My experience with Kia's Battery Recall service has been nothing short of abysmal. Despite returning twice after triggering the abnormal battery cell condition, I have found Kia's service to be uncooperative, persistently denying the existence of any issue. I am beginning to suspect that this may n...

Chademo has a 2 way capability and Soul 2016-2019 can do this. the problem is the V2G units are ridiculously expensive. I want to use my car as a backup generator but the whole system is prohibitively expensive. You can AliExpress a V2L unit off Chademo but not rated for high wattage. Kind of like t...

hate to say it but join the club. 2016-2019 Solu EV with 3 G modems had head units that were outsourced and had a modem built into the headunit as 1 piece of tech. With 3G going away, so was Kia Connect formerly UVO. You might want to look into a crashed car unit from a salvage place. The only cars ...

so i got the new pack in January for my 2016 and the letter came in last month saying even my new pack can catch fire so I believe we'll get another pack soon enough... such a mess. I am regularly seeing 116-118 miles of range with the new pack. fingers crossed and not parked near the house!

I believe there's a gearbox fluid change at 75K miles. and coolant at 120K mi. for the rest it's all inspect for leaks and damage, wear and tear. Cabin filter every 10K :shock: and that's about it. I'd suggest the Soulspy app and Konnwei KW902 ELM327 OBD2 dongle and you can read SOH and general thin...

Dear Soul Spy, I'm glad to say your app gave me the insight into SOH, prompting me to go to the dealer and ask to have a formal EV battery read out. Soul Spy had me at 69.7% and by the time I got to the dealer is was down to 66%. I have a new battery, installed in 30 days from first warranty claim. ...

I have an older Thuile square bar rack and bought feet for the 2nd gen Soul and works just fine. You take a hit on range for sure. I drive to local trails and beach so Fatbikes and surfboards are a thing and it works.

couple things reading this through. Nothing on the Dash tells you anything but SOC, state of charge. SOH State of Health can be read by KDS KIA Diagnositc System, dongle and ipad device and is a line on the report showing all things SOC and SOH. 2017 should be well under warranty 100K mi and 10 year...

My Battery was replaced this week. After install GOM still showed 54mi. They did SA473 BMS FATC update and drove it 40mi and the car now shows 94mi at 98% in 45F weather. It still might get better with more driving. I just put 55 mi + on it driving back from dealer and had 54% charge left. I did dis...
