What is the best way to maintain the battery life of a Kia Soul EV?

I just purchased a Kia Soul EV and I want to make sure I am taking proper care of the battery to prolong its life. Can anyone provide some tips and advice on how to maintain the battery?

Hi Samantha, congratulations on your new Kia Soul EV! One important tip to maintain the battery is to avoid frequent deep discharges. This means try to keep the battery above 20% charge as often as possible.

Another important factor is to avoid charging the battery when it is extremely hot or cold. Extreme temperatures can shorten the lifespan of the battery. Try to charge it in moderate temperature settings.

You can also use the eco mode feature while driving to help extend battery life. It adjusts the car's systems to use less energy and therefore puts less strain on the battery.
