Sorry, missed this reply ages ago... I took in my Soul EV for maintenance recently and asked about the battery recall, and whether it even applied to my car, since I seemed to not have the E400 cells, and they said I do have the E400 cells, and showed me a record of the cells being swapped in...

The type 1 charger is fixed at 12A, if I remember correctly, which can put strain on old 15A breakers or fuses over time. (I'm assuming that's what you're describing by "trips the house fuse") There are some third party chargers that allow going down to 10A or 8A, at the cost of, well, longer...

My 2017 27kWh reports 95% SOH in SoulSpy as of last month (May 2022)... mine was a fairly late 2017 model year car, though -- I've checked and it's got the E4000 battery model number on the sticker, but I've been seeing over 100 miles of range in it fairly regularly, so it seems to be behaving...

OK, I said I would follow up when my key fob adventure came to an end, so here it is. I got my second fob today. Unfortunately, due to not getting any responses from anyone about which fob model # to get, the one I got from eBay seems to have been the wrong one for my 2017, so I had to bite the...

I'm dealing with the same thing myself. The simple answer is "I'm not yet sure." I had placed an order with Ace Hardware (for around $270 if I remember correctly), who claims they can supply aftermarket fobs for various vehicles, and when they got the fob, it said a PIN code was needed for...

I thought I'd follow-up on this post myself, as I couldn't find any other discussion on the topic on this forum, but I did find some interesting info on the My Nissan LEAF forum. I'm inclined to believe that this won't be an issue for me. I keep the car in a garage, which I can heat in the...

Right, I got that. However, the point I was trying to make was, sometimes getting the BMS update/reset sets the range more in line with reality if you notice that it's reporting much lower than what you're actually seeing. (Especially if you got the car from a non-Kia dealer and take it as...

I wasn't too sure about my key fob part # (posted elsewhere about it), since mine was a very late 2017 27kWh model, and it seems like maybe the late 2017 and newer had a different fob, depending on where one looks up the info. I ended up just ordering an aftermarket fob from Ace Hardware (in...

I just got my BMS reset due to some recall the dealer mentioned (which I can't find any info on anywhere), and I find the guess-o-meter is actually much more accurate now after the BMS reset. I've owned the car for about 600 miles now (roughly 450 miles or so before the reset, 150 since). The...

I know I've seen Soul EV around on rare occasions in the Chicago area (other than mine) -- any other Chicagoans around?

I know this is a really old post, but the good news for us in the Midwest is that there is an EV-certified dealer in Schaumburg, IL now, not too far from I-90. I took my Soul EV in for the annual once-over recently. If the battery is still in relatively good shape, can probably make it with a...

Hi, I bought a Soul EV (2017 27kWh) a couple of weeks ago, and it's come to my attention that the one I bought may not have the battery heater... I live near Chicago, and we get pretty cold in the winter (-20F/-30C is rare but does occasionally happen). I had a 2012 Leaf SL before, and that...

I just wanted to say thank you for bringing this tool to our attention! I bought a used Soul EV last week without the nav SD card, and was able to make one with the tool, and now it also has the April 2022 maps and fixed the Bluetooth issues I was having when I first got the car! Very cool.

Hi all, Just got a 2017 Soul EV. I had a 2012 Leaf, but the battery has long since deteriorated to the point of uselessness for me. The Soul EV I got only came with one key fob, so my wife is interested in me getting a second one for some reason... Can someone confirm the correct key fob part...
