We're a couple of days short of 5 months into a three-year lease so I expect there will be several attractive options when our Soul EV's lease is done. The Tesla Model 3 is of course of interest. By then it should be real and have some kind of a track record (hopefully a good one). And by then...

No.... and when I went to look on the web page it said I'd already downloaded the update (which I had done with the January update). Odd that they'd be telling us about it in email so much after the release. I've noticed the faster response of the backup camera (both coming on and shutting off...

We got a Clipper Creek hardwired level 2 EVSE after getting by on the Level 1 for about a month. It charged the Soul EV from the lowest we've ever taken it (7% - after a round trip from home to a concert in Olympia without recharging) in exactly four hours. We just received the $500 rebate from...

....so what color is your Mazda3? Mine is a dark charcoal grey metallic (I forget what designer name Mazda calls it).... ;) We also currently have a dark blue 1998 Protege which is now surplus....

It doesn't help that the state keeps changing the rules on the sales tax exemption and you might be caught in the middle of that. Something changed in July (I don't recall the specifics now) but I think they were supposed to start charging tax on the price above a certain amount. We got ours at...

In my head, I considered a Nissan LEAF, but really once I found out there was a Soul EV and looked at the specs and how they packaged the battery and such, I went straight there. I'd had a gas Soul as a rental car for a week or so a couple of years ago so was already favorably impressed with the...

Well, I checked with the dealer's parts department and found that the cost of the necessary interior pieces to do what I want is on the order of $600 for the two side panels that would have to be replaced, plus the cover itself. This was done by looking up those parts for an EV+ which has them...

I also have a 2013 Mazda3, which has a similar keyless entry/operation mode. It, too, cries loudly when I stop at the mailbox and step out of the car while it's still running (though it does it with a long succession of loud beeps rather than one long tone). While this is mildly irritating, I...

I have seen this blinking of the display on a couple of occasions now (the car has about 1700 miles on it). Both times it was a really wet day with lots of rain (not that unusual in the Seattle area, even if it's over 60 degrees F and clear outside now). I am happy to read in this thread that...

That's exactly what I need. My EV doesn't have the fittings. In looking at your "fittings" picture, it appears that the shelf ends/ attachments are part of the interior trim assembly back there - so I'd have to have the whole panels replaced with the ones that have the shelf supports. I will...

We just took delivery of our new Soul EV on this past Thursday evening - lease from Kia of Puyallup. This is our first electric car (though I've flown electric powered model aircraft for over 30 years and have watched batteries go from NiCd to NiMH to various lithium chemistries). Have yet to...

Yes - it's an EV, not an EV+. That will be a question then when the salesman next touches base with me (which I'm expecting in a day or three). It's odd that this cover is thought to be a high-end feature. My base model 1988 Mazda 323 (and every other 323 hatchback I've ever seen) had one, as...

There is a tray cover at the bottom of the cargo area, yes, that is hinged in the middle. What I am looking for is something that is at the level of the top of the back seat (or at the base of the headrests), which makes an enclosed (and, more importantly, hidden) cargo volume that something...

Brand new here. My wife and I just took delivery of our first electric vehicle - a Soul EV - last night. Overall we are REALLY impressed so far with it in many ways. But one relatively minor thing that seems to be missing is a cover for the area between the rear seat and the tailgate. My...
