It looks like the break lights does come on when regenerative braking. Thanks for posting.

Based on the price you've quoted, and the fact that you've mentioned "automatic" transmission makes me think you've posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for the Kia Soul Electric Vehicle (EV), not the gasoline engine Kia Soul.

Well, some think the Kia Soul EV is ugly. To each it's own, I guess.

Welcome to the Forum Lithim! According to the manual, the trickle charger (Level 1) that came with the car is a 120V-12A EVSE. Also, the Kia Website (http://www.kia.com/us/en/content/ev-faqs/charging/three-charge-levels) says this charges at a speed of 1-1.5 kW.

In my case, I paid for the CHAdeMo QC (NRG eVgo card) in one dealer, and the L2 charge was free in another dealer.

What was the battery state of charge in those three charges? Was it 100%? What was the state of charge at the beginning of your charge? How many hours did you charge? Finally, the range number displayed on the dashboard is not a good way to measure how much juice you are getting from your...

Yes, I've charged at two separate Nissan dealerships in the L.A. area, both L2 and CHAdeMo. Each time salespeople where quite friendly. Of course, they asked me lot of questions about the Soul EV.

That's cool - no pun intended! :D

Never happened to me. It must be something in your pants! :lol:

I wish there is a way to extract the average energy consumption information from the AVN (Audio Video Navigation) screen. Right now I am just taking photos of the screen. I hear the operating system is Android Auto? If so, is there any way to interface with it?

I love B mode as well and I am glad the break lights come on the way they do. In fact, when I try to maximize regeneration and not step on the break pedal, I sometimes end up "gliding" through a stop sign. My old "California Roll" on a stop sign bad habit is fighting to come back!

I went to the setup clock screen and turned off DST. That did it for me.

My dealer also made no mention of it when I took delivery, but he called me a week later saying he forgot to give me the Charge Up card. If I were you, I'd print out the Kia Motors Press release (see below) and show it to them. Thanks to loristein for the posting the original link...

Yes, the entire sun visor can slide to block sun when positioned against driver's door window.

I just got the Greenlots card, and registered through the website charge.greenlots.com (no "www" in front) and successfully linked the RFID to the account.
