    Comparing BMS data on the Soul EV with the Ray EV

    You will only get 16A through the 16A cable. The cable itself has a resistor (220 ohms for 32A, 680 ohms for 16A) connected between PE and PP, which tells the supplying side the current limit for the cable. The resulting charging current is decided by the lowest one of the outlet, the cable and...

    Battery Ageing Model

    . The weekend before this change, I went for a roadtrip (650 km) and had a total of seven CHAdeMO fast charges, plus a little Type2 32A (well, 27.5A actually). This is highly different from my daily commute, so maybe the algorithm get confused in some way? ;) Anyway, today I had a full charge...

    Battery Ageing Model

    . As I regularly charge only to 80% during summer, the deterioration values are sitting put until I need to start with 100%. A week ago I did that, and got another update. the Max det increased a bit, while the Min det fell down to 1.5%. This is a behaviour seen frequently in some cars, but...

    Comparing layout of the Soul EV battery with other EVs

    . The "Consolidated 12V battery" concept in the I oniq hybrid seems interesting. Maybe something similar Tesl a is aiming for in the Model Y. Any details about the implementation?

    . To my knowledge, UVO is available only in Korea and the US.

    Battery Ageing Model

    . It's now 2 months and 5300 km since the BMS was updated and the deterioration data was reset. Here's how it looks right now: Current values: Max det: 9.2% Min det: 7.5%

    Luxury! 8-) "- Cell balancing did not occur . Presumably because I was drawing power for the air con." Or there was no need for it. ".. The Energy Draw showed zero, All the counters showed nothing. Does this mean Power for the air con is coming from the c harger." No. When the charging has...

    Comparing BMS data on the Soul EV with the Ray EV

    . Here is the graph from charging my Soul EV 0-100% (2-95% BMS) last summer. The voltage rise is pretty much the same, as expected.

    Comparing BMS data on the Soul EV with the Ray EV

    Yes, when I did a 100% to 0% range check last summer, the battery turned off at 297.2V while the SOC (displ) went from 1.0% to 0.0%. The SOC (BMS) showed 2.5% and went to 2.0% a couple of seconds later and stayed so for two minutes until I connected the charg er.

    BMS software update

    No single charge to 94%, still need restart. But as I noted in another thread, there are new Delta chademos that autostart when you plug in, and also auto restart at 83%. Not related to BMS update though. I think maybe 'a more favourable consumption' is more related to the reset of the DTE...

    Comparing BMS data on the Soul EV with the Ray EV

    I saw a similar increase on the loaner Soul EV I used a year ago. That car was the dealers demo and had probably always been c harged to 84% at their 20 kW Chademo. Had all zeros on deterioration values and around 1000 km on the odometer as I recall. When I used a Chademo FC on the road to work...

    Battery Ageing Model

    . The CCC/CEC or CCD/CED counters are often counting up a bit just after the car is started. Here's an example: Normal commute to work, 50km, then parked during the day (no c harger connected), then home 50km. The graph is computed as ["consumed Ah"] divided by ["consumed SOC%"] = ["Projected...

    BMS software update

    I've just visited a friend who also bought a 2015 Soul EV, just a month after me. He is now over 60000 km too, and I thought I should go there and check the BMS values in his car to get more statistics. But he had the 60000 km service done only a couple of days earlier, and I found that the...

    BMS software update

    My deterioration numbers have been going roller coaster since the BMS reset. New update every charge cycle. One thing I have never seen before is that updates have taken place even when the charging was started from higher SOC than 30%. In these cases the update happened at 94% SOC instead of...

    BMS software update

    Well, they didn't tell me they had in the first place. I just assume they always connect the KDS/GDS, log in to some service site and then things just happen.. :roll: I might just call and ask "innocently" why the Cumulative Operating Time on the battery report was just 11 minutes... :o Only...

    BMS software update

    Also this morning the deterioration numbers had changed: Max 9.5 (same), Min 7.1 (down from 7.5), same cells as yesterday. Odometer 61304 km. This time I started the charging at 52% and the update happened at 94.0% SOC. Update at these circumstances is a new behaviour, because all previous...

    BMS software update

    As expected, my deterioration numbers were set again this night during charging 16-100%. They are now Max: 9.5% and Min:7.5%. Before the reset they had decreased from 13.2/11.7 to 11.4/9.9 so it might be a seasonal change which would have happened anyway. This is also supported by the last few...

    BMS software update

    . My SOH has changed. But in the same time, it has NOT! :? 60,000 km service today. Went to the same KIA-authorized workshop as last time, and expected to find an SOH value of around 99.3% (matching Det 11.4/9.9) on the battery report. When the car was ready, the battery report from KDS...

    Hyundai AE (All Electric) to be available before Chevy BOLT

    . Interesting roadtrip video (as always with B.N). Nice seeing the co-drivers too.. ;)
