Is there a way to lock the Soul EV while it is running? I haven't found a way to do it. Tried do it with the keyfob lock, then tried with a second key, nothing. On cold days like today, i want to keep the car running on the driveway to keep it warm for when my son is done his doctor's...

Yeah, another thing that I don't understand is why the scheduled climate requires scheduled charging to be enabled. Some days, I enable immediate charging, and wake up to find the heat did not start.

Hi guys, I haven't been on the forum in a bit after getting my car. Wanted to know if i'm doing something wrong, or if there is a way to ADD or change charging stations on the Nav. Especially now in Ontario, a bunch of new L3 chargers are coming online, and it would be nice to add charging...

Hey 2016Electric, Good investigative skills you have. Yeah I had to go to PowerStream to charge the car until the car can be serviced. That's the closest L3 that's free to use. Apparently a whole bunch of charging stations are supposed to be ready by March 2017. Yeah I got mine at Richmond Hill...

Not sure where you got that price, but for Canada it is over $7000 based on my brother's experience as well. They were reluctant to replace it due to the cost. Also for me they quoted price because they tried to pin the failure with the collision. Its definitely a warranty issue which was why...

Yes I am as a matter of fact. Are you experiencing the same?

Thanks I ordered them in the states. Pretty expensive for just pieces of rubber though. I felt if someone had let me borrow there's I could've just traced it and cut it myself. It also doesn't have a lip around it to catch melted snow. But at least it fits. Until now I had a piece of cardboard...

Yeah I find that sound annoying too but I suppose it makes sense since the car is so silent it might be easy to forget that it's still running as you walk away. Many time is habe to get out of the car to grab the mail and it beeps.

I'm getting this really sick feeling in my stomach now. My brother bought his car a month after I got mine. Love the car. One day my brother tells me his car didn't charge (1 month after buying it). He's close to a L3 charger and went there and Chademo worked. Based on what I knew from this...

So fall is just around the corner so winter readiness is starting to prioritize itself. Anyone having any luck finding rubber mats? A few sites don't know the difference between a regular Soul and a Soul EV and assume they are one in the same. Surprises me that Kia doesn't even have them. Anyone...

Isn't the Chademo option standard on the Soul EV? It is for the 2016 anyway. Haven't had to use it yet. But at least there are going to be a bunch of new chargers open by March next year in Ontario. Right now difficult to drive from Toronto to Niagara without spending a couple of hours at an L2...

I read No Fee update. Was very disappointed.

So we were out the other night and we were parked and planned to watch the fireworks from our car. Since the car is zero emissions, we thought it would be a good idea to leave the car running with the AC so we don't fog up the windows while maintaining comfort. Turned off the display from the...

Just noticed the fan running when I went to check on the car in the hot garage. Didn't see a reference about this in the manual. Does it also turn on a heater during colder months? I think this was what the reserved temperature setting was for.

The Soul EVs sold in Canada include a coupon for a "free" Bosch Power Max EVSE. So basically that's the 16amp version with 18ft cord. You can get a different model and they will give you $595 off the price. You are responsible for the taxes on the full price and $75 for shipping. So you don't...

The Homelink mirror has just been a complete waste of time and money for me. I thought I would just be able to use the existing wiring and just plug it in. Nope, the connectors are different, and I have to install another wire instead. I called my local service department and see if they could...

Well the Bosch charger is provided or $595 equivalent if you want a different model. My concern was the installation cost not being covered. Also building an EVSE isn't covered by the Ontario rebate.

Well, when I walked away from the car, it was in reserve charging mode. I set the reserve time so I can leave the charging threshold at 80%. That's something I wish could be set in bypass mode. Because if somebody disconnects me, then tries to reconnect me, charging will not resume.

Can confirm with notfred. Just tested today at a public charger. Was able to disconnect and reconnect when locking door before plugging in cable. So not sure why the previous poster disconnected the locking mechanism as a fix.

So guys what's the latest status on this no updates. I haven't ordered money yet either because I suspect Bosch isn't familiar with the rebate in Ontario. The guy called at an $1000 rebate but it's actually not. So if the Bosch EVSE isn't eligible then the installation won't be covered either...
