Voltage at 100% is 398.4 V, so I got the 96 cell battery. And I am absolutely fine with that! -Nate

Also, the charging rate is back to full 6+ kW until 100%, when it immediately drops to 0 kW. Woo! -N

Just picked up my fixed Soul. New battery and BMS, and most of the 2 weeks was waiting for parts. The labor hours are listed as 3.2. Immediately after charging to 100%, cells are all at 4.14V, Max kWh=28.22, and State of Health at 110%. I suspect it will hold together until the lease ends in...

The dealer got approval to replace battery and BMS under warranty, but don't yet have an estimate of when the parts will arrive. I suspect I have a few weeks to get used to driving the gasoline rental car. I asked for any diagnostic report they have and will report if it has any useful info.

In general, cells 1-94 are all within 0.02V of each other, 95 starts to get a bit iffy, but 96 is far out. At 100% charge, 96 is at 4.18V, 95 @ 4.08V, and the rest at 4.04-4.06V. At low charge, 96 and 95 have similar deviations (96 bad, 95 questionable), but with lower voltages than the rest of...

Mine might be another one: 2015 with cell 96 at 56.2% deterioration, SoH at 81.9% (using Torque app and PIDs from https://github.com/JejuSoul/OBD-PIDs-for-HKMC-EVs). Full charge (now 21 kWh) gives a range of 44 miles, and I've been mostly driving between LA and Irvine at 65 mi/h. I gave this...

Thanks! I'll check on it when she gets home.

This just happened to my wife after driving 12 miles with a full traction battery. Did the warning ever come back after rebooting the car? If it is not just a glitch, it sounds like some issue with the 12V battery not getting charged. I just had the car in for service last week, and everything...

I have a Leaf and a Soul EV, and switch off with my wife to average out miles. I use a 208V 30A Chargepoint system at work, so usually see it max out at 6kW from the EVSE for both. The Leaf will start tapering when getting close to done, often going to zero followed with a few 2kW peaks (cell...

I think those made after 8 January are OK. I entered my VIN on the Kia recall site yesterday, and it did not show a recall. I'll keep checking for a few days. I haven't found my exact build date yet.
