Possibly but that is a problem. I had a Volt that I charged for three years with no problem. It maybe overly sensitive. I guess I will eventually get this one replaced and find out then. I will keep this Amazon one though as a good replacement. Has a nice long cable.

I bought it from Amazon. Here is the link: amzn.to/2oPi017 The reason I chose this one is because it has an extensive diagnostic reporting system. It will indicate 5 types of errors. I thought this would be helpful in the event the problem was actually my wiring, which it turned out not to be.

OK here is the latest on my issue. Remember, this problem started on day one after delivery of the vehicle. That shows that they did not do a thorough test of the EV and it's charger. As I have said the external charger would fault after a few hours. After driving the 70 miles to my dealer they...

Unlikely that is my case, bought the car end of February in New England, garage well below 50 degrees until just recently and it is probably 60 today. Just went out and felt the charger, barely warm. Of course this time it has been charging for a little over 4 hours, probably it's longest stent...

So here is my update. They said they showed an OBC fault and ordered the part. Took about a week to get in. Tuesday they installed the new OBC. I asked them to make sure they charged at 110 volts overnight. I could tell by checking my UVO app they did not. It was on 220 during the afternoon...

Back from the dealer. It is the onboard charger after all. They confirmed it will charge at 440 and 220 but not 110. I suggested to the dealer that in the future rather than just charge at 220 to get the car ready they should charge half way using 110 and then finish up at 220. That would have...

When I try and warm the cabin of my Kia Soul EV I get the message saying "Climate control could not be started. Please plug your vehicle in and try again." WTF. You aren't required to be plug in to warm the cabin are you? How is that any good if I am finishing up my appointment and want the...

As it is 70 miles away I wanted to wait till it is convenient. I am heading that way Thursday and am leaving it overnight. I will report back. I think it is the actual portable charger. As an aside, as I stated, this happened on my first day of ownership. I called Kia and complained that I...

As a new owner I am looking over old post. How has your experience been?

As a Model S owner, thus dealing with Mr. Musk, I feel quite sure the 3 will be not only late but way above $35K when you equip it with even the most basic of options. I don't know why he continues to over promise. Elon said the 8.1 update would be out in December, then January, it is now...

I would assume a non-EV dealer could do any repairs where the equipment overlaps the ICE version. Window switches, etc. Of course the meat and potatoes (and most likely to fail) would be the powertrain. I am about 70 miles from my dealer and after two days I had a faulty 110 volt charger. Kia...

Plugged into the same circuit (with no extension cord) that I used to use to charge my Volt with it's 110 charger. I cannot use a different outlet without using an extension cord. I guess since all is well level 2 wise I will just drop it at the dealer and let them try charging it on 110.

I don't know what any of that means.

We have had our car just a couple of days and I am a bit perplexed at a problem we are having. Using the Kia 110 volt charger I can only charge for a few hours before the charger lights it's fault light. I don’t think there is any warning message on the Kia’s dash at this point. I charged my...
