We are in a condo and don't have a level 2 charger, so every night we charge overnight with the Level 1 charger and during the day while at work we use a level to 30a we installed at work. Last week took a long drive and took it down to a 3% charge and plugged it in for 30 hours of the level 1...

Our previous Kia Rio would do that as well, it was very annoying. I would unlock the car from our third floor condo to grab something and by the time I got to the car it was locked and the keys would be back upstairs.

Light weight, not a big box but larger capacity than a 16a. I think I found the best option as it's from Canada, meets the requirements for the 50% rebate from the Government and free shipping, will just have to find an adapter to a Nema 14-50 plug...

Has anyone had any experience purchasing and using a portable level 2 220v charging system?

Find one high enough and drive in B mode and may get the range up to 800 km.

I have figured out the answer to my own question. I can see why people get range anxiety especially when there's more that one user driving the car. My partner drives it to work Monday to Friday driving the highway almost all the way at 90-110km. I may jump in it for a something in the evening...

We have the 2016 Soul UV Luxury and have been experiencing a significant drop in the range since picking up the car in July. The day we picked it up at Richmond Hill Kia the car was fully charged and had a range of 186km. We drove it home to Muskoka with a stop in Barrie to top off the charge...

I just received the invoice from Bosch, I was given a credit of $478.20 from the voucher from Kia.

24-Aug-2015 BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE SERVI MISSISSAUGA ON Debit $324.55 That was the difference in the unit and the cost of shipping.

We picked ours up in July and were told we could get the Green Plate this month. The Rebate can't be applied for until you've had the car for a year. The dealership said not to apply for at least 6 months or they would just send the paperwork back. I checked with the Ministry and they confirmed...

Did you get a rebate from the Dealership for your Charging Station? They didn't mention it to us but noticed a posting about it and phoned to asked. It was for a free 16amp station, we ended up upgrading to the 30amp for $324 including tax and shipping.

Called the dealership, they said you can't use ANYTHING but the factory rims or risk range issues etc (as other posts in the forum show, that is not the case). The factory Rims btw are over $900 each the TPMS sensor $154 each and they said the only tire you should use it the Yokohama Ice Guard...

Ordered ours in April 2015 in from Richmond Hill Kia and chose the Luxury edition. Finially picked it up the end of July. Loving it!!!

Has anyone investigated the best options for winter tires and rims? I've been offered a great set that a friend used for two weeks before trading in his Lexus. Just not sure of it's the best option for us. They are Avalanche Extreme tires on the Lexus OEM 15" rims lug 4.5 inch or 114.3mm High...
