I purchased my 2017 + used in 2019. Second owner. In 2020 I had the battery replaced under warranty due to massive degradation. I want to say the issue began after the battery replacement. It wasn't occurring when I first bought the car. It is currently back at Kia post BMS recall awaiting a...

The issue is the same here. Walking around the back lot of the service center you will see more Soul EVs parked than ever in your life. All with long waits for a battery. The actual battery install takes about 3 hours. Being this is my second battery replacement, I was already expecting this...

I personally never drive with Eco Mode on and can notice right away if it was. This happens in specific circumstances. For me it happens when switching from 'B' to 'D' mode for the first time during a driving session. As e. provost94 describes, the car will actually continue to hard accelerate...

If it makes you feel better, my 2017 + has also been at the dealer since Nov 28, 2023. It needed a new battery two weeks post BMS replacement. Kia has actually contacted me and updated me throughout. A few weeks ago I received an email that my battery had arrived in the USA and is awaiting QC...

Yes! I have the same issue on my 2017 +. I notice it when getting on the highway. I drive in 'B' mode on city streets and can replicate the rapid acceleration by throwing the shifter into 'D' as I'm accelerating onto the highway. Acceleration rapidly increases and continues until like you said...

UPDATE: Spoke with the parts guy at my local Kia dealer. He doesn't see any reason why the updated kit, B2067ADU01, will not fit. It showed as compatible via my VIN from his end. He ordered the part and we will get it installed when it arrives. If it turns out it's not compatible, he said I...

About 3 years ago I put OEM puddle lights on my 2017. I just purchased a 2019 and wanted to do the same. Looks like all the original kits, part number B2067ADU00, have been discontinued and bought up and are replaced by B2067ADU01. However this new part, B2067ADU01, is listed as not compatible...

Every review I've read or watched mentioned the stripping down of features as a way to reduce weight and improve range. Same reason we have fewer, non-premium speakers and no subwoofer even in the plus trim.

I just purchased a used 2017 Kia Soul EV+ with the 27 kW battery pack. On the way home I had a 50 mi (80 km) stretch that was all highway at 65 - 75 mph (104 - 120 kmph). I didn't use the AC or the radio to save energy. With full charge the battery only showed 76 mi (122 km) of range. Upon...

Hello FtWorthKat. I am from far north Dallas and am looking to purchase a used Soul EV+. Do you have any more experience with getting yours serviced? I suppose that is a big concern that I am overlooking due to my excitement of owning one. Have you talked to other dealerships in the time since...
