That's pretty crazy. I'd seriously consider buying elsewhere to avoid having to deal with that dealership in the future. Having said that, you could test-drive the car and use an ODBII bluetooth dongle + SoulSpy Android app to see the values yourself (assuming they having reset the BMS...

With the first coldish weather of the year upon us I've taken some updated SoulSpy readings. Mileage 145949.8km SOH 58.5% Max cell det 49.7% Min cell det 25.2% So yeah, it's time to file a warranty claim. (I can post pics of all the SoulSpy data if you'd like)

More important than the mileage difference, IMHO, is the actual condition of the tires, suspension, and brakes on these cars. The higher mileage ones might have fresher tires on them, for example. Did you have an opportunity to examine these aspects?

Well 20000km extra mileage isn't much really. I think you're over-thinking it (I do this too). :) Sounds like you're game for the "adventure" of dealing with a warranty battery replacement yourself, and well situated to do so geographically. I'd say go for the best deal you can negotiate then...

Another data-point on my 2016. It takes approx. 10.5 hours to charge my car from 20%-100% on my 120v Level I charger (approx. 1.4 kW). According to this charging calculator (https://www.homechargingstations.com/ev-charging-time-calculator/), that would correspond to approx. 17kWh of battery...

The reason I was considering waiting a bit longer is to see that it continues to decline to avoid a "borderline" situation with KIA. The range now is just enough for my daily commute. If necessary I can also 120v charge during the day at work but it's a bit of a PIA to take the charger back and...

I have another update on my car's battery. For ease of reading here are my previous posts in this thread... Mileage is now 145138km. GOM range has been dropping a bit and now getting 90-100km with similar temps and conditions as last post. Max cell det. is now: 42.6% Min cell det. is now...

I noticed the other day while monitoring the car while my son was driving down the highway that the motor temp got as high as 53c. I have also noticed that the odbc.temp3 temp rises to 53c while Level 2 charging and then drops back down to high 30s again. Can anyone confirm that these temps...

I would suggest that you explain your concerns to the dealer you purchased from and request an extension to the return time and mileage or you will have no choice but to return it. They may be more accommodating to save the deal.

I went ahead and painted my white wheel covers black. Love it! http://www.mykiasoulev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1126

I didn't care for all the white on my 2016 Soul EV so took the plunge and painted the white plastic covers a nice satin black. This was a bit of work: Removing each wheel (twice if you don't have 4 jacks to hold the car up). Removing the covers (15 screws per wheel). Cleaning them thoroughly...

Mine self-corrected, I just started it normally and the time was there again. Strange.

Some kind of GPS system glitch yesterday? Luckily my Carplay iPhone still knows what time it is... ;)

Something strange going on, I just started having this issue today in my 2016.

Hi, I PMed you regarding the Soul Chip. :)

Hi, I finally got a chance to install the new app off the Play Store (v0.1.1-4522) and have the following readings: Max cell det pct: 38.8 Min cell det pct: 0.1 SOH %: 69.1 Is this the expected/correct value? Thx.

Mine is almost exactly the same in terms of year/mileage, and range. I'll watch for your updates.

For the record I recently picked up this one and it seems to work fine with SoulSpy: Panlong OBD2 OBDII Bluetooth Scanner Car Diagnostic Code Reader for Android https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07C3D2NZ7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Congrats and glad it was a straightforward job to replace it. One thing to consider is that the fan simply pulls cabin air through the battery pack, so the cooling effectiveness will depend on the temperature (and moisture content) of the cabin air. Are you able to run the A/C while it is...

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! :) Good luck with your battery replacement.
