Hey, I'm back. The car started just fine. Had to manually unlock the driver door with the physical key. Turned that switch back on - and everything is back to normal. No data or anything was lost, as far as I could tell. All the radio stations memories stayed intact and drive history seems to...

This is super easy to "turn off" - thanks. I will make sure the drive battery is around 50-60% full or so and will turn this switch off. And will use the physical key to get back into the car when I return. Thanks for all the useful replies! :)

Hi everybody, I have the 2016 Kia Soul and I am about to go away for 3 weeks internationally. So the car will be standing still and not driven. What is the best method to minimize issues? Do I keep the car plugged in to charge it? Schedule it to charge say, once a week or other frequency...

Hi, I have the 2016 Soul EV and noticed that the FM Radio reception gets poor signal in hilly areas where my previous car (Toyota Highlander Limited Edition) used to get OK reception. Has anybody else experienced poor FM radio reception? I get it both on HD and regular radio modes. Thanks :D

Hi everybody, In February I got my Soul EV 2016 and I love it. I live in the San Fernado Valley in the Los Angeles area and in the summer months we often get day time temperature in 90s, 100, and once in a while even 107-115f. I was wondering how will driving in these temps with the AC on...

I just got my 2016 Soul EV in Blue & White roof top - its awesome! Love everything about the car and its a real joy to drive it. In the same time, its FUNCTIONAL - when I need to carry some gear to work, I flat the back seats down and it works like a small SUV! The only small feature I miss...

Great, thanks for the response. Do you know how much it actually saved you overall? E.g. - 5, 20% from your previous bills?

Hi, Im new to EVs, about to purchase my Soul EV real soon. And wanted to get real life feedback from any of you in the Los Angeles area on the DWP electric service. If I don't install any special meter or such and just let the Soul add on to my bill, I am probably going to use most of the...

Hi, I have not bought my Soul EV, yet - and I'm new to EVs overall. I had my electrician run a dedicated 55AMP 220 Line to where I will install the charger station and need to choose which to get. Do any of you have any recommendations for an inexpensive outdoor unit that works well with the...
