Wonder if this is US EPA GOM vs elsewhere ... not sure when I Google "2016 soul ev range" the interwisdom is the 93 miles we had. Oh well, there is an outstanding (but not available) software recall for the BMS which might shed some light on this. As you say - she's just enjoying the reduc...

Nope, when new to us (only 5.5K miles) is was 93, delivering as much as 104 miles when GOM was ignored and battery SOC was used. So we are totally confused. Current run is on track for around 130 miles again. AFAIK Kia don't and didn't have batteries with this range for any of their line

It's interesting. Here in Colorado with a temperature range from -10F/-20C to 100F/37C (and more in both directions) - we found the GOM fairly close on the original battery - as in it dropped based on ambient during the winter and increased in summer (my daughter tries to avoid running the A/C unles...

To complete this thread, in case others find it. Kia updated the BMS software when they installed a replacement BMS earlier this year After installing the new BMS, a new battery was authorised When the new battery was installed, projected range was unchanged We tried depleting to <20% and charging t...

I appreciate your response, in conversation with Kia now.

Okay I have scoured the forum and not found all the answers to this, it there's a relevant thread please just post the link (and apologies for missing it). Just supposedly had a replacement High Voltage battery fitted by Kia under warranty to our 2016, 30K mile old Soul EV. It went in with a 50 mile...

Lots of "Good to know" in this thread. Tesla MS is the same. In theory it warns about the 12V system, in practice it usually warns just as it dies!

US customer. 2016 Soul EV+, 28836 miles. OBC failed with the external charger error. Kia replacing it under the 10 year warranty. Just posting as another data point. I am out of the country, so cannot check on the details but as it was registered in Feb 2016, I am sure it is the same generation of O...

This is an old thread, but I thought I'd post interwisdom on maintenance in the USA in case someone else worries about it. You can service your own car and keep the warranty. According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act, which is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, it's illegal for manufacturer...

Want to echo what @basscadet said - run a circuit which supports 40A continuous as that covers most things up to a Tesla at a reasonable charge rate (here in CO that's a 50A circuit which will support 40A sustained). Of course if you are installing it, it's just a material cost - but usually you are...
