I have two 2015 Soul EVs. One has a SIM card the other does not. The difference is seen every time you start the car. With a SIM card you get a UVO advert at startup, which will reappear every 30 days. Clicking 'Later' makes it go away for a month. Without a SIM card the 'Later' button doesn't...

jcaz2019SoulEV : I don't know if you are being deliberately deceptive or just making a mistake. But please stop posting these false statements about the battery warranty. It is easy to disprove your claim above by looking at the second page of the warranty. From 2017 Warranty and Consumer...

It's obviously false. There's loads of reports on this forum of second owners getting replacement batteries under warranty.

My blue car a MY2015 is 9 1/2 years old with the original battery. Note this is original battery / original BMS. No recall. No software updates. I took it in to Kia today, and left it there to be checked. I got a phone call from the tech guy who said a replacement battery had been authorised...

It is now over 4 1/2 years since I had the battery replaced on my white 27kWh 2015 Soul EV. Am still getting range like yours. The replacement battery for a 2015 Soul contains 96 E400 cell-pairs. This is not a 30kWh battery pack. That has 100 E400 cell-pairs. But as you can see from the range...

The recent recall updated the BMS software. It is highly likely that the algorithm used by the BMS for your car a 2018 has changed. The algorithm used by the BMS for my car a 2015 has definitely changed. The 27kWh cars with replacement battery got new BMS hardware and a new wiring harness. The...

I used Kia but this is not necessary. Any shop could do it.

Are you driving in reverse?

Cars in warm climates don't come with battery heaters. I don't have one. So I can't answer the question how important it is. Presumably you are in a cold climate because you have a car with a heater. And presumably you live in the Northern Hemisphere and it is about to be winter. If so then you...

I had a look at the battery warranty to check what is included. So yes the Gear Drive Unit is included. But that is for when it breaks not for regular maintenance. I guess if the seal leaks then that counts as a fault. I have two 2015 Soul Evs. Both cars had the gear oil changed after...

Hi Espen, !2V battery problems are common on all newer cars not just EVs because of the number of electrical systems within the car that are permanently on. For example the retractable side mirrors that will open as you approach the car. EVs suffer more than ICE vehicles because the 12V battery...

In most European countries the battery warranty has a 7 year, 150,000km limit to 70% SOH. In Canada it is 8 years, 160,000km to 70% SOH This car is out of warranty, and may well have a bad battery. (MY2016 was sold from August 2015 to July 2016 - hence out of warranty unless the car was sitting...

Hi Markinson Thanks for posting that link. It's always interesting to see some of the stranger side of the Internet. Firstly I am assuming this 64kWh replacement is a scam. I will look at the detail to see if any of it could make sense but at first glance it just appears to be an AI generated...

Great news. $17,500 buyout. 🥳 Here are the latest KBB prices for a 2017 My 2015 would get about $8,500 which shows buyers aren't taking the warranty expiration into account. It also seems the battery replacement horror stories on this site and others have had little to no effect on used pricing.

- It is now over 4 1/2 years since I had the battery replaced on my white 27kWh 2015 Soul EV. On December 30th 2019 the car had driven 86,993km before getting a new battery. On September 4th 2024 the odometer reads 145,010km. That's 58,017km on the new battery. I took the car in to have its...

I'm closing this thread. It's six years old. The software for this has never been shared. The instructions given are :- Ukraine has been at war for the last 2 years. I don't think it would be a good idea to do this. Maher - I suggest you try to find someone in your region who can help you.

Wow - an old Ray EV in Jordan. Mine was a 2012 so it's not my old one. I never updated the navi on mine so don't have an old copy. I'll have a look on Korean sites to see if I can find the update. - One feature I liked on the Ray EV - a very funny efficiency screen. You get more baby penguins if...

Here's a previous comment from :- Anyone resolved "Check Electric Vehicle System" car shudders and stops?. I took the car in to KIA to have it checked yesterday. The official KIA estimate of SOH was 79.5% The GOM now shows 140km. Edit : 5 days later the GOM is now 130km The Kia tech told me...

For Jeju spring and fall are both optimal. 18-20C. No need for air con. The data I show is from then, because I prefer not to charge the car to 100% at all during the summer. The replacement battery is 96 cells same as before. It is not a re-manufactured battery. They are all brand new cells.

My blue car is a MY2015. It is 9 years old with the original battery. This is not a car with a replacement battery. It still has the original E375 cells. 180km Gom range on this car is ridiculous. My white car is also 9 years old. It is also a MY2015. This car has a replacement battery with the...
