So I looked around and read a bunch from others. SOC is 45% right now and it’s 19^ in the shade. I drove like an aso for 30Km. Left lane gaspedaal to the floor regen on full airco on full everything that I would normally never do. Stopped at the FastNed here on the A2 it went to 54kw right away and after a couple minutes it’s charging at 74kw! It’s absolutely insane that you need to drive like an idiot if you want to fast charge. It charged @74kw from 45% to 57% and now it’s back down to 56kw. So if I want to fast charge from 20% I just need to drive 25km in a way that is personally unacceptable just before hitting the charge station?

Ik heb 70,000km op mijn soul. Dat geur gaat niet weg. Voor mijn neus heeft het ongeveer hetzelfde geur als mijn elektrisch kachel in de woonkamer. Niet echt plastic maar geen lekker geur. Bij mij is het naar een paar minuten wel weg.

Hi, I’m an expat and Dutch needs a translator. I can read your Dutch but there’s a chance that you will not understand mine I have a 2020 soul 64KW battery EV. It basically never charges faster than 50kw. Half the time the FastNed chargers on the highway give an error or flat out refuse to charge. KIA says that this is normal and that I can only fast charge under very specific circumstances. They say there are many variables and that the car is perfectly fine. I don’t actually know anyone who drive a soul and I have been getting stonewalled for a year now ! So I am wondering if it’s just me. Does your soul charge faster than 50kw? Thanks Jonathan
