Soul EV

  • 23,500 miles
Our 2015 Kia Soul ev has over heated the main controller and shut down in traffic and would not move. This happened twice in chandler (phoenix ) Arizona after traveling just 10 miles. This is a major safety concern. The car cannot handle the heat in Arizona, Georgia or other hot southern states. The batteries and bms also fail after 2-3 years.
