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

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...

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

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...

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

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.

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.

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...

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

This appears to be a DIY fix to one of the circuit boards in the EPCU. Kia 366010E145 Epcu Assembly EPCU = Electronic Power Control Unit The lowest of the 3 boxes in the image below. The faulty board seems to be the EPCU Gatedrive The main board is the EPCU itself on top. The EPCU Gatedrive is...

Thanks for the correct link. I've updated my earlier post..

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.

This is the same brand that TeslaBjorn is selling, previously discussed here :- Anyone try a CCS to Chademo adapter Shop site - Use code "Teslabjorn" to get 5 % discount.
