Stepping down as a moderator

Hi Everyone, I've traded in my Kia Soul EV for a Hyundai Ioniq 6 so I'm stepping down as a moderator for this forum. Thanks to everyone for their good behaviour over the past few years, I've only had to remove the occasional bit of spam and not get involved in locking threads and stuff like that. Se...

Re: Trouble charging with 220 volt

It's model year dependent. My 2016 has a pin above the J1772 that is driven out when the car is locked, and that stops the latch from being undone. It's still not very secure because you can easily push the pin back in if you have something like a pencil handy.

Re: Range for Fully Charged(?) 2017 Soul

The warranty varies from country to country. You should be able to look it up on your countries Kia website.

Re: Infotainment Spontaneous Reboot?

I suspect an ICE one will not work. The headunit is a major component on the CAN bus. Have you tried reflashing the SD card?

Re: 2016 Soul EV+ ... is my battery eligible for replacement?

What reason did they give for the denial?

I need the weather to warm up a bit more before I can do a recalibration cycle, and that will hopefully drop the SoH into the replacement range.

Re: Soul 2018

Kia starts the battery at 110% health, so a battery at 102% has lost 8% of it's health.

Spam Messages

Thanks to everyone who reports spam posts. We can then ban the users and delete the bad posts.

I've also had someone report a spam private message. Hopefully this isn't the start of a new wave, but if you do get one then please report it so that we can ban that user.

Re: Set Immediate charging to 80%

I've moved this to the forum for the 2014-2019.

You can only do the 80% on the timer. If you turn the timer off and charge immediately then it will charge all the way to 100%. You can always take a look at how long it will take to charge and just unplug it at that point.

Re: Changing battery from 2015 (27kw) to 2018 (30Kw)

There were some videos from Kia showing the factory making the 2nd generation Soul, and I think those mentioned that the chassis was designed to be both an ICE and EV. This is why even though you are not meant to put a tow hitch on a Soul EV, there are still the mounting holes in the frame for one a...
