FWIW, mine doesn't look like to be remanufactured/refurb. 37510 E4000 PACK ASSY-BATTERY I wouldn't worry too much about it. As long as you're getting 27 kWh usable, it doesn't really matter whether it's new or refurb. To be fair, the battery warranty does clearly state that they may give you...

Unfortunately, you can't do anything about the seat adjustability or the missing subwoofer. However, you can replace the front headlight low beam (and high beam) halogens for HIDs and they make a huge difference in both light color and brightness. I have 5000K HIDs and would never go back to...

Nice, sounds like a great car, 8600 miles is really low. Enjoy!

By "here" if you mean WA, then I think you should be OK, as its a fairly mild climate. I would be more weary of cars imported from out of state like your Leaf, especially from warmer states (CA, AZ, NV, etc). Lower temperatures definitely has an effect on your GOM, as you should be pretty...

Do you have any idea what the tested SoH % was (for 47-48 miles on GOM)? The paperwork didn't mention a specific number. Just curious. Anyways, glad that saga is over. Enjoy your "new" car!

It's interesting that I was able to charge at a higher power (47.8kW) than them (40kW). Were they using a 100A DCFC station? It's hard to say because they didn't collect voltage and current data. There's a new 200A/80kW DCFC station opening soon nearby. I'm looking forward to testing the Soul EV...

My guess is that KIA has a corporate discount with the rental car agency, so it's probably costing them not much per day. Probably cheaper than having shipping a bunch of $16k batteries from SK to US and having them get baked sitting around in a warehouse somewhere.

Yes, I believe the answer you're looking for is here. Make sure to read the entire thread to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into.

I like that new widescreen infotainment screen, it seems high resolution and very crisp. The graphics seem to have more contrast than the screens in Kona/Niro EV. Also like the new LED display for climate control settings. Cooled seats and heated rear seats confirmed! There's a huge cavity in...

Onboard charger (OBC) is known to malfunction. Definitely get that checked and replaced. Mine was replaced.

If we're talking about the same CA here, then this isn't quite right. The average speed in HOV lane in CA during commute time is maybe 35mph, vs 15mph outside :D Weekends are another story.

I doubt that anyone in AZ has theirs replaced within 30 days. Soul EV was never allowed to be sold in AZ right? So I'm willing to bet that AZ has lowest priority when new battery shipment comes in. CA probably has the highest priority.

Yeah, that's a good question to ask (whether the replacement battery continues the original 10yr/100k warranty). In that case you should be OK buying the car since if it goes below 70% again, it will be replaced (assuming you want to go through that headache again). 2015 Soul EV should be worth...

I agree 100%. Your lease expired more than a month ago, I don't know why you're even involved with that car? Just return it and move on. I hope you're not currently making payments for a car that you don't even have. Have you considered getting a Niro PHEV now or waiting for the new Niro EV to...

If you hate your local Kia dealership, this may not be the car for you. Anything at all related to the EV system you will need to bring it in to a KIA dealership, no others can work on it. Yes it may cost you for the diagnostics (including SoH report), but there is no other choice. Since your...

Reading around forums for other EVs, folks are posting DCFC graphs for their cars. These are super useful for road trips when you want to maximize your charging rate (and minimize your charging time and per minute cost). I don't think there exists any for the Soul EV, so I went ahead and...

Happy Christmas! Yes, please do upload your juicebox stats. However, we do need more data. Specifically, CED and CEC from torque pro. Then, do your range test once more and perform the calculations. Be sure to take screenshots before test, after test, and after recharging to 100%. kWh used...

Mat det at 98% is concerning. Your battery pack has become extremely unbalanced, thus BMS leading to spit out 65 miles on the GOM. Try running down your battery to 0% and see what you get? Or else you could go to the dealer and get a SOH report (~$120). That's the only way to check for sure...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V34Amgkh-7o Finally a good look at that center console. Blanks on both sides definitely look like housing for heated and/or cooled seats.

Peaks at 54 kW (400V * 135A), at 72%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aKOqzL2Nn8
