For now I've covered the holes with Guerrilla Tape. Looks better than you'd think.

Sorry, could you expand a little on the process that followed? You opened a statement by submitting something to their website? How did you go about describing your issue to them? Did they contact you directly via phone or something? I appreciate your response as I'm basically in the same...

My 2016 former-Teo taxi Soul had the sign removed but they left the giant holes in the roof and simply covered them with a black wrap. Yesterday it hailed here and the wrap tore open over most of the holes, exposing the inside of the roof to the elements. :( So now I need to figure out a...

This is very interesting to me as I am in Calgary, Alberta and there are no EV authorized KIA dealers in Alberta either. Could you describe how you went about getting the car tested, etc. in order to receive the warranty replacement? Did you take it to an local non-EV authorized dealer and...

Ah I see. On my car I usually get to below 10% and back to 100% at least once a week. Every so often it seems to reset the min det value when this happens, which then slowly creeps back up as I drive/charge. Well something doesn't add up, because my SOH has varied from 93% - 79% (and back...

So recently my SOH reading dipped below 80% for the first time (79%). SOH: 79% Max cell det %: 42.3 Min cell det%: 16.9% Then after driving more and dipping to 7% SOC and charging to 100% again it reset to: SOH: 91% Max cell det %: 37.3 Min cell det%: 0.6% I find the SOH to be fairly...

A lot depends on your driving habits. If I drive around town in eco and avoid aggressive or fast driving the range will climb over time to reflect that. If I drive fast in the highway (115-120) it will be reduced.

Couldn't you find a public L2 charger nearby and test using it?

Sounds fantastic! It really seems that KIA has nailed the requirements for an EV that most people could adopt tomorrow without range concerns at all, and without sacrificing performance, ability to cruise at typical highway speeds, etc. Now they just need to make them a lot more readily...

Another update on my 2016 Soul EV+ with 141K mileage. So this morning for the first time my GOM read over 100km estimated range with 100% charge (101km). Outside temp. is 9c. I've been adjusting my driving habits to better suit the car and this has been consistently increasing my range over...

Factory comes with a rather lame IMHO flat tire inflator + leak seal kit. You use a pressurized gas canister that contains leak seal and use it to re-inflate your tire and hopefully block the leak. It also came with a cargo cover/net and a top-shelf that would cover the contents of the "trunk"...

To be honest I have no idea if it's supposed to have a power lift gate. I just assumed so because it was on the fob. It may not... :) EDIT> I checked the manual, no mention of it at all so I'm guessing that it doesn't actually have this feature. I've read elsewhere of some people getting...

Try using a small/thin flathead screwdriver, wrap the end in electrical tape, and try prying the front/far end of the console up from the piece below it on both sides. Once you get it started to lift you should be able to move the screwdriver along the gap towards the shifter and gradually...

Yeah I'm assuming as much just haven't taken the time to access the back of the main screen module yet. When in reverse it goes into the camera "mode" but the screen is just black. I also noticed that my remote trunk latch release on the keyfob doesn't work. If I press and hold the button the...

Thanks for making the effort to post that video after you'd already had yours apart and put back together - appreciated! So I took my central console cover off today and... JACKPOT! ...USB board and 2nd smart key fob were both there exactly as FueledUpRooster indicated. The keyfob was...

This is a remarkable find! :) I will take a look at mine on Sunday and let you know what hidden "treasures", if any, I can uncover.

The warranty is Canada is actually 160,000km. I'm thinking driving it for another few months "normally" and see how it goes. I would hope to get a replacement battery well before the warranty expires. Another problem is that there are no EV certified KIA dealers in my province (Alberta). I...

Oh I don't doubt it but there's a certain reality in needing to keep up with the flow of traffic on a busy highway. I'm not really comfortable driving like miss daisy on when everyone around me is going 120km+. :)

Hi all, I recently bought a used 2016 Soul EV+ out of Quebec that was a used as a taxi for all of its life until now. My understanding is that it was likely DC Fast charged most of the time as well. Car has 140k on the odometer. Currently a full 100% charge will report 83km range on the screen...

Another update. I received, cleaned, and installed the parts I had ordered from the wrecker. This would be a new right mirror assembly (signal light wasn't working on my mirror and I had messed up the black wrap so the original blue paint was showing through). New one is factory black, looks...
