    Maintainance needed shortly before lease expires?

    Hi there. My 2015 Soul EV + lease is up at the end of Nov 2017. I drive 10K miles a year. My last "check up" was in Aug 2016, and had tires rotated, air filter replaced, fluids checked. The dealer keeps pestering me to come in for another check up. I'm not sure I want the hassle of driving...

    (D)rive vs. (B)rake

    I've had my Kia Soul EV for almost 2 years now. I always drive with the ECO mode on. When city driving, diving up/down hills, or in heavy traffic, B mode is best for me (1 pedal driving, for the most part). When on the freeway, and driving at a consistent cruising speed (60-75 MPH), D mode...

    FM Radio reception gets poor signal

    Yes, I have the same experience in my 2015 EV Soul. It's kind of annoying.

    Service in xx days warning light

    Anyone else receive this warning? I just went to the dealer about a month ago to take care of the recall notices, and I don't want to go back just to have this warning light reset. Any ideas on how to reset this?? http://imgur.com/6EnlIQn

    Connecting car WiFi with home WiFi

    Thanks. I think I might just disable the feature. I use my iPhone, connected via bluetooth, for just about everything anyway, including Yelp, maps, turn-by-turn directions, podcasts, etc. Ray

    Connecting car WiFi with home WiFi

    What's the point? Have their been any over the air updates to the car (such as what Tesla does)? Thanks - Ray

    Charging Fault error.

    Thanks. I'm not getting an error message in the car. It's a good thing I don't need to trickle charge much....

    Charging Fault error.

    Hello - I'm not sure if I have the same charging issue, related to this string. When using the charger which came with my 2015 Soul EV, and plugging into a 110v plug in my garage, the car charges for awhile (maybe an hour to two), and then stops, no matter if the battery is fully charged or...

    Kia Soul EV maintenance schedule

    Bringing this topic back up again. I now have about 8,500miles on my Soul EV. Really happy with the car and its performance. How many of you have hit 7,500+ miles yet and have rotated the tires? If you have, do you rotate the low resistance tires front to back? How easy was it to do...

    Yes, but only slightly.

    UVO issue with streaming music

    I found a workaround. I plugged a phone charger into the 12 volt charger to charge my phone, instead of the USB port. Now, I van stream both iPhone native apps and 3rd party apps over the car audio system.

    UVO issue with streaming music

    Has anyone else run into this problem? I have an iPhone 6. When driving, I have it plugged in via the USB charging port. When I press the Media button, my apple music or podcast app work fine. But, if I want to listen to a non-native Apple app, such as Tune-in radio or my Amazon Prime music...

    Siri Eyes Free

    Sounds crazy, but after the long press, tap the bottom of the UVO screen, then speak. It seems to work for me.

    "Eco" mode

    I wonder if the more efficient to get out of ECO mode on the highway, and be in drive mode when at cruising speed (65 mph). Then drop into B mode with ECO on only during city traffic or stop and go traffic on the highway. I wish the ECO button were on the steering wheel as well. Seems like a...

    Kia Soul EV maintenance schedule

    Hi everyone, I know it's a bit early, since most of us only have the Soul EV for a short amount of time, but...does one need to go to an "authorized EV Dealer" to rotate tires every 7,500 miles? The other parts of the inspection schedule involves checking certain fluid levels. It seems pretty...

    Home Charging (SF Bay Area)

    Many companies in the Bay Area offer free EV charging. I'm fortunate in that I can charge my Kia at work, so no need to spend money on buying/installing a charger at home. If needed, I can always plug the car in a 110v plug and get a partial charge over night.

    Homelink system

    Thanks for the information. I'm not sure why I wrote "Homeland", when it is actually 'Homelink".... I'll most likely lease, rather than buy the Soul EV. I'll see if I can get that thrown into the lease. Thanks -Ray

    Homelink system

    Can anyone confirm if either the Soul EV or EV + has the homeland system (to open garage doors)? If available, is it available in both models? Thanks - Ray
