Hi good video and experience. Thanks for describing your thought through the repair process. This video is more like an overview I guess. I am looking something more precise: how to dismount the HV battery, how to disassemble battery blocks and take out particular cells, how to map the diagram of kia soul spy to the physicals cells etc. Perhaps you have already in your channel - I will go and check. Definitely like for this video.

Znaci kraljevi u domeni bi vas ja nazvao, svaka cast na poslu na objasnjenju. vidimo se nekada, nadam se bez da imam problema sa EVom koji vozim, ali cisto mozda za iscitavanja nekih parametera ili provjere baterije prije isteka garancije :)

From following Bjorns videos, it seems the Soul is great for urban and in-range trips, but suffers a bit on long trips with multiple rapid charges. I do wonder if all the Souls being seen with damaged batteries have been used for long, high speed trips, as my 2016 has 96.8% SOH at around 65-70,000 KM; and this hasnt dropped in the 2 years, 10-15,000 KM I have put on the car. (Estimates, as I use miles). I only make a few out of range trips per year, and cruise at 100KPH, as the brick-like nose causes big drops in efficiency over that speed. I 100% slow charge once per month at 3KW, to balance the cells, and even a normal home charge, I set my charger to 5.5KW, rather than full power, and to 80% only. My 27KWh battery has maintained 26.1 KWh of storage over those 2 years, actually gaining nearly 0.5KWh over the initial state I bought it in, as the cells badly needed a balance; my min/max voltage variation is only +/- 0.01volts, and my worst cell has 10.8% degradation. High speed driving and high speed charging both cause high temperatures, especially in a few banks of the battery pack that are difficult to cool.

Where did you find a provider for the cells? I am looking around to do the same procedure with no luck.

Hi what is you opinion on 40kWh E-NV200 with active cooling ? Them have the same cells as Leafs but they have active cooling.

Has the 2018 30kWh batteries been any better from your experience? Mine hasn't degraded much but I don't fast charge often and keep the battery under 80% most of the time. Also, I've subscribed :) Keep up the great work!

What is the real autonomy and how many does the odometer say in total?

My Kia Soul EV 2018 battery just died after only 100 000 km...

If you are in the US it has a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty on the battery. Had my 2016’s battery replaced for free 2 years ago. I think they actually upgraded me, because now my range always reads 120 miles after a full charge.

In Europe 80000km and 8 years. Warranty is excluded if you miss any oil change filter change ex…. And it is excluded if car shuts down during 0% driving.

@@evclinic Ah that's a bummer. It's weird when the US has a better consumer benefit than Europe, usually it's the other way around. But I guess it's because we have a heavy car culture here and they wanted to build consumer confidence in EVs. Most cars don't have a 10 year warranty here though. Well at least with an EV you won't have to worry about missing an oil change.

@evclinic Hello, Is there an easy way to check with which cells (SK or LG) is the battery?

He said the 27kWh is the SK innovativ and the 30kWh is LG.

Top quality. More important is existence of active thermal control, cooling and heating of cells

This car is for sale. Would you recommend buying it for 9000 E? I only need it for short distances like 50km per day max.

Jel slican rizik postoji i za Citigo eIV? Pitam jer znam da nema aktivno hlađenje a vozimo se po toplom vremenu u Dalmaciji. Doduše, ako ništa garažiran je pa nije 0-24 na suncu. Koja je preporuka za "čuvanje baterije"?

Perhaps at zero charge, the polarity can change.

Da li je neko prepravljao vozilo tako da vazduh koji hladi bateriju se vraca u kabinu (da cirkulise kroz kobinu) umesto da izlazi vani? Tako bi se temperatura baterije regulisala na temperaturu kabine.
