Ever wondered what''s really going on under the hood of your electric vehicle? If you own a Kia Soul EV or other compatible models from Kia and Hyundai, Soul EV Spy might become your new best friend. This innovative application allows you to access detailed data from your car's onboard systems, transforming your smartphone into a portable dashboard that provides real-time insights into your vehicle's health, performance, and energy consumption.

So, what makes Soul EV Spy stand out? Primarily, it connects seamlessly to your electric car via a compatible •OBDII adapter, such as the VGate iCar Pro BT4.0 (recommended), to relay a wealth of information directly to your mobile device. This connection enables users to •Check battery State Of Health (SOH), monitor temperatures, extract energy use, read error codes, and much more.

The app displays detailed data about your vehicle's main battery, including individual cell voltages, module temperatures, and overall health status. It also offers control over energy consumption metrics, helping drivers make informed decisions that could optimize driving range and battery longevity. While the app is intended only for data readout, it provides invaluable insights that can help you better understand your EV’s internal workings.

To maximize the app’s functionality, it requires a •Bluetooth 4.0 compatible OBDII dongle, specifically the VGate iCar Pro BT4.0. It’s important to note that many other •OBD adapters, such as various versions of the KW902 product, are often incompatible due to limited buffer space or unsupported communication commands.
