I have 78,000 kms and i have lost quite a high % of battery power. A full charge would get me about 179km range at the beginning, now a full charge gets me 94 km of range.

sorry for the late update i was away on a business trip. Brought the car in and it was as before the OBC that had to be replaced. the part number is different from the last OBC that was replaced. I think there might be a recall soon.

Here we go again!!! :oops: This morning i unplugged my car from the charger, got in the car, turned it on, and low and behold i got the dreaded 'Charging Fault Error' message on the screen, AGAIN!! Last time was in December when i first started this topic. Luckily i have a fast charger 2...

Friday Dec 4th i got my winter tires installed at my Kia Dealership and they did an update on the car at the same time. When i got home i plugged it in as usual (SunCountry 32amp) and retired for the night. The next morning when i got into my car i was surprised to see that my car did not charge...

None at all...Mine is the Lux and NO sunroof either, unfortunately.

i received my 2016 Soul EV Lux (black/red) on Tuesday! I absolutely love it!! Put on a little under 1000 Km already. I also had problems with the paper work in regards to the leasing and insurance. Lease was at 2.9%, not the 1.9% advertised for the 2015. I haven't installed the charger yet...
