Here's my comment to you from April. :- SoulSpy no longer displaying SOH? It seems that the battery cells in the 30kWh version are not heat tolerant enough to survive fast charging in Arizona heat. The best evidence we have that air cooling the battery does not work well is from TeslaBjorn in...

The settings option looks like this on my car (a MY2015).

Good news. You have the car back with a 'new battery. The "Check Electric Vehicle System" Error comes on for multiple reasons. There is no single reason. This is the first time we have seen it related to a highly depleted 400V battery. By far the most common reason is a problem with the 12V...

This change first happened with the Nissan Leaf in 2014. Kia followed in mid 2016. ( = MY2017 ) Neither Nissan or Kia have ever acknowledged why they made the change. To understand the history I suggest you read this post from April 2014 :- Limiting the Charge to 80% There used to be a good...

I took my cars to Kia because it was the 7 year service, but the gear oil change could be done anywhere. There was no need for a new drain plug.

Here is a copy from an old post of mine written on Aug 1, 2020 :- TMS Behavior No one with a 30kWh Soul EV has ever replied to this. I have not checked this data recently with the updated BMS. (Reset twice due to the safety recall.) I also recommend this recent thread :- Battery Cooling fan...

Here is the top half of his list of EVs with the least degradation. The 28kWh Ioniq EV is doing really well, even if we discount the mistake he made saying the original usable capacity was 26kWh not 28kWh. TB test results : - Excel data here

See this thread :- Anyone try a CCS to Chademo adapter

RT - I agree with you the 27kWh Soul EVs have failed to last. The original E375 cells in the battery pack do not have the longevity to make this a sustainable car. For me cars need to last over 20 years to be considered 'sustainable'. Ian - the 30kWh cars with the newer E400 cells have done...

New TeslaBjorn videos : The answer to the first question "Will this work?" was no. But it was certainly an interesting experiment.

Previously I have written this :- Analysis of a replacement battery. The data came from 3 cars. My blue 27kWh 2015 Soul EV. Original BMS. Data read 4 years ago. SOH = 96% My white 27kWh 2015 Soul EV after replacement battery. 2nd BMS. Data read 4 years ago. Norwegian 30kWh Soul EV. Original...

The recent recall updated the BMS software. It is quite likely that the algorithm used by the BMS has changed. The PIDs we use to query the BMS also sometimes change. But the GOM software is in the Navi computer. The trip data is stored here. The software for this has not been changed. The...

The answer is yes. On the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database Under Transport Canada Recall # 2020-310 they state "On certain vehicles, the transmission could be damaged if the driver shifts to the "P" (Park) position before the vehicle has stopped moving. As a result, the vehicle...

There is still considerable debate on whether replacing single cells or modules in a degraded pack will work. (For more than a few months at least.) I now tend to believe it isn't a good option. The best bet if you are out of warranty is to find a complete pack from a scrapped car. I recently...

MY2017 started in July 2016. That is why MY2016 are just at this limit in Canada. Obviously it depends on when the car was actually sold. Some dealers sold their cars quickly, others were sitting on the lot for a year. The warranty starts from when the car is sold, not when it was made.

Yes. In Canada the warranty is 8 years. The On Board Charger would be included. MY2016 are just at this limit in Canada. It is only Korea and the US that have the better ten year warranty.

A previous suggestion was TEYES. I don't know if this was ever fully integrated with our car. see comment :- Replacement HeadUnit

If you want the EV functionality it has to be the EV version. Paying 4k just to get the charge timer seems pointless. Navigating to the nearest charging station can be done on any mapping software. Also why restrict yourself to the regular 2017 soul (not ev), any navigation unit that fits in...

This is an old thread that details the reverse engineering of the CAN bus. The PIDs discovered form the basis of all the OBD apps that were developed later. I temporarily reopened this thread and put this comment so that it is easier to find in future. For questions about the SoulEVSpy app use...

This is a really great project. Many of the Kia EVs have already been included. See dalathegreat /Battery-Emulator/Kia Our car is yet to be finished though. I think it is the powertrain communication data on the H-Can that is needed to complete the emulation. 37501 DD150 is Hyundai Kona 64kWh...
