    Day time running lights

    Thank you. Dealership informed me that there is a company in Bellingham Wa. That activated the DRL on cars purchased in the US but we're going to B.C. If anyone might have information on such a company. I'll post if I find out as sell.

    Day time running lights

    I was just wondering if anyone has found how to activate the DRL on US versions?

    Facebook Group - Soul Game

    For those that have not seen it yet there is a Facebook Group "Soul Games" started my Hyundai project manager that is collecting input from current Soul owners for possible inclusion on the 3rd generation KIA Soul. The group is for both Soul ICE and EV owners. He is going to the effort to...

    Kia Soul EV maintenance schedule

    The only thing I can think about is that the curb weight of the EV is much higher than the ICE cousin so do not use a jack form an ICE Soul. I would not know where the jack points would be. Would you have to rest the TMPS? I have not rotated tires in a long time.

    Future Battery Upgrade

    I personally would not be surprised if KIA does not offer an upgraded battery or if the cost of the battery would be the same as replacing it today, around $13,000. The traditional model of automakers and dealerships is to Sell New Cars, for that they bring out new designs, added features and...

    Kia Niro EV to launch later this year

    I was hoping they would bring out an Optima EV but the Niro would be even better. Now only if it could have a 200 mile range similar to the Blot or grater I would stay with KIA when our Soul EV lease is up.

    Stock stereo specs?

    As my Soul is a lease I am really not interested in making any costly changes and the sound system is IMOP not that bad for the short time I am in the car. I am actually surprised KIA did not offer an upgrade to the audio system, understandably you are always looking at additional battery drain...

    Sound, Tint and Dashcam (and also a 'hi, I'm new')

    Welcome to the forum and look forward to the pictures. I agree the home link would have been nice, I have that in my other KIA's although I would also not spend the $$ on it. Now if it was not an auto dimming rear view mirror then I would. I did not go for the sunroof is because I am a larger...

    Sudden Loss of Range

    I live in Everett, WA. although I did not have my car for 3 month, it was down to 65 miles but now up to 83. From what I hear it is common for EV's to do this.

    Favorite Car Colors?

    My last 5 cars have been black with a red pinstripe wrapping the car, so when I went in to look at the Soul I wanted the All Black, not with red roof, but when I saw the Titanium Gray I was sold. Rather than a red pinstripe the decal shop put a black, I liked the change.

    Making Soul more aerodynamic

    Personally I prefer the Soul over the other EV because of it's shape. The only area I could think about is the tail of the car, just look at some passing big rigs on the freeway, "Boat-Tail" trailers or "vortex-generators". How well these would work I have no idea. I have even seen a small...

    Not only is it great to see more and more Soul EV's on the road but coming home and seeing the neighbour also purchased one. She was very interested when they noticed the blue lights at night. Slowly more and more.

    Is It Time To Leave My Leaf?

    I have to say it has very little road noise and of course no engine noise. In many ways IMO I found it had less road noise than my '15 Optima Hybrid. Our second car is a KIA K900 and it has all the features, they are nice but for a daily commuter I do not miss them. I am glad I did go for the...

    Is It Time To Leave My Leaf?

    Many people are looking at the lease rather than purchase, most I heard was because EV tend to devaluation so much. I personally went with the lease for 2 reasons, one because I feel the technology will have changed to much in 4 years I would want to train up, second and most of all I used the...

    Is It Time To Leave My Leaf?

    I really could not add much more other than talk about safety. I have driven KIA's for some time and have had many different models, one think I have found in common is they are safe and the Soul EV is no exception. I have seen a few different accidents and been in one myself (rearended) and...

    White paint for wheels

    The white on the wheels is one of my least favorite parts of the Soul EV.

    Changing headlight bulb

    When I did the bulbs I found it was easier to reach in and get the drivers side low beam out once I loosened the fuse box that sits right behind the light housing. Did not need to unplug anything from the fuse box, just loosened one nut and one bolt and there is a retaining clip on the back of...

    Congratulations!! I still do not have my EV back after the accident, will be taking it to Lee Johnson there for full inspection as soon as I get it back. I've always had black cars although there is something to be said about the Titanum Gray. Hope to see you around!

    Connecting car WiFi with home WiFi

    I have not done much the the wifi on my soul but I had the same system in my '15 Optima Hybrid and the way I understood it it was (supposed) to be the way the additional apps can connect to the Internet. btw, when will they come out with new apps. I was able to set the system to connect to my...
