It’s a common issue, some GFI outlets trip due to sensitivity with EV chargers. Replacing with a newer, high-quality GFI outlet might solve the problem, as older ones can be overly sensitive to slight electrical variations.

A full reset or software update at the dealer might resolve the inaccurate range and charging issues.

I went through something similar with my cousin’s 2016 Kia Soul EV after a recall. It wasn’t turtle mode, but we had issues with the car feeling off right after the update. We ended up having to take it back to the dealership, and it turned out that the recall update didn’t load properly...

Thanks for clearing that up! Still feels like an unnecessary extra step for something so simple. Hope they reconsider this change in future updates.

Ah, the joys of technology, right? It’s like your Soul EV just got a little older and forgot how to use its smartphone :D I wish I had a solution for you, but maybe it’s time to start charging your car like it’s a toddler right in front of you!

Hey all, I’m wondering if this is intentional from Kia. Why are the set charging limits now hidden in the Connect App under "EV Service"? This is ridiculous, what’s going on?

I just got the OBDLink XL, and it can reset modules, which is great I think, I used it to clear some error codes the other day, and it worked like a charm. But now I’m wondering, which module do I need to reset to turn off turtle mode? Any help would be appreciated.

My Kia Soul EV has been great for my family since we got it, but recently, it’s been making this weird motor noise every time I park, open the door, or start charging. The noise can last up to 10 minutes at times. The car's been at the dealership since last two weeks. They first thought it was...
