Kia built the 2021 Soul EV around a battery-electric powertrain, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year and configuration — every specification and service sequence it gives is the one Kia published for this car, not a near-enough figure carried over from the gasoline Soul or a neighboring model year.
Engines covered

Trims covered
- Limited

Known issues on the 2021 Soul EV. No recalls are on federal record for the 2021 Soul EV. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year either. A clean federal record says nothing about how a given high-voltage repair should be carried out, which is where Kia's own procedure for this powertrain earns its keep.
Whether the car in front of you is the Limited or the Premium hatchback, the values and steps you work to are Kia's own for the 2021 Soul EV rather than a generic battery-electric approximation.
