Hello, I have 2015 Soul EV, I had a similar problem. I changed 3 cells. 6 months later, I changed the whole battery. I could drive like 80 Km before I had to replace it. If you want some explanation how to understand voltages, battery capacity .... etc. Drop me a message containing your skype...

Hello, Can anyone with quite a low mileage/high soh post a cell map at any low state of charge ? Like under 5% SOC. It will be helpful for me. My cell voltages are 3.42 and the car shows 1% SOC. THANKS

I am a fan of trying all modes, I own my Soul 2015 since 3 years. I tried all the modes (normal with ECO off, ECO on, B mode) at the same route, trying to optimize the energy consumption. You know what!, I noticed no difference at all !!. It is all about how much you press your pedal, and how...

Mine too does the same 95,000 Km on it. Very normal of Kia's, :D. A month ago I drove a RAV4 ev 2014. With 180,000 Km. It handles much better. No sounds. Battey still holds enough charge to cover 170 Km. If Toyota continued that model it would outsell all electric cars maybe except Tesla Kia...

Hello, The car can make it even in winter. When my 2015 car had a good battery it could travel like 90 miles in the very cold days in winter with climate control on. But that is not the point. With this driving range, you will use most of your battery capacity in many days, this way your...

Here there are few shops who can fit almost any battery to your car, they modify the hardware and even install a custom cooling system. they give you warranty up to 2 years for a certain degradation.

Dear Friends, My car battery is getting worse. So I will have to replace it in a month. There are several options in the market here, but I do not know which one to select. So if you have any information about which cars have the most durable batteries then please advise. My car is Kia Soul...

Hello, I opened this topic in order to explore the status of the electric cars popularity in each country. So please, take some time and write about the spread of electric cars. In my country (Jordan - middle east), most of the electric cars are imports from California, other states in the US...

Totally 370 $$ Each cell is sold for 57$, Labor charge is 142$ The cells are used ones, but of excellent SOH, the shop got them from a wrecked Soul EV with less than 15,000 Km ODO meter. I know a guy who did the same 8 months ago, and his car is still fine, it travels around 175 km's on a...

Car: Kia Soul EV+ 2015, Imported from California USA. I have mentioned my car battery status a few months ago in this topic. Previously the degradation stopped during winter, the SOH showed even an improvement from 59.9% to 63.4%. But once the summer started, the degradation accelerated. It...
