I haven’t studied the job on a SOUL EV, but have swapped in salvaged chargers on the I-MiEV and early LEAF without trouble. $400 at the junkyard and no reprogramming required.

I guarantee the difference will be noticeably better with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier than a rooftop box. Main downside is further reduction of our tenuous FWD Traction in hill-climbing…. I ran back-to back tests with my RWD I-MiEV a decade ago, and then stuck with the hitch rather than roof whene...

Pen pal, I don’t know what country you’re writing from, but if you’re insured to operate the vehicle, your liability coverage is valid in the USA even if you decide to tow 5 tons with a Soul EV while drinking a beer with one hand and holding a phone in the other. Sure, they’ll drop you like a hot po...

The saga continues. 63.4 SOH according to SOULSPY on January 27th became 70.3% at the dealer by March, and now on April 12th, it measures 70.6%! Warming weather and sitting at 100% seems to only boost this SOH algorithm.. For good measure I used it on a max range run the night before, and a full rec...

I'm in the same boat as Bernard, south of Seattle with a 74 kilomile 2016 that hit 63.4% SOH on 1/27/22 when I set my dealer appointment for warranty EValuation. A job change meant that I went from over 151 miles per day of driving (with 4 DCFC) to largely virtual work, and usage dropped to maybe 12...

I’m in Graham, WA; S of Puyallup with 52k miles on our 2016, black w red roof. No other Soul EV owners active in the Seattle EV Association, so sign on, folks! I commuted 75 miles one-way in it for a year before upgrading a 2011 LEAF to 40 kWh as a demonstration project for http://www.EV-works.com, ...

JejuSoul, thanks for your technical references. I'm curious about boosting cabin heat with a hot water reservoir. In my older EVs, I've used a 5 gallon steel tank (outboard motor fuel tank) full of hot water for supplemental cabin heating. According to my calculations, that 43 lbs delivered more sen...

I used Soul Spy when test driving my 2016 with 24k miles in October. It reported 99.7% SOH. The car was sedately driven for 36 months by my friend, literally the preacher's wife. Today after 6000 more miles of hard driving, it reports 100.7%! As luck would have it, tonight's commute was above my nor...

Thank you JeroenE. Even while breaking in new winter tires, I've not gone below 17% SOC on my commute, and after pumping up the tires to maximum sidewall pressure and reducing speed to 100 kph with only seat heat, steering wheel heat and minimal defrosting, I typically arrive with 23% SOC after 75 m...

I will be a good test case for your good buy, as I'm entering my second month of 2016 SOUL EV ownership, purchased off-lease with 24k miles. My first modern EV (I have several antiques and converted EVs) was a 2012 Mitsubishi I-MiEV that didn't exceed 20% degradation until after 100,000 miles (with ...
