    Map SD card, DRM?

    Any idea if the map SD card can be easily backup onto another SD card for use in another Soul EV? If so, group buy anyone? :lol:

    SiriusXM: worth keeping?

    It works poorly for me in Vancouver. When it's cloudy, or near any kind of tall building, or under a bridge, the signal cuts out so easily. I just want their traffic data really, too bad they don't offer it as a standalone service.

    Do you bring in your EV for Service?

    LOL, I was at a Kia dealership and he suggests me to do a service based on the mileage to keep the warranty. I don't think a $50 service is really needed for EVs especially when there's no oil change, and tire pressure check should be free anyway. Visual inspection? LOL, my friend at...

    Check Brake warning

    Have you talked to your dealership to get it replaced under the lemon law if they don't know how to fix it? I wonder if Kia Canada can do something if the dealership does not cooperate. p.s. I've never seen 181km range...

    Things you don't like about the Soul EV

    I think most of us here like our little EV's, but are there things that you started to notice about the car that you don't like about? This is my list so far.. - Over bigger bump, the suspension is very harsh, and it reminds me this is really not a luxury car. - The rear seats are not very...

    Considering a Soul EV - in Toronto Canada

    You should strongly consider EV+ with the more efficient HVAC system for heat for ON. I live in Vancouver with basic EV, even with outside temp. 16C with HVAC set to 21C, heat will kick in and energy consumption is higher.

    Just picked up a 2016 Soul EV

    Yes, I still needed to pay for shipping and tax, a hundred something, then installation was $275 by a local electrician.

    Just picked up a 2016 Soul EV

    cool, I guess we Vancouverites don't really drive all the far. I charge to 80% overnight everyday (or even every other day) and that's enough for me. Actually, I only did the 16,000km/yr lease, and I'm a bit over right now 'cause it's such a joy to drive this silent little EV.

    The 16A ain't bad, if you're not planning to charge mid-day for more juice, and you usually sleep for at least 6 hours, it's good enough.

    Winter Tires and Rims

    I doubt the rim is anything special, I would call up another dealership and ask.

    Canadian charging stations

    I doubt they are provide by XM, more like the static GPS data. Updating the expensive GPS SD card should in theory give you better public EV station coverage. They are not that updated, so I'd still use plugshare as the best source for public EVSE.

    Winter Tires and Rims

    You need rim with TPMS or else your dashboard will always have the TPMS light on. Tires: as long as they are the same size as stock: P205/60R16 So I'd pass on your friend's offer if I were you.

    Little things owners have noticed on the Soul EV

    The tires love to eat little rocks. I need to floss them from time to time. :)

    Charge Time Question

    :) simple. When u have at least 1 program, without the OFF override, charging only happens on those 'trigger' time (i.e. your Sun to Thursday @ your start time). So if you want Fri and Sat to charge to 100%, program the 2nd slot to select Fri & Sat, 100%, starting @ your start time.

    Can speedometer switch between km/h and mph temporally?

    I seldom drive down to the states, but when I do, I want the speedometer to be in mph. Anyone knows if it's possible at all? Thanks
