If it has the most recent head unit update then there are some bugs related to this. While the car is on remove the SDCard and then re-insert it. Once it finishes restarting the EV data should be populating again. One of the guys on the Kia Soul EV Facebook group has been in communication with...

Just go to your service department and if they are any good they should take care of testing your battery and getting the warranty process started. The EV warranty is covered for all owners and the extended warranty paperwork won't matter as long as you're under 10 years 100,000 miles. If you...

I ended up just buying some generic ones at Costco. They work well enough and only cost me $20 on sale. I think the main reason that the vehicle specific ones all say not for the EV is because it might interfere with the heating/cooling. I only have heated cloth and it's too hot for me, so I...

Alternatively you can contact a dealership parts department and ask them to look it up by the VIN. The replacement battery and BMS are different parts with and w/o heater.

Thanks for all the input getting to the decision. I'm pretty excited. I picked up the car on Saturday. I guess I should've had a discussion with the sales guy in advance because I assumed he would put it on the charger for me since they knew I was driving up to get it from over an hour away. I...

Picked up today. https://imgur.com/a/Vv5ZSf4

Just like everyone else I wanted to give you a great big thanks for this! I just picked up my 2015 Soul EV today. I had a nearby dealership do an inspection. I specifically asked them to check the software version for me and let me know if it was updated to Include Android Auto. They just came...

Thanks! I was thinking it should be good from the results. I've used it with Torque, Dash, and a few other apps without issue over the years on other vehicles. I've never attempted to manually dump the data. I'll get Soul Spy on my phone ready to go for when I pickup the car and hope for the best.

I was at a local dealership (Colorado Springs, CO) to test drive a Soul EV while I wait for the one I'm buying to get it's battery replaced. It was a pretty cold day at around 12F. The GoM had an estimated range of 65 miles with a full charge. With the heater on it dropped to 55. I think...

Thanks for the feedback! We don't usually get temperatures anywhere near the -26c mentioned by Jeju. I've seen it that low maybe once or twice, but that's usually only because of windchill and if we had one of those exceptional days I could take a different vehicle or possibly telecommute.

That's about what I figured. I was just hoping with the info from ELM327 Identifier that someone could tell me if they thought it would be a definite no-go. I don't want to spend money if I don't need to, but I'd like to have a usable adapter ready to go when I pick up my car sometime within the...

Well it's been a little bit, so I suppose I should post an update. I decided to move forward with the purchase. Hopefully I don't regret it later. I got a call today saying that my EV Battery has been replaced. I'm just waiting for the KIA dealership to complete the inspection I requested as a...

I've had this adapter since 2012. Do you think it will work or do I need to buy a Konnwei? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLCGF8/ Here's the ELM327 Identifier output: https://imgur.com/Tuh9OpB

I was figuring with the length of my commute I could stay in the 30% > 80% charge parameters most of the year. You are probably right for when it's cold though, especially if I want to preheat in the morning. That's the thing. I work outside of the city and there are no chargers between home...

Thanks for all the detailed information. I do have another vehicle I could use if it was absolutely the only option, but I don't know if I want to rely on that. I can re-arrange the garage during the winter for really cold nights if it becomes a problem, but I can't do anything about parking...

I'm not up on a mountain. A quick google search tells me our average winter temperatures for the coldest month are in January with avg high of 41F/5C and avg low of 17F/-8C. I have seen temperatures drops to around -5F/-20C on a rare occassion. The car is small enough that I could probably move...

I have a quick follow up before I pull the trigger on this and start signing paperwork over the next couple of days. The car was originally a California car and as such does not have the heat pump for managing the battery temperature. I am in Colorado and the car will live it's life outside...

@notfred - Thanks for the quick reply. You've confirmed my thoughts. I figured I ought to solicit input from a group of people more familiar with the car than I am. I haven't actually gone to see the vehicle yet because it's about an hour and a half away from me. The pictures show the paint and...
