Re: 2016 Soul EV+ Battery Replacement - Remanufactured?

Russell, what makes you think that Electrify America over-amped your battery? I blame EA for slow-rolling CHAdeMO as part of their master plan to kill us off (before they got killed by NACS). I regularly saw 74 kW on an EA DCFC before they throttled the equipment back to 50 kW. Our original 27 kWH b...

Re: Charging price

ChargePoint does not put any upcharge over the station's posted price, which is set by the station host, most other networks are similar in that what you see is what you pay. AmpUp has a default mode which adds taxes and transaction fees to the posted price, though hosts can remedy that to make the ...

Re: Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

Anybody notice reduced DCFC performance after the software update? I don't DCFC very often, but my 30 kWh warranty replacement battery has stopped at 67% on the last two sessions, and didn't pull more than 50 kW EVen though the station was rated for much more on CHAdeMO.

Re: Should I Keep My Wrecked Kia Soul EV for Parts?

I've become a resource for salvaged i-MiEV parts within that small community through a similar situation. I didn't crash, but needed a battery replacement at 106k miles, so bought a low-mileage wreck from the salvage auction. I'm on my third salvage car now, have learned a heap about that model, and...

Re: Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

I had the recall done on my 2016 last week. As the battery was replaced under warranty a year ago in the same service dept., you'd think they might know better, but the first scheduled visit was a failure- "We have to order new BMS hardware, can't reprogram your 2016." I went back a week l...

Re: 2015 soul (ev) display unit - infotainment

Fortunately or not, the glitchy screen only happened once or twice and has not reappeared, so no chance of a warranty claim on a fault that can't be demonstrated. Also, I found the following disclaimer in the warranty section of our manual. "An original equipment radio or navigation system is c...

Re: 2015 soul (ev) display unit - infotainment

Found this thread because my display just started glitching (hottest interior temperature day for the car yet this year). I'm thinking that because the display screen is the only way to manage charging sessions, it should be covered under the 10 year/100,000 mile "EV SYSTEM" warranty. Anyb...

Re: Battery Backorder? Since Nov '21

Greetings Jdohe and jluigi, I tried different pitches around a cash or credit allowance in lieu of a loaner/rental car, but EVeryone I dealt with behaved like a corporate drone without decision-making authority. I didn't seek a buyback of the '16 SOUL, as owning a 30 kWH car debt-free at no addition...

Re: Check electric vehicle system warning

The codes not being stored could be a clue. With the right tool the dealer should be able to read both the stored codes and the "pending" codes. There are faults that need to be triggered multiple times before the code and error light will actually be displayed. This is to eliminate 'nuisa...
