    Battery Performance Dropping consistently

    Oops! My bad. 72,727 miles to be exact as of today. I'd be paying at least $7345.40 in penalty mileage. I'd like to think I should consider the Chevy Bolt with its 238+ mile range in the future if not a Tesla 3.

    Battery Performance Dropping consistently

    Update since my last post.... I've visited a dealership in Roseville, CA (not Elk Grove this time) in early December strongly requesting that my battery SOH be checked. Coincidentally, they had a recall flag to update the electrical system (did everyone else receive this too?) and said they...

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    I think I got a headache just be reviewing all the past posts on the best scanning tool to use for SOUL EV (2015 is what I got). Without using formulae on a spreadsheet or logging trips for calculations... 1) is there a simple way to determine the vehicle's battery SOH so that I can determine...

    Battery Performance Dropping consistently

    Technician came out from back during my visit to a KIA Dealership in Elk Grove, CA so that he could answer my questions/concerns. 1) Claims that the fast-chargers are designed to trickle down in charge rate once the battery reaches 50-60% (claims that is what he learned in training), which is...

    Battery Performance Dropping consistently

    That sounds reasonable enough. I have been a road warrior and currently at 67,000 miles. I suppose making a cross-country trip up to Salem, OR from Sacramento, CA would be too risky until I upgrade to a much more long-range EV such as the Chevy Bolt. Thanks for the feedback! It's much...

    Battery Performance Dropping consistently

    Thanks for those tips. What are the normal signs that a battery is on the decline with regards to using Fast-Chargers? And more importantly, when is the line crossed, when you know a new battery replacement under warranty can go into action? Surely, one does not need to keep using the same...

    Battery Performance Dropping consistently

    I am noticing Lvl 3 Fast Chargers are not getting my to 80% nearly as quickly before. Latest sessions at different locations I see 62% at 380V and <40 AMPS. I had a 2pm appt today to get it checked out but I'm totally broke at the moment in case they find no fault since it's on LEASE until Feb...
