    Are rear passengers’ window and seat heater controls supposed to be backlit?

    I never noticed this before and now I’m wondering if the rear seat window and seat heater controls are backlit or illuminated? I know the front seat ones are. The other night, well after sunset, my rear seated passengers asked me where the seat heater controls are. I said “Right in front of...

    Just picked up Soul EV 2020 Limited in Vancouver

    As of August I'm achieving 6 km (3.7 mile) of range per 1 kWh, so I expect to average 5.5 km (3.4 mile) of range per 1 kWh over each year.

    Right! I think Thule will still have a workable solution, but rails would've been nice.

    Just picked up Soul EV 2020 Limited in Vancouver

    Still loving the vehicle, and here's a quick follow up, related to the vehicle's range. I've had the car for 5 weeks, and where I live it's mild winter conditions. That means the seat heaters, steering wheel heater, and cabin heater are typically used while I'm driving. I also have the Winter...

    Appreciate the update. Is your 20A at 120V (single phase) or 240V (dual phase)?

    Just picked up Soul EV 2020 Limited in Vancouver

    After I picked up my 2020 Soul EV, I was a little surprised and confused when I first came to this forum, then visited the US Kia website, to discover that my car is being described as a future 2021 model for US customers. They're up here in Canada and include the 120V trickle charter, Winter...

    City and Cruise type chargers?

    The manual estimates a charge time of 9 hours and 35 minutes for the “Cruise-type” (i.e.64kWh) battery, using a level 2 AC charger. What’s frustrating is that the manual doesn’t state the performance specs of the level 2 charger assumed to be used (e.g. 20A, 30A, 50A?) in the charge time...

    level 2 charging cables/charging rate

    I've been delving into this for a few days now. Of course I want the 50A 240V circuit, but the 200A service upgrade and surgery necessary to my home (100A service is recessed into the home, not surface mounted) is beginning to look cost-prohibitive. I'm going to see if I can squeeze out one...

    Kia Soul EV Premium 2020 Trip Vancouver to Whistler - BC, Canada

    Appreciate the trip details and outcomes :D . I just got the same model a week ago. Mine is garage kept at home and work and I'm driving 34-40km 5 days a week. Trying to decide if I should trickle charge (120V) daily (to 80% as manual recommends) or just wait until charge is down to about...
