    Moving from US to Europe with my Soul EV?

    I'm getting transferred to Germany. I'm one year into a 3 year lease on a 2016 Soul EV+ and just turning it in doesn't look like an option. KMF says they will charge a $400 lease termination fee, sell the car at auction, and bill me for the difference between what they get and the payoff. So, I...

    Check EV System light came on briefly

    No other message popped up in the display like in the photos here, just the triangle warning light. And it hasn't come back on for almost a week. Coming from driving a Tesla for the past four years, I'm a little skeptical of dealing with the service department at a Kia dealer. I may buy a cheap...

    Check EV System light came on briefly

    First, the search in this forum sucks. It ignores common words like check, EV, and system and you can't put them in quotes to look for the phrase. So I went through 25 pages of results for "light" and don't see this specific issue. Month old 2016 Soul EV+. Twice now, about a week apart, while...

    Thanks. I hoped it was that. Good to know.

    new SoulEV range estimate at 100% dropped

    When I first got the car three weeks ago, the range showed 108 miles when fully charged. Now it shows something between 99 and 102 when charged to 100%. Is this normal/expected, based on my driving habits (highway commute) or something? Thanks, Matt

    Kia found OBC unit & battery cells to be faulty!

    I find that sort of hard to believe. Nissan will replace a 24kWh Leaf battery for under $6500 including labor.

    Maryland owners

    Old thread, but I just leased a 2016 Soul EV+ Love it so far, but trading down from a Tesla Model S, so some adjustments in expectations are ongoing. Love that it has Android Auto.

    Welcome to the Kia Soul EV Forum

    Just sold my 2015 Tesla Model S 70D. I got that when I traded in my 2012 Model S Signature. Now after almost five years with a Tesla as a daily driver I've got a spanking new 2016 Soul EV + and get to readjust to range anxiety. Don't think it will be much of a problem. Nor will figuring out...

    what other cars did you consider?

    I got my Tesla Model S Signature #209 in October of 2012. Traded it for a 70D with autopilot at the end of 2015. I'm going in tomorrow to get a Soul EV+ because you just can't beat the current incentives. I will have to depend on the ICE mobile for longer weekend trips, but 90% of my driving...
