    brakes failed

    I'll definitely give that a try, sounds like a halfway decent way around it.

    brakes failed

    Would be easier if they hadn't added that acceleration when you lift off the brake. Would make putting the car into Neutral irrelevant.

    Car won't start :cry:

    Dealership said it is a bad 12v battery and they are looking for a replacement. Hopefully they can find one soon.

    Car won't start :cry:

    I do leave it in the "On" position (green car light with arrows) when I'm sitting in it running the stereo and AC, but the last time I did that was 5 days ago and I have driving it on 11 trips since then, well over 100 miles. It had been off in my garage, plugged into the wall with the factory...

    Car won't start :cry:

    So Sunday we go to the zoo, about 15 miles away, and I charge on a blink L2 charger while we are at the zoo and she makes it home with no problem. Plug her in with the factory L1 charger at home and there she sat until this morning. Doors unlock normally with the button on the handle, but when I...

    Texas Soul EV owners

    So I finally saw another Soul EV owner in Houston. It was a Blue/White at Fairbanks and Beltway. I honked and waved, but don't think I got his attention. Hope to see him here soon!

    No Free Android Auto or Apple Carplay for Canada

    Just curious, has anyone contacted MNSoft to see if they can provide just the firmware update? They have a live chat at the bottom of the page https://www.kia-gpsmap.ca/

    Kia Exploding Sunroof Lawsuit

    I have the 2016 Sun'n'Fun package so I'd be interested if anyone finds out if this was corrected.

    Transporting 2 or more bikes

    There are only a few body differences between the ICE and EV versions of the Soul. The only difference on the rear hatch that I am aware of is slightly different tail lights which should not make any difference for the mount.

    Kia Soul EVs in Texas

    It's actually Round Rock Kia and it's where I got mine from and I live in Houston so about the same distance. I found out later that there was a closer dealership, but they only have 2015s and there appears to be no way to search to see who has the 2015s, only the 2016s. Try and see if any of...

    Android Auto and Apple CarPlay almost here!

    I'm downloading now. For those who have not found it, look for the VIEW LATEST SOFTWARE link under your car on UVO. FYI, I had to refresh the page before I could see the link. I'm downloading now so I should be updated in the next 2 hours. I have cable internet so it is pretty fast and it is...

    Charging at 16A on 120V (U.S.)

    When I put in an L2 charger I am looking at adding a NEMA 14-50 outlet and getting something like the https://store.clippercreek.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=67&search=hcs-40 which will work off that outlet instead of hard wiring it directly into the breaker box. Since the...

    Charging at 16A on 120V (U.S.)

    I haven't seen 120V 20amp charging cable, I was curious what cable you are using for this? 18.4amp on a 20 amp circuit actually sounds too high. A 20amp circuit would be rated for 16amps of continues draw.

    Living on the 120v charger.

    I have had my car for over 4 months now and only have the 120v charger. In that time I have had to use a L3 charger only 3 times, twice because I had to drive across town and a third because we had heavy flooding and I wasn't able to get the car to the house (had to wade the last several...

    Map update Promo code

    I actually have a vent mount for my phone and I use the navigation from there over Kia's already. There are several roads and a new highway which are not currently in the Kia (mine is only a few months old) and google does a better job suggesting alternate routes based on traffic imo. Not to...

    Map update Promo code

    If you get your maps through Android Auto, wouldn't that make the built-in maps useless or is there something I'm not understanding? I waiting for the update to fully see how it works so I don't know either way myself.

    (D)rive vs. (B)rake

    I'm in the same boat as Tractioninc that I used to have a manual, so it was a pretty easy adjustment for me. The harder adjustment was having to keep pressure on the brake constantly to keep from moving. I live in a large city with a lot of traffic, so being able to control the speed more from...

    Can I safely charge to 100% with my L2 home charger?

    I would be interested to see any details on this. Do you have any links?

    Kia Soul EV Mood Lighting?

    I have them as well. I've only noticed them when the dash changed to night mode. I've tried to cover the speakers during the day and could not see them. I also checked the battery usage with them off and on and I couldn't see I difference, so I just leave them on now. I think they aren't very...
