    Android Auto and Apple CarPlay almost here!

    I got the "Please check the update memory and try again" error. Now I don't have the update or nav! Scheduled to take it in next week.

    Android Auto and Apple CarPlay almost here!

    Heads up I didn't see it until I disabled adblock pro.

    (D)rive vs. (B)rake

    I don't think it helps with range but it's so nice for hilly areas like Seattle.

    Which charger station do you recommend?

    I went durastation too, no problems so far. Definitely huge bang for the buck. The whole "easy to unplug" thing in case of repair is overblown. Its just three screw terminals to unplug a durastation.

    Is 2017 the Year of the Electric Car Price Drop?

    2017 Ioniq is slated for 110 mi. I've seen rumors about a 2017 Leaf with 130mi range. Both fall far short of 200 miles - so one can assume fairly they'll have to be priced accordingly. I'm of course totally curious what we'll see with the 2017 Soul both for range and price.

    Is 2017 the Year of the Electric Car Price Drop?

    So here's what I'm wondering - 200 mile Chevy Bolt for $37k, 200 mile Tesla Model 3 ~$35, a $34k 93 mile Kia Soul EV doesn't make much sense in the market does it? Short of a huge battery upgrade is the solution a big price drop for ~100mi EVs like the Leaf, Soul, and Ioniq?

    Charging at 16A on 120V (U.S.)

    Thanks, I'll just be sure to install the 220 before I get the Soul. Thanks for the help, sorry about hijacking the thread but made me think...

    Charging at 16A on 120V (U.S.)

    Opposite question - can the included trickle charger draw fewer amps? I might trickle charge for a few weeks prior to installing an L2 but I'm concerned about flipping a breaker with the chest freezer on the same circuit.

    Is this a good lease? SoCal area

    So my recommendation is to not negotiate payment but rather exact details. MSRP is $36,800 but Truecar estimate is $32,614. So lets make $33000 the capitalized cost. I've seen KMF bonus at $11000 (includes federal, no state), so really $22000 capitalized cost. Residual is likely 41% which...

    Any hints about 2017 release date?

    I'm mostly torn about the supposed new interior, that's my least favorite part of the current model. But if you wait for the '17, will lease deals be as good immediately? I swear they're practically giving away the current model.
