The new app automatically updated and blew my old account away. Customer service said I had to open up a new UVO account with a different email and set it up all over again. This sucks, sucks, sucks!!!

I bought a 1978 Chevy Chevette new. Last GM car I ever owned, REAL piece of crap. I wouldn't drive a Bolt if you gave it to me. I'll stick with my Soul.

Unseasonably cold weather seems to have had an adverse impact on my range. Seems like charge gets used faster. I've taken to using the heater only until the cabin is comfortable, then turning it off until it gets uncomfortable again. My conservative driving habits are the same, but the range...

When I want to find a charge station I find PlugShare is preferable because it not only shows location but also charge station type and status. Am I not using the on-board system correctly?

Not yet but I sure felt like it when a Volt stayed on a charger in a public garage doing vanity charging when I needed a charge. In my opinion PHEV drivers are just EV wannabe poseurs.

Anybody up for a Soul EV meet in the SF Bay Area? Please email me at [email protected]. I'm thinking mid-peninsula or Hayward area, but open to suggestions.

Thanks to all. I'm such a n00b, I didn't realize it would go away by itself! Stupid lawyers!

Is it just me, or does anyone else think of the song "Iko Iko" when fast charging with a CHAdeMO plug? I think "CHAdeMO feena nay" instead of "jockomo feena nay", and when I charge I have the song in my head for hours afterwards. :lol: Never heard it? It's an old Cajun song, covered many...

That annoying "I acknowledge I should not pay attention to the touchscreen" message that requires me to tap yes every damn time I start the car! It's for the lawyers, nothing more. I want it to go away!

1. That annoying "I acknowledge I should not pay attention to the touchscreen" message that requires me to tap yes every damn time I start the car! I've only owned my Soul 4 days, and it's annoying me already. 2. 3 different control buttons marked "mode". 3. No CD player! (Hey, I'm old...

I had Sirius XM in my old Accord for 6 years, and enjoyed it very much. It's also nice when driving distances to not have to keep trying to find new stations when you get out of FM or AM radio range, because except in a few mountainous locations I never lost the XM signal.

I bought. Northern CA, silver. The $7500 tax credit is easy to do, and it's a big help if you pay a lot of taxes - which I do. Leasing? Lot of downsides, too. Nobody tells me how much to drive, and you know the deck is stacked in the dealership's favor most of the time. Sure, tech may...

Unlike most of the commenters here, I bought. Leasing an ICE is usually a bad deal for a lot of different reasons, and even if it is an EV, I don't believe in having my mileage dictated. I drive when I want, without watching the odometer to avoid excess charges. It's a great car, and I'm the...
