Hi everyone.

I am going to comment on my experience with the 2016 SoulEv from Spain.
First, sorry for my English ;)

I have SoulEv since February 2016. Right now it has 170000km .... yes .... 170k XD

I drive 50/50 second roads and highways every day, between 60km.
I always recharge at 80% at 14ampers, and I think about 10 times I have used Chademo.
At 100% about 10 times too.

I expose:
In December 2020, having SOH of 97% was fine and I did the service brake update and BMS control. Also now for 94% the chademo.



Now, today with SoulSpy and Torque same result:



and OVMS



I have traveled many km, and the battery is still in perfect condition.

My questions:
Is it possible that they have sacrificed the bad cells and improved the rustiness of the battery?
I understand that they have reset the battery and have restored values, but it amazes me !! XDD

regards
 
When they updated the BMS it forgot the health of your battery. You need a few charges from < 20% to 100% for it to learn the health again. If you only ever charge to 80% it doesn't learn.
