Another downside to B on the freeway is Cruise Control. The slowdown when you approach a vehicle in front can be quite harsh.

There is no recent info here. I recommend you try instead :- Car Scanner : Choosing OBDII adapter Although the downside to the Car Scanner page is that they financially profit from recommending the most expensive version. Normally I would avoid suggesting such a site because of potential bias...

The values you are getting from the app are really weird. What is happening with the actual range of the car. Not what the GOM says but how far you can actually drive. To compare these numbers with my replacement battery when it was 16 months old. :- Analysis of a replacement battery. A...

TeslaBjorn has a review of one of them here :- What he doesn't point out is that there is no theft protection for this. ( Not on early Soul EVs for sure - is there a charger lock for the Chademo plug , that locks the cable when the car is locked, on later cars. ) If it was my car anyone...

I just noticed you are in Arizona. No wonder you mention the heat. The original 27kWh version of the Soul EV did really badly in Arizona. New batteries were needed every 2 years. Kia never sold the Soul EV in Arizona for this reason. No one has ever reported a 30kWh version in Arizona before...

Either A) If you have just had the battery fire-safety recall a few days ago then your BMS has just been reset. All the values will be reset to zero and the car has to learn the SOH again over a few charging cycles. Or B) If you had the battery fire-safety recall a while ago then the new BMS...

Yes. It is strange. But there is absolutely nothing we can say with certainty about what is going on. All the homemade apps that read PID data from the car are inaccurate and getting more so over time. They are for entertainment purposes only. The BMS software that the apps are reading...

This recall seems to have started in Germany. Talked about here. :- Rückruf BMS - März 2024 And here is a google translate version of the recall letter. It is quite amusing how the original German letter has been translated from the actual situation. "After 3 battery fires it has been...

You won't be able to get the 37.5Ah cells anymore, so you'll have to use 40Ah Try from Alibaba.:- Brand new Sk innovation battery cell NMC 3.7V 40Ah 42Ah 50Ah 55Ah 60Ah 74Ah 87.5Ah li-ion pouch It is not a good idea to mix cells of varying capacities. But if you have no other option it is...

Great. That's the simplest fix for a non-working OBC we have seen.

Why do you mention BMS temperature harnesses? We have always talked about this as a voltage issue. The original wiring harness connected to 96 voltage sensors and 8 temperature sensors. Do you know how the updated harness is different? My car has an updated harness and has had a BMS software...

The On Board Charger OBC is bust. Take it in the OBC will be replaced under warranty. see the thread :- Charging Fault error.

It's a re-manufactured pack. It has a battery heater. It is assumed to have E400 cells, so is subject to the battery safety recall, which is why you will get the new wiring harness. It costs US $1740, which is ten times cheaper than a new pack. The last digit 3 is either the third version of...

Unique no longer. Locuturus - glad this was an easy fix. 🤞

Locuturus: I had my OBC changed in December 2017 (MY2015, 42,000km), a few days after having the OBC firmware Update. I too had the Error Code - P1CF5. My case is unique on this thread. The only car to have a 'failing' OBC. But now you too seem to have this. I could still charge but a 4hour L2...

If you drove 63 miles using 44% of your capacity then you could drive 143 miles total. 63 / (100-56/100) = 143.2 This is a good range for a 30kWh car. (230km!) Your efficiency was 4.5 mi/kWh. This suggests a usable battery capacity of 143 / 4.5 = 31.77 kWh. This is greater than the capacity...

Chevy seems to have given a great deal. Well done them. We have no idea yet what Kia is doing. It doesn't seem good. But. Ten years ago a group of Nissan Leaf owners got a deal from Nissan, It was talked about a lot on the forums beforehand and then nothing. I have no idea what the deal was. I...

Thanks Ian. On the 2018 SoulSpy has changed the names battery.max_cell_detoriation_pct to battery_max_cell_SOH_pct battery.min_cell_detoriation_pct to battery_min_cell_SOH_pct These are the same PIDs as the earlier model but have a different meaning. Before they used to show the deterioration...

andrew1joe : your theory does not match reality. Try reading through some of the longer threads on this forum for example the soulspy thread and then explain data such as this. see -Soul Spy? Here are my numbers at 100% charged battery.SOC_precise_pt 63.082 battery.SOC_pct 95...
