    Cabin air filter - 2020 Limited EV

    Thanks for the reply Alexank. I can vouch for it being a very easy change but I can also say beware of filters that claim they fit. I ordered Purolator C38208 - although it said it fitted it did not so I returned it. (Amazon) This one did fit: Genuine OEM 97133-D3200 Cabin Air Filter /...

    Are rear passengers’ window and seat heater controls supposed to be backlit?

    Did you ever find out about the "non illuminated" rear seat controls? I was wondering the same. I have checked on Facebook and had only one response and that was they too had no lights on the switches. It is hard to imagine that they would not be capable of being illuminated since they have...

    Check electric vehicle system warning

    Felt I should tell the end of my story - i hope! I got my car back just before Christmas - apart from the few days in Sept it was at the dealership for 2 days less than 6 months. The length of time was entirely due to supply chain deliveries. KIA provided a rental for most of that time and...

    Check electric vehicle system warning

    Thanks IanL, I appreciate your comments. I got caught in the supply chain mess and don't want to end up with waiting for yet another part so I will drive around a lot more based on your comment and see if that scenario happens to me. I have yet to turn it off and get it back when I simply turn...

    Check electric vehicle system warning

    Thanks once again - very interesting comments. I just drove nearly 40km and no warning light so I won;t be taking it to the dealer who wants me to drive in with a "live" error showing. Today it not that warm so the AC did not come on but I will do another test drive tomorrow and I suspect it...

    Check electric vehicle system warning

    Thanks jray3 for the comment. Will note as much as I can when it happens again. I have already had the following replaced (and was without the car for several weeks - rental ICE car and gas provided by KIA): - Traction control motor - OBC - EPCU The AC seems to be always unavailable when it...

    Check electric vehicle system warning

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone has had the "Check electric vehicle system" in an orange triangle warning and if so what was the solution? I have seen it in in EV6 forums, older Souls, and some eNiros but not with the Soul (mine is a 2020 Limited) I got this error in June and have had several...

    Cabin air filter - 2020 Limited EV

    Any suggestions re. OEM or FRAM or other? OEM is 97133-D3200, FRAM looks like CF12160. Changing it looks very easy but I would be interested in how people feel about changing it to a different make.

    My Soul EV's Full Charge Is About 10 Miles Less In Colder Weather(below 50 degrees)

    Great - that research suits me! :-) The "good season " is just around the corner here. I think in April the GOM gets really close to telling th truth for me.

    My Soul EV's Full Charge Is About 10 Miles Less In Colder Weather(below 50 degrees)

    Interesting question. I have kept lots of stats on temperature and range etc for almost 3 years now and one thing I didn't record was when I use Winter Mode. However looking at the temperature curve I suspect I turn it on about mid-November to mid-April and at those times the average...

    Adding LED strip between lights?

    Has anyone found any way LEDs could "join" the headlights along the front of the hood? Third party? Although I guess if it is wired into the DLRLs it might invalidate the warranty possibly.

    My Soul EV's Full Charge Is About 10 Miles Less In Colder Weather(below 50 degrees)

    I have kept detailed records of my Kia Soul EV (2020) for over 2 years now, including charging details, GOM, real range and day/night temperatures and can see that the real and GOM ranges follow the temperature pretty precisely. The GOM "exaggerates" but the exaggerated amount varies depending...

    Charger door issues

    Thanks IanL. I am hesitant to try lubricating it in case when they get a replacement part they "blame" me in some way! However I have found a crude way to get it open till the replacement part arrives. I stand near the charger door and use the key fob to open the car then repeatedly press...

    Charger door issues

    2020 Limited - Canada - owned for over 2yrs I recently started having difficulty opening the charger door. It went from being a bit tricky to make sure I hit the raised arrow, to having to use many attempts to unlock the car or even manually moving a lever that seems to not work. When I...

    Where to get all season Floor Mats?

    I am biased because I have them, but I recommend Tuxmats. I do not have the trunk liner but the cab ones fit very well. https://www.tuxmat.ca/

    Soul EV Spy Questions and Answers

    IanL I have Torque Pro too and will see how things compare - I admit it took SO LONG to set up the screens for Torque (the individual cells were nowhere near as easy as using SoulSpy) so I have not been really using it. I am intrigued by all the data so I will try it soon - would like some...

    Soul EV Spy Questions and Answers

    I am not an expert but I took a drive a while ago and simply set things up, left my phone connected, did my journey, then when I got home downloaded the CSV file from my phone (Android) and the whole trip was recorded. LOADS of information including lat/long. I could see where I was regenning...
