and the Ford F-150 Lightning. These upcoming models could offer better features, performance, and brand value, making it difficult for the Silverado EV to stand out.

Wagner in control of Russia’s Rostov-on-Don: Why the city matters

Rostov-on-don is a city of great strategic importance to russia’s war efforts in ukraine. thus, wagner group reportedly taking control of the city’s crucial military installations has potentially serious ramifications for the war..

Wagner Group’s troops have taken control of Rostov-on-Don , in southern Russia, according to the organisation’s chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on Saturday (June 24). Once a steadfast ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin has mounted, what has been referred to by Putin as, an “armed rebellion”.

According to Prigozhin, his forces have control of Rostov’s military facilities, including the all-important airfield, used by Russian forces to mount attacks on Ukraine during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Prigozhin has pledged to blockade Rostov and move on to Moscow if Russia’s Defence Minister and top generals do not meet with him in the city by tonight.

What has happened in Russia?

On Friday (June 23), Prigozhin accused Russian troops of launching a rocket attack that killed scores of his fighters. While the grizzled leader of Wagner Group has recently shared a frosty relationship with the country’s top military brass, this was a new low.

Immediately escalating the matter, Prigozhin vowed to march to Rostov in retaliation. Over the course of last night and this morning, his forces reached the city and took over military installations. While a number of unverified videos of Wagner troops in Rostov-on-Don have been circulating, it is still unclear whether Russian regulars and Wagner forces clashed in the city.

What is clear, however, is that as things stand, there is a sizable presence of Wagner forces in the city with Prigozhin releasing a video earlier today, where he claimed to be inside and in control at the city’s military command centre.

But, why Rostov?

Rostov-on-Don is the largest city in southwestern Russia, home to a million people, and the administrative centre of Rostov Oblast and the Southern Federal District of Russia. This region borders eastern Ukraine where the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has been raging.

The city itself is approximately just 100 km away from the border and is located along the main route between the border with Ukraine’s Donbas region and Moscow, around 1,100 km further to the north.

Consequently, it is a crucial command and logistical hub for the Russian army, housing the headquarters of the Russian Southern Military District, whose 58th Combined Arms Army is engaged in operations against Kyiv’s counteroffensive in southern Ukraine, as per DW.

Furthermore, Rostov is also the home base for the command centre of the Russian Joint Group of Forces in Ukraine as a whole.

What are the larger ramifications of this development?

As per the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), any threat to Russian military presence in the city may have far-reaching ramifications for the outcome of the war.

Some observers have gone as far as stating that this is a turning point in the war in Ukraine.

“Taking control of Rostov-on-Don, or at least part of Rostov-on-Don where the headquarters of the Russian army is, is an unprecedented move and it shows how weak the Russian military is,” Roman Goncharenko, international correspondent for DW, said.

However, Prigozhin himself has assured that Russian war efforts will not be impeded. In his statement earlier today, he said that while his fighters were in control of an aerodrome, planes taking part in the Ukraine offensive were “leaving as normal” from the airfield.

“We took [the aerodrome] under control so that the attack aviation does not strike us, but strikes the Ukrainians,” Prigozhin said. “We came here to stop the disgrace in the country that we live in … We are saving Russia,” he added.

Five-star Bayern roll over Rostov

Tuesday, September 13, 2016

Article summary

Robert Lewandowski's penalty was added to by Thomas Müller, Juan Bernat and two Joshua Kimmich strikes as Bayern won 5-0 to give Russian newcomers Rostov a harsh introduction.

Article top media content

Article body.

Bayern München produced a five-star display to dispatch group stage debutants FC Rostov, setting a new UEFA Champions League record with a 13th successive home win.

• Barcelona and Bayern begin in style
• Also in Group D: PSV 0-1 Atlético

Rostov did not help their own cause by giving away two soft goals in the first half, the first a Robert Lewandowski penalty and the second on the stroke of half-time to Thomas Müller, on his 27th birthday.

Bayern had hardly broken sweat in the first 45 minutes, but began to press harder in the second. The impressive Joshua Kimmich scored twice in quick succession before Juan Bernat added a fifth in stoppage time.

Key Player: Joshua Kimmich (Bayern) When Ancelotti announced that Joshua Kimmich would be in the starting XI, many assumed he would replace Philipp Lahm at right-back. Instead, the Italian put him in the heart of his midfield and the 21-year-old didn't disappoint. Not disheartened by two failed attempts on goal in the first half, the Bayern youngster continued to push forward to exploit the space afforded him and was rewarded with his first UEFA Champions League goals.

Bayern's depth Being able to rest key players like Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribéry and Xabi Alonso for a UEFA Champions League match is not a luxury many teams enjoy, but Bayern have quality in abundance. Kimmich has clearly given Carlo Ancelotti something to think about, while the Italian still has to fit Jérôme Boateng into a defence that is yet to concede this season. Kingsley Coman and Arjen Robben are also yet to return to bolster an already devastating attack. 

Rostov's rude awakening Rostov discovered just how big the gulf in class is in the UEFA Champions League, as they were outplayed in Munich. Naivety as much as anything cost the Russian side as they gave away an unnecessary penalty, which was converted by the prolific Robert Lewandowski, but the sucker punch was to come on the stroke of half time when poor defending presented Thomas Müller with a simple finish to effectively end the contest.

UEFA.com team reporters' views

Jordan Maciel, Bayern ( @UEFAcomJordanM ) A good start to the campaign for Bayern, who never really had to get out of first gear. Rostov gave a good account of themselves in the first half and will rue conceding the opener from a penalty and then again so close to half-time. Ancelotti will have no complaints as his side claimed all three points and a healthy goal difference ahead of another meeting with Atlético.

Richard van Poortvliet, Rostov ( @UEFAcomRichVP ) Rostov offered little in attack, which is understandable given the size of the task of playing against one of the best sides in Europe. However, it's imperative the side from the south of Russia become more streetwise in their remaining games if they are to have any hope of qualifying.

Match reaction

Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern coach It was a good start to our Champions League campaign. It was difficult to score early on, we didn't have many chances. We got there. At the moment the team is in good condition, both physically and mentally.

Ivan Danilyants, Rostov coach We have never played against a team that played like Bayern today. We tried hard to hold them off and stay organised then the first goal came from an unfortunate penalty. The rest from quick counters. This side is different to the one under Pep Guardiola: they are much more direct.

Total market value

• Squad size: 26
• Average age: 24.2
• Foreigners: 5    19.2 %
• National team players: 4
• Stadium: Rostov Arena    45.415 Seats
• Current transfer record: +€30k
