    12V Aux Battery For 2019 212R or 140R?

    Dropped in a Walmart 121R with 3 year warranty. Could have gone with Costco for $25 less but Costco is open fewer hours and batteries never fail at a convenient time.

    Service Advisor, how in the world

    With the ""bad"" battery, connected my Autel MX808S-TS and connected. SOH showing 100%. Wonder why the dealer couldn't. Installed new battery. Also pulled out the gps/charge device that I had installed for a program though the local utility to track where your charging was being done. That...

    Mustart Level 2 Charger (EVSE) Died 2 years

    Months away from 3 years, wife found the car didn't charge overnight. I assumed it wasn't fully plugged into the car as that has happened. But then I was working near the unit and glanced down to see it off. Checked the breaker and outlet and 220v at both. Reset the breaker just in case and...

    Service Advisor, how in the world

    Last time we had the car in, we asked for the drive battery SOH. Wife picks up the car and says they say the battery is "green",... what? So this time, I specifically say "Hey, we're wanting to capture the drive battery SOH on the invoice, please have the tech connect the scan tool and...

    12V Aux Battery For 2019 212R or 140R?

    Picked up the 2019 from the dealer after the -non-maintenance checkup. They recommended replacing the 12v and stated it has a 0% SOH. Pretty amazing since the car unlocks, powers up, and drives. So I had it checked at 2 auto parts stores and both results showed it was indeed, failed. Looking at...

    Does it provide SOH?

    Chademo Charger Stuck button/ EVGo button mod

    Some time ago I mentioned how we had been stuck, unable to remove the charging handle, many times. After much study, I determined the locking pin (in the charge plug) was gravity released and could easily become stuck with any sort of side-load. Once in this state, the button remains inserted...

    Range finally back up

    My bad, that should have read "127 miles". In other words she saw 127 miles, drove it 3 then when we drove a little later it was again saying 127. We've also seen 129 miles in the last couple of days.

    Range finally back up

    We've been seeing 127 miles after the over night charge the last week and then after a long day of driving and Christmas shopping with a single fast charge early in the day, had 129 yesterday morning. No heat or AC that day of driving so I'm sure that helped the algorithm. One day the wife...

    Soul EV Spy Questions and Answers

    SOH has been unavailable since one of the updates. You do see much of the other data though/ I'll add grabbing a dump to my long list of sht to get done this "vacation" [EDIT] Sent [EDIT] I see the Konnwei is no longer recommended. I've had it since 7/22 and it had been working. More than...

    CHAdeMO charger

    I think I mentioned in the other thread that the new station built close to us has 4 CCS only. One of the original 2 stations we used prior to home charging (10-20 minutes away) closed down but has now re-opened CCS only. Another station 20-30 minutes away that my wife used infrequently also...

    CHAdeMO charger

    $759USD (plus battery). The video, you posted... is for this https://ev-orientrise.com/products/orientrise-ev-adapter-ccs1-to-chademo?variant=49757132652843 That doesn't appear to be the Canadian (A2Z) one nor the Albania one. I know nothing bout them other than having watched the video and read...

    CHAdeMO charger

    Under $800. I'm still waiting to see what NACS does, but would probably jump on one at $500. CCS1 should be around here for a while.

    Range finally back up

    Yes, I mean it would have been nice to have kept a charging log or something. It did not seem like we were getting the estimated miles during the warmer (110+F) months as we had seen prior to the recall. And likewise, I don't think it's ever reported 126 miles. It's only natural that when...

    Range finally back up

    2019, unsure about the battery, we picked it up with 30k miles on the clock. I don't recall battery pack on the service record we were shown. Did both the software updates. No noticeable change after the first, but the second seemed to diminish our estimated range, not by a lot though...

    Range finally back up

    Major cold snap sent us plummeting into the 70s (F) this week. Saturday morning after the overnight charge the 2019 showed 123 miles which dropped to 119 when the AC was selected.

    Charge station wouldn't stop

    I haven't taken a picture. Imagine the button with a flat 1/2 oval attached to give you something to pull on. We were lucky to have gotten stuck outside a big lots one day and I walked the store trying to figure out how to pry the button out when I walked past a package of metal, nail files. 1...

    What Range and Efficiency Should I Expect? Considering a Used Kia Soul EV

    Nileriver is correct on the start of warranty, first purchase. Our 2019 Kia is limited to the EV components and not the other car components because 5 years for non-original purchaser. Highly recommend an extended warranty that covers other components. We were having some suspension issues and...
