I’m hoping to get a power inverter to hook up to the 12v battery in a power outage. What size would not exceed a 2922 Soul EV’s ability to top the 12v battery up? This is a Canadian unit, in case that makes a difference. Thanks very much!

According to https://mobile.guideautoweb.com/en/articles/70428/r-i.p-kia-soul-ev-another-small-electric-car-bows-out/, the Kia Soul EV is no longer for Canada after 2023. :( I spoke to my local dealership, and they not only confirmed the news they said they weren't going to be getting enough...

The Kia Hyundai channel on YouTube (a channel for one Kia dealership and two Hyundai dealerships in southern Ontario) has stated that they expect a new Kia Soul EV, based upon the 2023 revision of the ICE Soul. They mostly expect the front-end to look a little different, they don't expect other...

I already posted this in the 2019 and earlier forum, but it occurs to me that the second-gen Soul EV be different, so I'm posting it here as well. I watched an interesting YouTube video that demonstrated why you can't/shouldn't trickle-charge a Nissan Leaf directly from a solar panel, and the...

Hi there, I watched an interesting YouTube video that demonstrated why you can't/shouldn't trickle-charge a Nissan Leaf directly from a solar panel, and the video's assertion was that the car requires a minimum level of current when charging the high voltage battery. However, some cars...

Anyone seen any global sales figures for the Kia Soul EV for recent months/years? I wonder how the Soul EV is doing as the number of EV options proliferate, and Kia starts rolling out the EV6 in some markets. Despite the EV6 coming, they still launched a revision of the e-Niro, so it's by no...

In another part of this forum, it was stated: I'm replying here to stay on topic. So if I read this comment correctly, if the SOC is never brought below 20% it will never give you a SOH reading? I have a Soul EV 2021 with over 20k km on it that has never been charged above 85% since being...

After the Kia EV6 launch, the internet brain trust is expecting a larger car (the EV7) and a smaller car (the EV4) to be the next two released. The EV4 is looking to be a mix of the Soul EV and the Kia Seltos. It's been seen in shadowed profile in official Kia photos, and it's been seen in...

I’m in Canada and trying to get the Konnwei 902 adaptor to work with the full version of Soul EVspy on a 2021 Kia Soul EV Limited. My Android tablet connects to the dongle, but when I look at the battery map it’s a bunch of grey boxes. Any troubleshooting ideas? Edit: I carefully re-followed...

I was curious about the differences (if any) between the 2020 and 2021 Kia Soul EVs, and the only thing I found online was this video that goes through it in a lot of detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsC-RYncSlM That doesn't mean they didn't miss something, however. Does anyone know of...

I live in south-coastal British Columbia. In the depths of winter the average temperatures here are 2°C overnight low and 7°C daytime high. Of course those are averages, we do get the occasional cold snap, and the occasional warmer day. I've read that Winter Mode's battery warming can kick...

It's not uncommon for an e-car to have a significant new revision ever 2-3 years. The BMW i3 was released in 2014, had a significant revision in 2017, and another significant revision in 2019. Similarly the Soul EV was released in 2016, had a revision in 2018, and a revision in 2020. What are...

I read about a vehicle-to-grid pilot project that used Kia Soul EVs. Was there ever a consumer implementation of that in North America? I'd accept a homemade option. Why buy a Powerwall when you can use your car for that purpose instead? :)

Anyone tried an EVdoubler-style product on the Kia Soul EV? These are designed for us poor pleebs in North America who have only 120v outlets. These typically give you two plugs, that you insert into two 15A outlets, to give you a new 20-30A outlet. I found one on eBay that merges two 5-15...

It's easy to get lists of battery best practices, things such as wait 90 minutes before putting it on charge, not charging it above 80%, storing it near 50%, etc. But they rarely address the fact that some suggestions can be mutually exclusive. For example, if you finish a trip at 25% charge...

I watched a YouTube video where the presenter asserted that he shifts into "D", with occasional bursts into "B" in the turns and down certain hills, as he thinks that gives him the best mileage on a charge overall. That's confusing to me. Wouldn't the best mileage overall be to just leave it...

Hi all, this is my first post to the forum, so hopefully this isn't a topic that's been covered to death (I didn't find a thread, but perhaps I missed it!). I see that there's an option to charge to only 80% when using timed/metered charging. However, I don't see that option when metered...
