Reading some Nissan Leaf discussion they mention a battery temperature displayed in control display. Seems their battery can heat up causing lifespan issues. Since I started using L3 charger I would like to see my battery temp in Kia. However I didn't see any mention of battery temp in manuals...

I have access to L3 charger that I could use almost every day. I am wondering if battery may age faster due to frequent fast charge. This station is about 40 kW Most charging is done on colder days, so below 10C Did anyone see increased battery degradation from frequent L3 charging? thanks

What is the actual power limit for heating in Soul EV? I read in a post that it can go up to 5 kW. Toronto driver said typical 1.5-2 kW. I tried to push mine to the max (-10C outside) and only got up to 1.6 kW, never seen higher.

1st snow and sure enough the charging door won't open. I struggled a bit using a plastic pick to clean snow/ice around the door but still took several tries to open it. So what is your safest (avoid damage) method of opening charging door in winter? thanks

I am bit puzzled by the different displays so could use some help trying to reconcile apparent discrepancy. Trip 51 km Climate only used for 5 min at 0.4 kW, so negligible. Energy Consumption display (smaller display behind steering wheel) Showing 13.7 kWh/100km Trip = 13.7 / 2 = 6.85 kWh...

I scheduled the reserve climate to start in the morning, Start driving 6:20 am, 25C, Mon-Fri There is a defrost icon which I didn't select (guessing it activates window defrost). I also have scheduled charging at midnight which works perfectly without fail. All icons/light indicate that the...

Having read about power use at different speeds I decided to test it myself. Late night alone on a newly paved straight road I reached 131 km/hr speed and set the cruise control to get a stable power reading: outside temp 10c, no wind, straight road, climate off 131 km/hr = 40 kW = 30.5 kWh /...

I could use some help with estimating my winter driving limits from other drivers (Sweden, Canada, etc). In particular I am trying to see if it can handle my 100 km trip commute to work. Here is the setup: Trip = 50 km one way, 100 km total Duration = 0.8 hr, 1.6 hr total Rest period = 8 hrs...

I just ordered the 30A charger from Bosch, but I am confused about different rebates. On the cost estimate there is a $595 incentive from Kia, I just learned that I was supposed to get some sort of coupon from dealer, but I didn't get it. Anybody knows how that works? The ontario rebate program...
