My 2015 Soul-EV (with 28,000 local miles) has the now-common "External Charger Error!" display whenever I power-ON, and whenever I plug in my home Level-2 charger connector. Right now, the car is at the Cerritos-KIA Service Center waiting for diagnosis/service. But that seems to be taking a...

I want "Immediate Charging to 80 %" but don't know how to set it. The only "Immediate Charging" setting for my 2015 EV results in 100% charge. Would appreciate any help.

My '15 Soul-EV started displaying "Key Fob Low Battery" when turning the Power ON. Both of my fobs have new batteries and both cause the same warning message, but not every time. When I hold the key fob very close, or with fob touching the button, the Power turns on and the warning message...

I notice a U.S. EV industry score-sheet that only 3 Soul EV cars has been sold in the 1st 4 mo. of 2019. I guess that KIA has stopped selling Soul EVs in the U.S. until the 2020 model comes out. True?

Nice recent piece in the NY Times about some hackers with their "self-racing" Kia Soul EV: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/business/self-racing-cars.html or https://nyti.ms/2VElJiO

My GOM is unpredictable and so I plan to use the State-of-Charge gauge as the visible reference for the Batt.. I wonder if the gauge is "linear"; that is, if the 18 lines represent equal share of the battery charge ? That is , if each line represent 5.5% of charge? That would mean that the...

My 2015 is always garaged, with low mileage, by the beach in SoCal,. I always use the elec. park lever when I park the car. After I return the car with wet brakes, and leave it, and then, maybe hours later, back out of the garage, the car will not move easily, until I apply a little power...

I have the current UVO ECO app (v.2.1.8) installed and working on my Android-8 mobile. I also want it installed on my ASUS tablet (Android 7). Tablet is WiFI-connected but no wireless service. When I do the search for the app in the Play Store on the Tablet, there is no "EVO ECO" app...

I checked all my Kia manuals to find guidance on Charging procedures to maintain battery long life. I didn't see a specific section on this subject. Did I miss it? I have seen mention that it's best to keep SOC between 20% and 80%, and, of course, never let SOC get to 0%. I like to keep SOC...

Maybe its just me but I needed clarity for the different light indications on the Power-Button. As I understand, The word "Power" is lit only for convenience; so it's easy to find. The small LED window has different light colors to indicate different vehicle operating modes. So, the LED has a...

I wonder about software updates my the car's MM system (seems slow to me). My Soul EV+ was purchased in Feb'15 (Cerritos, Calif.) and has Settings/ (MM?) System Info, on the MM screen, as follows; S/W ver. : ST.PSEV.USA. E447.140904 . And also four more lines of version numbers for ...

I read that an "engine sound" audio is supposed to be plainly heard in front of the slowly moving car, to warn pedestrians about the oncoming EV. As a driver, with windows open, I can't hear anything like this when moving the car slowly forward or backward. People standing by car can't hear...

Added black side molding to my titanium Silver '15 Soul-EV. Bought from Dawn Enterprises on ebay. All worked out well.

Finally figured out a peculiar event, with the help of Kia Cutomer Service.. If you garage the car, walk away from your Soul EV leaving it unlocked, it may not stay unlocked. If you hit the Unlock button on your Smart Key, accidently (or not), 30-sec. later, all doors will lock.

I accidently activate the car Alarm from my pocket key when I lean up against something. Happens sometimes when I'm in the house. I would like to disable the Alarm. Any way to do that ?

I have been using the Eco setting for some months and am soft on the pedal. Most of the trips are short local-streets. Some are freeway speeds. Hardly use the A/C. The Eco level varies from 4 to 7 during my driving. Every drive as listed in the Eco history shows efficiency as 4.1 mi./kWh...

I have a silver Soul EV with a light grey dashboard. I get a lot of reflections from that in the windshield. I would like to put a dull dark surface that covers drivers side part of dash to eliminate the reflections. I don't want a large dash cover that can be bought for $40. Looking for...
