Is a 2016 Kia Soul EV battery upgrade available?

I have a 2016 Kia Soul EV that works great, but I want to increase the range and power. Can I upgrade to a larger battery?

Great question! Kia hasn’t released any information on whether a 2016 Kia Soul EV is possible, but if your battery isn’t holding a charge well, it will most likely be covered under warranty.
Kia offers a comprehensive battery warranty for 120 months or 100,000 miles from the date of first service—whichever comes first. The average Kia Soul EV battery replacement costs around $13,000 plus about $300 in labor fees if your battery isn’t covered under warranty. However, the cost of a battery replacement will depend on the condition of your vehicle, as you may need to replace other parts.
