I called KIA Roadside assistance and they came and towed the car to the nearest KIA dealer in Calgary, AB. Dealer called and said they can't touch it because they are not EV Certified. Gave me the Canadian corporate number for Customer Assistance. So I called that number and explained the situation,...

- There is a thread about used Teo Taxis from Montreal. Thinking of getting a higher mileage 2016 The taxi company stored the spare key fob under the drive shifter. It was taped up and wrapped in wire. Am not sure what the point of the wiring was. Probably to form a Faraday cage, to prevent the pro...

- At 155,000km you seem to have been 'lucky'. Getting this issue just 5,000km before the warranty expires. I haven't heard of anyone else getting this issue, but I am sure they will. Also I was surprised this was EV System not Drivetrain. Again, you are 'lucky'. https://abload.de/img/warrantygkk6k....

Imagine my ironic shock when I realized that my electric car had come down with a pretty large oil leak. I removed the plastic guard to see where the oil wa...

- The only value that seems wrong is EWP =OFF. EWP is the electric water pump that pumps coolant through the OBC while the car is charging. The efficiency of charging will vary with temperature and the use or not of the cooling system. If your coolant pump isn't working for some reason that would l...

I bought a 2015 Kia Soul EV from Carvana last month. It was showing about 56 miles when fully charged. It took about a month to get the logistic setup for transporting it to the nearest certified EV Kia service center (Schamburg, IL). I am scheduled for diagnostics next week... I am hoping that all...

I think I discovered that Soul EV Spy doesn't handle negative temperatures properly. Yesterday it was -33c here and when I checked my battery pack temperatures they all read 253.0, 247.0, and like that. When I rechecked them after driving about 20 mins a couple had crept above zero and read 3.0 whi...
