    Range - Charge Discrepancy

    Before assuming the most likely option can you confirm how far the car can actually drive.

    2015 Soul EV Batteries replaced with Re-Man battery

    I have two 2015 Soul EV's. Both have had the battery pack replaced under warranty. The warranty period was not extended by having a new pack. It continued to be ten years after the original purchase. My cars will soon be out of warranty. My warranty replacements were for degradation and a...

    Battery Concerns on a Used Soul EV

    This is a sensible request. But you don't say how it was actually tested 'under load'. I would suggest testing it by driving up a steep hill or mountain. Anyway "Good luck with your new Soul" as well. And welcome to the Forum

    2 factor authentication does not work for me at owners.kia.com

    I too have no idea what the UVO acronym stands for. Kia re-branded this 'Kia Connect' a few years ago. The service gives you an Internet connection through a SIM card at the back of the navigation screen. In theory this connection gives you the following services - In practice the quality of...

    Please write more on whether your UVO actually works. No one has written about it here for years. It was a minor topic back in 2015, but I haven't heard much about it since. The UVO connection in the US was a 3G service using Verizon. In the U.S. cellphone carriers discontinued 3G service in...

    Level 2 charger and Level one charger are not charging

    The OBC may be broken. You can get it replaced under warranty. This was a common problem ten years ago. See :- Charging Fault error.

    My 2018 Kia Soul EV+

    Do you have any ideas on why your first pack did so much worse than the second. It is your experience with the second pack that is much more common here.

    My 2018 Kia Soul EV+

    Great. Seems unlikely. The 2018 packs do not degrade anywhere near as fast as the older 27kWh packs. Unless of course you live in Arizona.

    Battery heating question - Cold Weather

    I do not have a battery heater in my car so I cannot give you a good answer. Your idea sounds good but only real experience will tell us if it works. I loved the TeslaBjorn videos where he pumped cold air into the pack to see if that would improve cooling. It didn't work, but we wouldn't have...

    Charge Level and Transmission flush

    If you mean recommended by Kia. 1. Kia doesn't give a level for charging. 2. For me the local Kia service does it every 7 years or 120,000km whichever comes first. Details here :- Fingers crossed she's at the dealer

    Part For Sale Adapter: WITHDRAWN

    Probably because the second one is ordered direct from China and cuts out the European middle-men. Am not sure why the original American poster on this thread is selling the European CCS2 version and not the American CCS1 version.
