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.

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

[@sebastienv5557]

Same with my 2016 EV at 104 000 km, I am not buying Kia ever again.

[@hulaszczezycie6130]

Better this than leaking coolant inside battery pack in Ford Focus electric (2013-2016).

[@ChuChoCR]

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

[@Kristijan1205]

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 :)

[@veekooo]

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

[@my2cents795]

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

[@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs]

Rapid charging is the problem! Avoid at all costs!

[@evclinic]

Some of them doesnt have fastcharging, only AC, but still suffer

[@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs]

@evclinic I am planning to buy nissan leaf 62kwh and only charge it 80% on a 7kw charger. I hope it will last longer. I don't know if the motor and gearbox are reliable. Is just a gamble to be honest with you.

[@evclinic]

@@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs Even worse shit is that leaf

[@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs]

@evclinic thanks bro, from your experience, which ev is better? I mean the ev you will buy?

[@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs]

@evclinic I guess this means I have to keep driving diesel. Thanks bro.

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.

[@andrew1joe]

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!

[@jolypineda8685]

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

[@fjgaston]

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

[@markoprasek6335]

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.

[@electrogeorge6269]

Súper 👍

[@FrozenHaxor]

Thermal management in that car is complete trash, it depends on luck more than actual design. Horrible, will never get a KIA.

[@evclinic]

SK cells are trash, thermal air cooling at least doing something. Same pack with LG cells doesnt suffer same destiny

[@susanvaughn741]

Perhaps at zero charge, the polarity can change.

[@destructodisk9074]

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.

[@evclinic]

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.

[@destructodisk9074]

@@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]

@@destructodisk9074 i must correct my self, warranty is 160000km. Everything else is correct what i said. Yes, USA has more customer oriented laws and consumer protection. EU is too corrupted. You remember dieselgate

[@apauma1]

What is you taughts on the lfp cells, as example catl cels in tesla 3 rwd?

[@evclinic]

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

Zezamo Bjorna, on je nas prvi put spomenuo u drugom videu da “EV Clinic from Czech republic” 😛

[@zlatkobudetic1168]

@@evclinic znao sam, da se zezate. A sada ozbiljno pitanje: kako ja kao kupac EV mogu znati, da li ima EV Termal Management (grijanje, hlađenje) baterije? Gdje i kako to mogu saznati? Lično vozim ID 3, 2022 godište, bruto 55 kW baterija. Hvala !

kajak punim isključivo sporo, prek noći, ima limunade il izbjegavat struju?

[@evclinic]

Sporo punjenje i kratke svakodnevne relacije nebi smjele imati apsolutno nikakav utjecaj tj. minimalna degradacija

[@mihasama-sama]

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"?

[@evclinic]

Manji je rizil bar po dosadasnjim analizama jer VAG u tim voziloma koristi Prismatic celije u metaliziranim kucistima, nisu Pouch

[@zsteva]

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.

[@evclinic]

To je strogo zabranjeno zbog isparavanja elektrolita

[@zsteva]

@@evclinic nisam razmisljao o tome, ali nigde na internetu se ne spominje da te celije imaju isparenja, pre nego sto se zapale.

[@evclinic]

@@zsteva ne zapale se, samo se dizelasi samozapale na autoputu kad se dpf ili plasticni egr zacepe
