    2018 Kia Soul EV EPA Range

    The 2018 Soul EV's range has been certified by the EPA at 111 miles. Combined MPGe has risen from 105 to 108 MPGe and consumption drops from 32 kWh/100 miles to 31 kWh/100 miles. A large part of the range increase was the deletion of the 80% charge option; if this option is present then 80...

    I need to replace my factory Kia EVSE trickle charger before I turn my lease in and I don't have the part number. Would one of you be so kind to reply with the part number from the back of the device? I'd appreciate it.

Edit: By using a 120V 16A capable EVSE (OpenEVSE, JESLA, etc.); I'm aware the charge...

    TMS Behavior

    I've been casually paying attention to when my battery cooling fan comes on over the last six months, mostly out of curiosity.  My main hesitation for buying a Leaf was its lack of a cooling mechanism combined with a propensity to cook its batteries.  I was very relieved to learn that the Soul...

    First Couple Hundred Miles

    (This is a cross-post with MNL) I've got a couple hundred miles on the car now and I'm really enjoying it.
