    Extended warranty recommendations in the UK

    Thanks IanL for the suggestion. Unfortunately Warrantydirect don't offer cover for the traction battery. After some more research it seems that Motoreasy (Plan B Lite Electric Vehicle Warranty) should cover the traction battery and most other expensive parts, for around £275 per year. Hope...

    New 2018 Soul EV with Onboard Charger Failure

    Anyone else with a 2018 Soul EV had an OBC failure? I've been in contact with Kia UK to try to find out if the latest /last batch of replacement OBCs which seem to be dated 2018 are likely to be more reliable than the ones they are replacing on the older Soul EVs (in our case 2016 model), to no...

    Charging Fault error.

    Hi, we've recently had our OBC replaced on a UK 2016 Soul EV. The dealer has fitted a new OBC with the following details taken from the rear label: ECU ASSY - OBC 36400 - 0E240 E010010401 MANDO P14.1E 20J21 03601000 Front label: B010920002 EO30010400(G) DATE 20181128 LOT SEQ:281 My question...
