    Tesla Fast Charge Adapter

    The guy from Longgood whatever company said if it doesn’t work will have to figure out how to get a log to them and their engineers will work out a firmware update or something. Very interesting way of doing things but at least the guy is responsive…

    2016 Soul EV replacement battery - range unchanged and voltage question.

    I just got my Nokian Remedy WRG5s installed, and consumption shot up to 26-27 kWh/100km - about 2mi/kwh LOL (my Canadian 2016 doesn’t have the option to change distance units, but does have temperature unit change…) I’ll break the tires in first, and drive it around some to get the GOM to...

    2016 Soul EV replacement battery - range unchanged and voltage question.

    Hihi I've got the same spec 2016 with a remanufactured battery (Dec 2023), but I have been consistently noticing that I'm ending up with more range (GOM is sometimes right and more often wrong, hence the name I guess, though Car Scanner says SOH is 110%). I have gotten it down to about 30% -...

    Analysis of a replacement battery.

    Hi Jejusoul, just curious - is it only the new batteries that have the increased range (218km)? My 2016's replaced remanufactured battery 37510E4252R has about 155/160km with HVAC on the GOM, 169km without (early December in Vancouver, around -10 to 10C) I drove it around and tried to figure...

    Tesla Fast Charge Adapter

    I placed an order for one of those, just got an update that it'll ship in about 10 days. The guy on alibaba.com (whatever Chinese company it is) is pretty communicative so far, and has said if you encounter any issues, just get him a log and they should be able to push an update to the firmware...

    Allow me to introduce myself...

    Hello Spidermonkey! My 2016 also got a replacement battery just before the holidays. Getting about 160km/99mi in the winter (though I do note I am driving on winter (EV rated) tires pretty much year round since I kind of hated the idea of absolutely no grip on the original tires (which I pretty...

    Self-introduction

    LOL that was just stupidity on my part. I decided to take a route on the first day of a snowstorm down a relatively steep hill which ended in a roundabout. Didn't quite make the "round" part of the roundabout, almost hit a tree but instead turned and slammed the passenger side wheel into the...

    Questions about purchasing a 2016 Soul EV.

    nice. forgot to say mine already had the BMS recall done since Kia Vancouver already did their review while the battery was being installed, so we'll see how it goes. I'm getting (at 100%) about 156-160km on the GOM, but I haven't really driven it down to the single digit %s like Bjorn did on...

    Questions about purchasing a 2016 Soul EV.

    I bought mine from the beginning, and had the HV battery replaced in Dec 2023 with a remanufactured pack. Tested with some small one day road trips with DC fast charging where needed. had OBD plugged in and checked via Car Scanner/ABRP - Temps seem normal, voltage on the cells is consistent...

    Battery Upgrades?

    Going to revive this one since I'm interested in eventually having an upgraded battery (and maybe even update to NACS - at least for the ones in North America). It might be hard though since the BMS needs to be updated along with the batteries, and changing the OBC might also be an issue...

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    Thanks JejuSoul! I assume that means they already did the fix since at the time of pickup there wasn’t any more recalls that they needed to do?

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    I’m a little concerned since I can’t even find my battery pack part number on the forums anywhere. I have a 2016 that just had a warranty replacement of a battery pack. On my service report it says that they used 1x 37510-E4252R which I assume is a remanufactured one, but below the line Part#...

    HV battery swap - miles not changing

    sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but was the OP able to resolve this? Also, how did you manage to up the battery?

    Self-introduction

    Hello! Melvin here - I’ve owned my 2016 Soul EV from July 2016 and have owned it ever since :) it’s been through a lot, replaced frame, new suspensions, new better battery (under warranty) I hope eventually someone figures out how to improve the older soul batteries with more battery for the...

    Car stuck at dealer for 3 months awaiting warranty battery replacement (2017 Soul EV)

    I recently had my 2016 tested by Kia Vancouver (Canada) for a deprecated battery (in September, and they put in the order to have a new battery made/sent/etc) in the meantime they had started the work order and let me have the car back while the battery was in progress. Was actually pretty good...
