Excellent summation. I actually bought the SOUL EV as a bet against KIA on their battery warranty, given that they used a LiPo pack and ran it very hard. I drove the wheels off of it and got a new 30 kWH E400 pack as warranty replacement at 83k miles, with several weeks of a fully covered Enterprise rental after 6 months of driving a degraded pack and waiting. Now past 120k miles, I got the HV warning, showed up for another pack replacement and they applied yet another software patch instead. There's a lot of ways to deal with the issues, but KIA not divulging exactly what their intermediate cure for fire prevention is, well, unacceptable.
I have owned 3 Kias. A red Rio which I turned in when it was published that the Kia Rio had the highest rate of fatality. Read it was stull 😢true. 2013 Soul was stolen from front.driveway..Police did not able to find it. Now I have a Ford. Not a fan. Have been suffering from cancer since about July 2023. In and out of hospital.

I love my Soul EV, battery life not withstanding. I'd hate to get rid of it, but I'm definitely afraid of what Kia might not actually do for me. 😢
