Updating the status of my battery, now SOH has dropped to 62%, with the temperature drop in December its range is down to 115 Km. (It was like 145 km last winter). While my daily commute is sometimes 78 km while other times 98 km, So I decided to replace 4 - 5 cells, I called one famous mechanic...

Also here in Jordan it is clear!. The Soul EV's here are mostly imported from the US, few are from South Korea. Most of the ones that are standing for sale now, specially 2015 & 2016 models, have degraded batteries. They have a range similar to mine (around 82 miles GOM reading at 100%) or...

This morning, I checked my battery cell map before I started driving. It was surprising to me that most of the cells charged up to 4.06V only. The bad cell was at 4.18V. (the car shows 100% charge). in a new battery they must reach 4.14/4.16 V. Recently they were reaching 4.10V. So what was...

Why does the BMS suddenly notices the battery performance change? 1. It can happen if some kind of resetting happens to your BMS. It happened with me after I disconnected the 12 volts battery for 8 hours in order to fix an issue with the clock! 2. If your battery charge is regularly in the...

First to update you on my car. The battery seems like recovering some range gradually!, now its consumption is back at around 39% per my daily commute (last year it was 37%, 2 weeks ago it was 43 - 45%). But max deterioration, min deterioration and SOH still read the same. (4.4%, 43.8%, 64.7%...

Thanks for your explanation, Now my SOH dropped to 64.7%. I do not know if the warranty covers my KIA, the car is imported from USA-California, I do not think that KIA middle east will accept a warranty claim. The max and min deterioration are 43.8% and 4.4% respectively (big gap !!). I...

I already did, it shows 69% ! But I am using the Soul Spy Lite, the free version. Is this figure reliable ?! and how could that big drop happen in a month ?! I used for a 15 months and it was performing fine.

Hi everyone, I have a Kia Soul EV+ 2015, I bought 16 months ago, my current ODO meter reading is 72,000 Km. Last year the car was consistently delivering 200 Km range. in the summer this year I noticed a small decline, it became like 190 Km, but it was consistent. In this month I started to...

I am surprised at the very high cost of battery replacement. Here in Jordan there are few mechanical shops now which will do that for less than 5000$ !. But it is not a new Kia Soul battery. I found a one who sold a battery from a wrecked Soul (with ODO meter of 30,000 km) for 2,900 JD, which...

Yes, there is no resistance to your movement if you are pressing your accelerator in B mode. I meant if the street is straight for example, then you would release the accel. pedal, in that case if you just let your car go forward by its momentum, it is more economic than higher regen braking. I...

Hi Ed, I noticed that you are using the "B" mode all the time. This actually is not a good choice, in fact it will degrade your fuel economy! If you are driving on a straight or a slightly inclined street, then it is more economic to use your car momentum to go forward. In the B mode the car...

I have a second hand Kia Soul EV 2015, Imported from California to Jordan last May. Current ODO is 26,000 Miles. I also do this calculation from time to time. I am getting constantly a calculated range of 120 - 125 Miles. My daily commute is 46 miles. I start normally at 80 miles range at 80%...

Does anyone have an idea about the price of the soul ev 2015 battery ? used or new ? the whole pack or the individual cell price ? any info is very precious for me. Thanks

Hi, I am a new Kia Soul EV owner. My car is 2015, I bought it 45 days ago. Its ODO is at 25,500 Miles now. I can't access the UVO services. Also I do not understand how to get the BMS data that some of you guys is using to calculate the SOH of the battery. My car can drive around 122 miles on...

Hi, I am a new KIA Soul EV owner from Jordan. I bought a car that was imported from USA. I would like to know if any of the owners reached 80,000 Miles without having to replace the main battery. Thanks

Hello Actually it is totally true. This car is becoming famous quickly in Jordan these days. All of the imported cars are from USA, made in Korea. I bought a soul 2015 EV+ before 45 days. Their price here is higher because of the shipping cost. Also the government adds 1300 $ as registration...
