I'll try the DCFC at Landsdowne mall today - Noodoe is a Chinese company with offices in California LOL so I imagine the adapter should work? There's a chargepoint at the Olympic Oval as well so I might see if I can hit both today, and a Chevron on the way home - the only problem with the...

Yup, I noticed that the fan status was 8 at the time. Though for some reason it stopped DC charging at 64% (speed didn’t drop yet), and the check EV system light came on. I forgot to check the code, but I imagine it had something to do with the OBC (it’s been popping up randomly, and already...

@JejuSoul do you think it would be possible to direct cool air from the HVAC into the little air inlets underneath the driver and front passenger seats to provide cool air into the battery? I managed to get my remanufactured battery with the upgraded harness to pretty toasty max 50C (while...

LOL I worried about it too, if you’re really worried about it I suppose you could always put a couple of padded magnets on the hood and cover it with a small tarp or black garbage bag? It was chucking it on the 2nd test…bad day to do a range/charging test. GOM was pretty accurate though, I...

duplicate post. Removed text

More tests so far. Only one that has failed consistently were BC Hydro AddEnergie stations (though Flo ones were unaffected, worked normally), and Electrify Canada/America stations. Flo charger test - location info in video description. SWTCH charger test - hit up to 66kw charging max for...

update: Tested a Shell Recharge 60kw unit today. It connected without issues (i was in the 75% SOC so it wasn’t going fast, I was mostly expecting it to not work at all). I’ll be testing more ccs chargers and see if I can hit max speed of 60kw/65? - one BCHydro unit I had showed 64kw once…...

They basically used simulators as the starting point and worked from there. I opened mine yesterday but haven’t gotten to the point where I needed to fast charge yet so will get there and try and see what happens. The factory said to contact them if it doesn’t work and need updated firmware…

IMO, the price drop on trade might also be related to the overall EV market and the drop on the resale price of cars. The guy from the YouTube channel Aging Wheels recently did a video about his Polestar 2 and it was like 70k or something brand new and out of warranty, 70k miles on it, and it...

Also his is a ccs2 to chademo (I think Europe is CCS2, someone correct me if I’m wrong); and for some reason CCS2 to Chademo seems to work better with more stations than CCS1. Though eventually I assume will need a NACS to Chademo adapter (ant least in North America) assuming the Soul will last...

lol I would probably go for a classic Ioniq - they seem to handle themselves a hell of a lot better than the Soul (pre 2018); batteries are a lot more stable to boot. Less degradation, less chances to rapidgate and coldgate (battery overheat and battery too cold resulting in low fast charge...

Generally my opinion is to charge to 80 if you don’t need 100% use that if you are going on a road trip or need the remaining 20. Use an OBD scanner with Car Scanner at minimum on road trips to monitor the temps on the battery, but otherwise make sure to plug slow or level 2 each time...

according to Bjorn Nyland’s testing on his channel, 1st Gen Souls with a replaced battery (30 or 27kwh) or original 30kwh battery tend to do pretty well (he hasn’t gotten it for long and hasn’t decided to actually buy it) and he was testing a frankenstein-ed one that had the 27kwh body and obc...

Yup I got a reman battery. 37510-E4252R @JejuSoul said (somewhere on this forum) that mine is a remanufactured battery. Given the number being E4252 instead of your E4253 he's probably right in saying that it might be the year? I had the gasket and harness recall stuff done at the same time -...

In fact they called this morning to say that the warranty claim was approved, now the OBC just has to make its way over to Vancouver from somewhere in Korea...
