What is the load on the 12V lead acid battery while the car is off? I only have a clamp meter which reads to the nearest tenth of an amp so I can only get an estimate. It looks like on my 2016 EV+ it is close to 0.5A. If this is true, that would mean that a 45Ah battery would be dead in 90...

The car does have things in place to protect the battery. The battery pack fan will come on when the battery gets above a set temperature, and I presume if it is below a set temperature if the air inside is warmer than the pack. Depending on where your model was destined for, it may have...

I wonder if I have the Cloud colored one you didn't get. What dashcam did you go with?

Unfortunately Kia didn't think it was necessary to allow the cars to display either miles or kilometers at the driver's option. I'm quite sure that all the data is collected in metric units and then converted for the US market. Unfortunately they hard coded this into the display cluster. The...

That is frustrating. :( The only things that come to my mind are, is the antenna hooked up with a good connection, did they activate the new IMEI number with Verizon or who ever the carrier is, is the replacement modem defective? Does the main display show that it is getting a cellular...

I am getting some strange SOH values on my 2018 Soul EV+. Restarting Torque and power cycling the car didn't make a difference. I was finally able to get a 33.0kWh value for a brief moment but it went back to this 18.0kWh, 60% SOH value. I checked again today and it shows the same thing.

I decided to measure how much energy came out of the wall to fully charge my 2018 Soul EV+. I arrived home with 8% SOC being displayed on the console. As you can see from the Torque Pro data below, this was 7.5% SOC display and 8.5% SOC BMS. FIWI, it appears that the two SOC values are the same...

I just updated my spreadsheet with data from my 2016 Blue. The last three entries for the 2016 White and Blue are after the BMS reset. If I had realized that the BMS data was going to be reset I would have collected data on the pack immediately before and after the BMS update. If it would be...

Looks like you haven't had a reply for a while. As far as the car is concerned it doesn't matter what amperage the EVSE tells the car. My 2016 and 2018 Soul EVs both charge at about 10% below the current specified by the EVSE so the 10A EVSE will have the car only drawing around 9A and the 12A...

I setup the new PIDs from GitHub for the 30kWh battery and put together the following screen showing a reading on my 2018 Kia Soul EV+ at the 229 mile mark. The deteriation values are all zero.

There could also be a problem with your EVSE, unless you mean you have tested the same EVSE on other outlets and it worked fine. One of my OpenEVSEs stopped charging the car and I had to unplug it and plug it back in to reboot its internal processor. It has been fine ever since.

The lines in red have a : when maybe it should be a ,?

Definitely post what the resolution was.

JejuSoul, I just traded in one of my 2016 Soul EV+ for a 2018 EV+ and have not been able to find the 2018 files. I'd be glad to test those updates but would like to start with the current files. I still have one 2016 so I want to be able to use one set of PID codes for both cars.

I thought I had the OBC go out on my Blue 2016 Soul EV+. This evening I went out to plug in my car and the charge door wouldn't open. I thought a fuse maybe blew. I didn't pull any fuses but I did turn the fuse switch off then on but nothing changed. I turned the car to accessory mode then...

Just last night I noticed a new behavior of the TMS fan. This was after the 4th quick charge of the day. The pack was something over 40 degrees by the end of the charge and I had heard the fan come on as soon as charging started. I don't remember off hand what the fan rate was. What was strange...

It would be interesting to see how keeping the vents closed affects the battery pack temperature. Remember that the cabin air is what is vented through the battery pack to either cool or heat it. A cold battery is not as efficient as a warm one.

There is a round cover, right above the socket, in the plastic cover over the radiator area. It has a notch in it which will accept a coin so you can turn it to remove the cover. Note the writing on it indicating locked/unlocked. Under this cover is a lever with a round end on it. Swing it to...

I can't seem to find how to get/install the HKMC-EV-Torque-Plugin. I checked the Google Play store and https://github.com/JejuSoul/HKMC-EV-Torque-Plugin and can't find it on the store or figure out how to manually install it from GitHub. Are the instructions posted somewhere?

That is generally correct. I drive the Blue one on my 6 mile round trip commute and for out of town trips. My wife drives the White one on her about 20 mile commute and rarely goes out of town now. At the current rate the miles will be back down to within the lease amount a little before our...
