Is it more expensive to repair Kia Soul EV electric vehicle systems?

The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

How do I know when to get new brakes on my Kia Soul EV?

A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for Soul EV brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.

Why is my Kia Soul EV dashboard warning light on?

There are so many reasons the Soul EV dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.

Why is my Soul EV leaking water?

It is normal for an electric car to have some water underneath it after running the air conditioning for a period of time. This moisture is present because electric cars still use a receiver dryer assembly to keep the contaminants out of the vehicles A/C refrigerant, and as part of this process, some condensation is produced as a byproduct. On warm days, the condensation drains under the vehicle. A little bit of water is normal. But if you notice a significant amount of water or any amount of coolant leaking from your Soul EV, it may be a sign of a problem with the cooling system or another component.

Local EV Service for 2017 Kia Soul EV

Have you noticed your Kia Soul EV behaving differently? Perhaps you've noted weaker braking, or your vehicle doesn't feel like it has the same "get up and go" that it used to. Whatever the issue, our technicians can perform a no-cost* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. Perhaps there is trouble inside your Soul EV's high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Or, maybe your Soul EV has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, including 2017 Kia Soul EVs.

Certain Firestone locations also have advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like Kia Soul EVs. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the Soul EV's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location.

Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2017 Kia Soul EV to get to the root of the trouble. With the information gathered, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. We never perform repairs without your approval.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the Soul EV's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2017 Kia Soul EV and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.

Isolation test: This test involves using a unique tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the Soul EV's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Kia Soul EV dead? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, as these stations can heat up the battery more. Let us install a new electric vehicle high voltage battery.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your Kia Soul EV.
