What is a 2015 Kia Soul EV’s battery degradation rate?
I bought my Kia Soul EV in 2015. I still love it, but it seems to be getting fewer miles per charge than it used to. What’s the battery degradation rate for a 2015 Kia Soul?

Glad you still love your Kia Soul! A 2015 Kia Soul EV’s battery degradation rate depends on many factors, including the driver’s driving habits and the driving conditions it is put regularly put through. That said, a Kia Soul’s battery can degrade by 35% over the course of seven years.
In a report by InsideEVs, a 2015 Kia Soul’s battery was tested after seven years of ownership, and its battery capacity was roughly 65% of its initial battery capacity. This would mean a degradation rate of 5% per year, on average.
Your 2015 Kia Soul should have come with a 3-year, 30,000-mile battery warranty, which expired in 2018. If you suspect your battery is degrading at an unnatural rate, it may be time for a replacement.
