I'm considering a used 2017 Soul EV, but I'm worried that the battery might be junk.
It's got about 55k miles on it. When I turned it on, the dash said 43mi left in the charge, but looked like 75% on the gauge.
I downloaded the EVNotify app and tried to get an ODBII reading and it seems to be telling me that the battery state of health is only 18%.
I've never owned an electric vehicle before, so I'm not sure what to expect. I would appreciate any advice you can give. The car is $12,000. If the battery is this degraded, might it be eligible for a replacement under warranty? Am I testing it correctly? Thank you.
