A test of my 16A 1-phase charger with Grid Monitoring https://www.facebook.com/EVSEChargerAccelev/ Sorry for a ****** quality, I did that with my old iPhone ;) Car loads with a max speed of 16A, as the breaker is 16A. Then I start a water kettle (2000W) - once with Grid Monitoring at charger is...

We have finished a new version of Accelev - v2, adding special BatteryCare mode, with full or non-full charging with avoiding max voltage range (good for battery health). This one is 6 or 8 kW dual-phase-to-single-phase converter. Also, single phase version will be soon available. Accelev...

To be honest I'm not an expert of all generations/versions of AC/DC charger in Kia, as for me it was just a piece of electronics. I have compared one working from EU Kia and one failed (but not rapidly failed, rather slowly dying, causing charge fails, etc, until final death). That one is as you...

Ok, I update range comments, thx for info. But for me Kia really is better, and this is not a small difference. To be honest - I did two loops. In second loop Kia did 5.5 miles/km, so it was shocking. I have published first (5,4 miles/km) result.

Kia Soul EV did astonishing thing - it beats Nissan Leaf 30kWh without mercy! Shocking 116 Wh/km at our test tracj, without any extenders, trickery, even without factory ECO mode. Just B mode and voila. Japan : Korea - 0:1 :) Kia has usable 24 kWh (it is 2016 model, with 27 kWh total battery...

In our Kia Soul EV problems with charging started some time ago. There were problems to charge fully with 230V AC charger, and battery started surprisingly to be inbalanced. After some months charger broke totally. After connecting plug, lamps blink and repeatable clicking was hearable under the...

It was exactly 225km or 140,7 miles. Friends suggest that I should pump more air to wheels than standard 2.5 bar, so I could do more, but I don't care. Range is ok for me and Soul is really comfortable.

Test done, with 50 km/h average, and speeds up to 80 km/h (some city traffic, some rural areas, as flat as possible in my mountain region). I did it till car stopped. Till dead. Now I know a real possible range of Kia Soul EV and IMHO I will recomend this car. It was a pleasure to drive these 4+...

We have finished test phase and SoulChip (as we named it) is available. It is possible to deliver to any place in the World with DHL (about 30$ for quick delivery to countries far from EU). I also plan to distribute it through distributors, as we do with other solutions (2-phase fast...

SoulBox is available for Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland via authorised partner - PureElectric Also PHEVBox and LeafBox and soon - TeslaBox are available there. http://pureelectric.se

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Py6jNEyEU I did a long distance test witn box installed and programmed for Nissan Leaf (as I have no Kia Soul EV here to test it) 172,8 km, or 107,3 miles till turtle with 24kwh 2013 Leaf, 20,4 kWh available (Battery has SOH = 92,6%, a bit worn) - winter tires...

I have solved that in following manner: SoulBox observes behaviour of the driver, and tries to find, when driver seeks "zero power" position of throttle pedal. It learns automatically and after some time it can easily "gravity" torque demand to zero, even if driver is not especially precise (but...

In Leaf I emulated glide (N-mode) by controlling power demand level and "gravity" it to exact zero, if driver sets acc pedal in proper range (so LeafBox could find wish of the driver). Same I have planned for Kia.

Hello all Soul EV owners I'm Thomas, and I'm developer of PHEVBox Range Extender and LeafBox (and also solutions for Hybrid4 PSA systems). I have prepared clone of LeafBox solution for Kia EV. More about LeafBox and whole concept here (KIa solution is just a fork of Leaf solution)...
