I was just curious what the lowest state of charge you have taken your Soul EV to?

I have gotten to 35% after a 70 mile run...
 
I've gotten to as low as 16% after driving from Encino to Rancho Mirage on a full charge with a stop in San Bernadino at a quick charging station. Got a lot of audible warnings about stopping to recharge as soon as I got down to 22%
 
You can turn those off. I most certainly don't need to be reminded I'm low on battery power. Once it got low, Leafing around, I'd be watching that GOM and the charge bars like a hawk, even try to estimate when each bar drops (there were only 12 in the Leaf, 18 in Soul).

Plus the big GOM numbers on the dial. You know very well where you are range-wise in these things at all times.
 
I've been down to 2%. The turtle comes on at about 5% remaining and starts flashing at about 3% remaining. Amazingly, the car will hold 62 MPH on flat ground with the cruise during turtle.
