    Kia EV team?

    Think I have talked to him as well, very knowledgeable about the EV and potential problems. Before I talked to him some of the other's on the phone did not even know what an EV was.

    what spare tire could fit?

    Correct, sorry bad choice of words. I was not thinking the tire and rim size but the space located in the floor for the spare. True it is only keeping a tire in the back. Peace of mind I have AAA with a 100 miles of towing. This gives me the peace of mind if a tire blows out and the repair...

    Default Climate Control settings

    I did hear of anoth EV opener that the temperature sensors went bad and the car thought it was something crazy like 90 degrees in the car so turned on th AC each time. Was an easy fix to the dealer and they tested the sensor and could tell it was bad and replaced it. Possible solution?

    Disable Charging Lights?

    I do understand the need for them, to let others know if it would be OK to unplug you car if completed, just wish they were smaller or at least incorporated into a base speaker.

    Price on a new original charger from KIA

    I have been looking into several options myself and as this is my first EV I am not ready to have a permanent charger installed just yet. My understanding it will not void your warranty, if you think about it your warranty would be void the first time you recharge at a public site then...

    Kia "CHARGE UP" Card

    I have gotten to the point that I am just going to purchase a level 2 for my home or have the charge cord that came with the car upgraded to level 2. I mainly use NRG and AV now. I have a membership with both, NRG pay as I go and AV is a monthly for unlimited us. I do not even have the charge...

    Pedestrian Warning System

    good point. honestly I would not mind at low speed if it made the electric motor "wer' rather than something that sounds like old breakpad on a rusty rotor in my opinion. I guess I am thankful I do not sound like a forklift or delivery truck backing up.

    Map Update Version 9.5 to be released December 1st

    I noticed that the update might include UVO diagnostic and geo fencing. That will be nice next time my kids use the can and leave it with 10% charge for me to go to work the next day. I'll second Apple Carplay.

    I've been having problems with the chargers for some time. I have had error messages after a DCQC completed and then caused 2 other DCQC to not work. Waited at night for 2 hours by a level 2 to make it home. Next day it was ok. The dealership did do an update that they told me was for an...

    What is the cost of DC Quick Charging in your area?

    Performance KIA in South Everett, Washington is where I purchased my EV, they offered me free charging for the life I own the Soul at their dealership. They have a 480 volt fast charge. I can charge from 9% to 83% in 20 min. It's a perk that sold me on the deal as they are close to my home.

    Little things owners have noticed on the Soul EV

    I just aquired a 2016 Soul EV plus. I was wondering if it is just me but my wife noticed as well that when you shift into reverse "R" it plays a tune in the cabin, kind of a sonar tune. Very slight, if you have the radio on you can not hear it. Nice additional feature to tell you what gear...

    AUTOMATIC STOP LIGHTS

    Yes correct. I noticed this last night as I was driving. The rear brake LED's would come on without me breaking when in "B". I tried this in "D" and they will only come one when the brake pedal is pressed.
