The navigation computer has both dealer mode and engineering mode. With the right codes you can enter these and have a look, but there really isn't much to see. The temptation however is that from this mode you can gain root access and hack the system. I strongly advise against doing this...

Yes. This is very likely. Europe and the UK do not sell the ICE version of the Soul but the US does. There's still a question as to whether or not the 2025 Soul EV actually exists, because numerous car review channels claim to be reviewing it. The Internet has become a much stranger space since...

There are details on how much power HVAC draws while charging here. :- Pre heating the Cabin Scheduled heating of the cabin at 0°C. Conclusion = Need a 3,1 kW EVSE setting if you don't want loose the battery charged over night at 100% when you pre-heat the...

Firstly you are in Canada, so have an 8 year warranty. For a 2016 it is now too late to get a warranty battery replacement. You can ignore any values for SOH given by the app. If you want to keep this car for as long as possible you are going to have to be gentle in driving and charging this...

I don't think so. Presumably you are referring to the Soul EV Maxx in the UK. From a Kia Soul EV review in Auto Express in August 2023 In the UK the Soul EV has now been replaced by the EV3 My Question remains : Does the Soul EV 2025 actually exist?

Does the Soul EV 2025 actually exist? I checked Kia's websites in the US, UK and Canada but none have it. ChatGPT however does make reviews of this car.

I do not have a battery heater in my car so I cannot give you a good answer on charging techniques in cold weather. But a couple of things to consider. Trickle charging is much less efficient than level 2. see Onboard charger : less efficience at low power ? Trickle charging may not provide...

Yes. These videos are very popular. He often spoofs that many of those watching are EV Haters by putting a SUN logo at the front. The SUN is a right wing tabloid in the UK that runs many idiotic anti EV stories. He makes money from these videos so good luck to him. But EV drivers should take the...

I do not use portable power and no one on this forum has ever mentioned using it. One person who does regularly use it is TeslaBjorn in his range testing series. These tests where he deliberately runs out of power give the impression that this happens a lot. It is actually quite rare...

Electric cars don't have an engine. Are these posts in the wrong forum? Or are posters using the word engine to mean motor? Or are posters using the word engine to mean transmission?

There is a display on the dash that shows how much power is going in/out of the battery.

Going up the car will not be able to sustain acceleration. Power will drop off. The car may turtle. Going down the car will not be able to sustain regeneration. Power will drop off. The physical brakes will take over. No. SoulSpy has no way of knowing the cell chemistry of the cells. For the...

The best way to test the car is to drive it up a steep hill. No need to drive fast. Just watch what happens when you accelerate on the way up, or even better watch what happens when you decelerate on the way down. I assume you are in Canada, probably BC. RC180 is a recall that only applies to a...

The most important data is how far the car can drive on a full battery. Measured by driving not by trusting the GOM. I assume you are in the US and still have the original HV battery. It is likely that at some point in the next two years you will get a warranty HV battery replacement. This...

okay - my bad eyesight. So it isn't a new set of cells. You are totally wrong though about the way OBD apps work. If you want to know more try looking for my codes for using Torque Pro. Or read through the original Soul Spy thread. ( Not the same as the SoulEVSpy app thread. ) I don't recommend...

The sticker on the EPCU is the correct one for your original car. 12.2E That you OBD now has a sticker 11.1E suggests that they put in a re-manufactured old box to replace the failed original one. Most people got a completely new box when their OBD failed. But this is an expensive option if all...
