    Alarm type tone with no visual indication.

    This morning, as I was turning into a side road, I got a dong, dong, dong.... noise, lower pitched than the proximity tone. No indication of any fault, the proximity diagram did not appear, and it did not stop when I cancelled the turn signal. I stopped the car, tried a few things but to no...

    Scheduled Recharge Stopped Working

    Its worked faultlessly since I got the car in 2020, but now, when I plug in, it starts charging immediately. I've checked the settings and when I close the interface, I get the confirmatory message to plug in and it will charge at the set time. I disconnected the 12V battery for a few hours to...

    Fault warning - Check EV System

    There have been a few posts about this warning arising intermittently, but never getting an OBD fault code from Spy or Torque. I have had it for 3 years, always in cold weather, never over the summer, and never when it was possible to get it to the dealer before it vanished - until today. I...

    Emergency use of EPB

    I have read the description of the Electronic Parking Brake in the Service Manual, and it seems to say that it uses part of the ABS System to control its application, to ensure smooth and progressive braking when the car is moving. Seems like a good idea. It also says that it will do the same...

    Timed Charging Malfunction

    I like to operate the battery between about 30-80%, so I use the timed charging control option. (The car is the 30kWh model, so the option to select charging to 80% is not available.) The timed charging has worked well initially, but on the last three occasions, charging has commenced...

    ABS Malfunction?

    I have had this happen twice and its a big worry. Thanks to narrow roads and people driving too fast, I've had to emergency brake a couple of times. There is an almighty bang (sounds like its coming from the back end) and for a short time (say 1 - 1.5 sec) virtually no braking (maybe just...

    Too Much SPAM

    Could the webmaster please strengthen the joining procedures to discourage the spammers. They are a pain in the proverbial.

    2018-19 Service Manual?

    Has anyone seen a Service Manual for the 2018-19 Soul EV available online, please? If not, is the 2015-17 largely applicable?

    Charger - 17th or 18th Edition???

    I'm trying to choose a charger for my garage. I understand 18th edition compliant devices add a dc-sensitive protection device and quite a bit to the cost, but the device is only required on certain vehicles which give rise to the dc issue. What I cannot discover is whether the Soul EV is one...

    Very odd scan readings

    I have just bought a 2 year old with 31,000 miles. The GOM shows 114 miles, and it covers 85 speedo miles with 26% charge left. If the 26% is correct, that suggests the range is 100/74*85=114.87 miles. The long-term "economy" display shows 4.0miles/kWh, which suggests the battery capacity is...
