Re: 2014-2019 Soul EV Floor Mats

We got the $200 floormat from Weathertech because we get so much mud and snow in the winter. They contain a full spilled soda.

Re: Can a 6yo 2016 KIA Soul EV report SOH 100%?

I once had a guy at the Dealer tell me that the state of charge and the state of health were the same thing.

Re: Battery Backorder? Since Nov '21

I just got my 2017 Soul EV back from the dealership and they replaced the traction battery. It has been more than 6 months. I drove it 60 miles and the guessOmeter still shows 40 miles of range. That is a good indicator. I will drive my normal 48 mile round trip commute twice next week without charg...

Re: buying a used 2016 kia soul from carvana - does this look right

i suspect that I would rule this car out based upon that picture, but if you can arrange a test drive you may be able to see the Battery SOH using an app and an OBD dongle. of course, the easiest way to know the capacity is to arrange a test drive of at least 20 miles in a straight line. highway mil...

Re: Battery Backorder? Since Nov '21

Congratulations Mdbuilder, It gives the rest of us hope. I Took my car into two dealers. The first that just reset the battery and delayed everything for a few months sent me a letter this month that [due to the increase in demand and price for fuel efficient cars] they would like to buy my EV from ...

Re: 2017 Soul battery degradation story

After a few more attempts to get the EV looked at by a dealer I finally got it verified. They told me the pack is being assembled overseas and they will let me know when it ships. I kept the vehicle as I do not want to drive a ICE for months. I can get to work and back with about 10-20% left. I have...

Re: 2017 Soul battery degradation story

thanks, I will try in another week. With the cold weather coming, I was hoping to get it resolved before the range decreases more.

Re: 2017 Soul battery degradation story

It has been 14 days since the BMS reset at the dealer which returned the GOM to 110 miles at 100% and the GOM now shows 65 miles at 100% I attempted to use SoulEVSpy today and got "unknown deterioration and all of the battery cells except one is blank. The manual says: Q: Why does the car show ...

Re: 2017 Soul battery degradation story

Good advice. in a couple weeks the range on the GOM should show a more accurate estimation of range and I will do that.
