    Battery and how much is really being charged

    Can anyone please tell me, or maybe point me to the logs, of a completely (or almost complete) dead battery and its charge? I know we have a 27 kWh battery, but I know that is not fully discharged or full charged to prevent the battery from a early death. I charged my car recently and measured...

    CHAdeMo 84% limit

    I posted this in the other thread as well, but I wonder if the BMS can be upgraded to allow beyond that time, like they did in the 2017s. Granted I don't DC charge that much, but again I just got the car less than 2 months ago... so who knows what the future brings.

    2017 Soul EV page is up (kinda)

    Maybe it is 40 kWh, but only 35 usable. Just like for us, its 30, but 27 usable. Either way, its great to see a increase regardless. At 35, that would net me around 108 miles (3.1 mi/kWh * 35) based on NE USA cold weather. As time goes on I am slowly becoming less "range anxious", and more...

    Any hints about 2017 release date?

    I wonder if we can just get a update to the BMS to allow us to charge to the 94% in CHAdeMO. EDIT I also just noticed another thing when reviewing the 2017 manual. Did the top speed of the vehicle just increase to over 100 MPH? http://cdn.goingelectric.de/forum/resources/image/32458 (look at 7-7)

    Kia Niro EV to launch later this year

    Either someone got it wrong, or it will share the same DNA (like Ford did to Lincoln, or a joint venture like Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ). The R&D involved is quite extreme and expensive for a BEV, so to keep costs down, it may have been done like that. We will see as time gets closer or...

    2017 Soul EV page is up (kinda)

    From what I can see, we (the US) are usually around 9-12 months behind Korea. So the 2017 model will possibly be out soon, and the website doesn't say anything about a increase, just some minor fixes from the previous years. So it looks like at least Jan/Feb 2018 from what someone else stated...

    What car will you be pursuing, or have your eye on next?

    I have been reading around, and I know quite a bit of you are going to be ending your lease maybe this year or even the next. What car will you be pursuing, or have your eye on next? For me, I am torn. I am so early in this lease, that thinking at least 2 years in the future is a bit hard. I...

    Front License Plate

    I guess I just don't like the look of having a front plate. As part of the "deal" at the dealership, they were not supposed to put holes in the front bumper for the plate (even though NJ is required to have it), but they didn't listen. So basically there is no other "mount" then? :/

    what other cars did you consider?

    I liked the car... it had a lot of features for the price and for the 18K miles I put on it (in around 3 years), it did very well. The HP was great, and plus it had a lot of things that I miss now (adaptive cruise, HIDs, and power memory seats). If I had one complaint though, it would be some...

    Front License Plate

    So when I picked up my car, they drilled into the front bumber to put add my front license plate. Is there a better way to mount the plate in front? My Cadenza had a nice plastic mount, but I don't see something like that for the Soul EV... :/

    ChadeMo at risk in the US?

    Since Ford, GM, Audi, BMW, and etc, have all settled on the SAE fast charge standard for North America...does that mean that KIA and Nissan (and possibly others) are at risk of not getting new ChadeMo chargers? Just today I wanted to top off in my Kia at a hotel, and saw the two fast chargers...

    what other cars did you consider?

    I did not test any other cars before picking my Soul EV+, however I did a lot of research on price vs features and rebates. At that time, I was trading in a Kia Cadenza and I had quite a few months left. I was pretty much stuck with Kia since the Cadenza went down in value so much and so...

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    SoulEV2016, I picked up the ones that were mentioned in this thread... Any other suggestions?

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    Sigh, I am having no luck as mentioned in the other thread. I asked for 2 refunds already, and twice I had to go to a UPS store and drop it off. Is there any surefire reader that I won't have to return until I get a "good" one?

    New Software out?

    On your maps as well? My maps were at least 1 year out of date before I asked the dealer for a newer/updated version.

    Setting up Torque to show BMS data

    I am not having any luck with these things. I even tried another vendor but I cant get it to work. I turn the car on, plug in the reader, and nothing. So I hit the button and the power light stays solid amber, but the others just blink and turn off. I tried even without starting the car and its...

    Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully your issues will be resolved soon and then you can get on enjoying the vehicle. :D
