I know I'm reviving an old post, but this issue has become an issue on out 2016 Kia Soul EV with 165,000 km on it. Our Soul has had the recall done, and the rear brakes come on when the car is in park and the car is turned off. About two months ago, my wife noticed that the car seems to roll...

Does anyone know how many kWh the 37510-E4250 battery is? That's what they put in as a replacement for the failed battery.

Got our battery replacement last week, 156 km range now, did not get the bigger battery, sadness. Don't know if it's a refurb or new battery, still haven't received the paperwork from the dealer yet.

Great news!!! Kia Canada has approved a replacement battery. Our dealer was very surprised as it's the first one that has been approved and they sell and service many Soul EV's. Thank you Kia Canada! Our dealer said the cost of the battery pack is $17000.00 CDN, that's a lot more than I've...

So, the dealer started a KTAC, whatever that is, and Kia Canada asked our dealer to do a "flight recording"... never heard of one of those before. Apparently, Kia Canada does not like to replace batteries... I guess we'll find out. We're back down to 83 km range now.

Thank you for the reply, 99900 km on the odometer, daily commute to work 50km at 100km/h, Vancouver, BC, never charged on a level 3, only level 2 charger daily. When the car was new, we only typically in the summer got 125 km, for the 1st year, then 120 the last couple of summers. Winter we...

Our 2016 Kia Soul EV had it's range drop to 82 [b ]km[/b] a few weeks back. Took it to the dealer, I asked them to do a SOH on the main battery, they said they can only do that on the 12volt battery. Told them, no, you can do it on the main battery... anyways, they reset the computers, upgraded...

In Canada, we only have two version, the base with cloth seats, no sunroof, standard heater and no Chademo, and the deluxe with leather seats, sun roof, heat pump heat/cooling and Chademo. I believe all US models come with Chademo and UVO. Can't get UVO in Canada... which sucks.

I just got a reply from Kia Canada, and Kia Canada continues to treat Canadian customers as second class owners. First no UVO, next no free upgrade... it will cost you $253 USD (yes USD that's $326.79 Cdn), to upgrade to the latest maps and Android Auto and Apple Carplay... plus no UVO for our...
