Where does the Kia Soul EV come from?
About 10 people I know bought a KIA SOUL EV from California and use them where I live in Arizona. They were fantastic the 1st year or two but then I think the HEAT is winning out. Over half have reported a failure of the OBC On Board Charger. Over half have also had battery problems.
Is there an electric version of the soul?
Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have tested the electric version of the Soul, but the gasoline powered model earned four stars from NHTSA and landed on IIHS’s Top Safety Pick list.
How big is the electric motor on the soul?
While it might be emissions free, the Soul EV isn’t fun-free; its 201-hp electric motor maintains the perkiness we love about the regular Soul and its cheeky exterior makes it just as eye-catching.
How long does it take to charge a Kia Soul EV?
A revised front end incorporates a larger “tiger nose” grille that folds out of the way to expose two charge ports—one for AC charging, the other for DC fast charging. The former port can fully charge a Soul EV in less than five hours on a 240-volt circuit but could take as long as 24 hours on a 120-volt outlet.
