I recently turned in my 2015 Soul EV+ as it was the end of the lease. I removed the rear view mirror that is an add on. The mirror has Home Link and a compass built in. It is an easy upgrade. Asking $120. Also have a rear Carpeted Cargo Seatback Tray in black that covers the cargo area and...

While I have yet to modify the Kia Soul EV headlights I have been thinking about it. I have a 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid as well that comes standard with halogen low and high beams. I purchased a number of LED lights and found that they did not throw a beam of light as far as the OEMs. I...

Over the years I have tried bike carriers similar to the ones you highlighted. They are either too flimsy or mar up the car's finish. The best way to go that gives the greatest support and capability is to go with the hitch. Even the roof top are a pain. I just checked at Curt Hitches and...

jmarie5000, I seem to recall you said in another post that you would get the same prices for a lease in Atlanta that we were getting in Irvine, CA. Seems like that is not the case. Care to explain what went wrong with your hypothesis? Manny

We have both a Rav4EV with about 120 mile range but no fast charger capability and a Kia Soul EV+ that is good for about 105 miles and has a fast charger. We are going to go to Prescott, AZ to visit family and I am planning on renting a car for the 350 mile drive. We will probably do this once...

Years ago when I had a Leaf I sent my 120 volt charger to EVSEUPGRADE to have them modify it for 240 volts. It worked perfectly. When I returned my lease I went ahead and purchased a 110 volt unit and sold my 240 volt unit. So happy I did that. Now that I have the Rav4ev with a 10 kw charger...

This is my third EV. I agree that leasing is the best way to go with an EV at the present. The technology is changing very rapidly and I expect within three years to see significant improvements in distance capability. I paid $1200 down for a 36 month lease at $247.00 which includes tax and...

Super, can not wait to hear what response you get. Manny

Well now you have the info, so show us how your graduate program has enabled you to twist the dealer's hand. Let us know what happens. Manny

I think CA is getting the brunt of cars at present. I doubt a dealer out of State will match. If you are interested you can probably call them in Irvine and do most of the process over the phone. You can do a credit app and if you need to give them $1000 use your credit card. Then you either...

I just saw an ad from Kia of Irvine. They have 2 Kia Soul+ cars for $179 per month with zero down, 36 months. The catch is that it includes a $1000 discount if you purchased from Kia in Garden Groove within the last year. So figure on putting down $1000 to cover that amount. You are still...

Actually we got it because of the black and red. Really like the contrast. Perhaps not for everyone.... You would have to ask them. I am sure what ever color they think you want will cost more? The black is actually metal flake with some red highlights. But each to their own. I will tell...

Yes that is correct, I did not have a trade in. The dealership has on their website the same deal that they gave me. You will need a high credit score (over 700). I did not qualify for the $1000 current Kia owner so that is why I ended up putting down the $1000. They wanted more, but I...

I purchased it on EBay for $149 delivered. I followed the instructions exactly as written. I too was surprised that the wiring was not already there. In fact I did not understand why the wire connector had 5 wires coming in when the mirror only dims and does not have any other functional...

I purchased a unit that is oem for the 2014 and 2015 Soul. Not specifically for the Soul EV though. I was surprised that the connection for the standard mirror that just has a dimming function had a connector with 5 wires coming in. The problem with that is I do not believe any of the wires...

I climbed in and removed the currently installed day/night mirror. Just one screw. Looks like we are in good shape as the connector has six wires coming in. My guess is that one of them is live all the time (necessary for the homelink to work). I did not put a meter to it, but believe that...

I am also going to add the home link mirror. I am in the process of trying to figure out what wiring I have. So I will take off the current mirror and check to see if there is general wiring available. If not then I will need to run wire to get a (always) hot wire to the home link. The...

I have the same interest in getting a hitch so that I can attach a bike holder. So as soon as someone hears that there is a available unit that fits our cars lets do a group buy. Manny

I just took delivery from Irvine Kia on a Black+ Soul EV. I paid $1200 down and got 36 month lease at $248 per month including tax. This car joins our Toyota Rav4EV. Manny
