When your driving an ev you have so many factors to consider that can effect your range, some i can think of

-Temperature
-Wind resistance vs the speed you drive
-Running the accessories.. the climate control is king for most energy usage for sure even though its really efficient if you ask me
-how fast you accelerate; (keep her in the green under acceleration and you will defiantly get more km per kwh
-try to use as much regen as possible to slow down then jamming down on the brakes, you can even go into (b) mode if you have a big downhill and are trying to get as much kwh back into the battery as possible
-tire pressure - i just filled mine after the light came on around 3k on the clock.. was down to around 28psi all around vs 33 psi.. probably only ever filled last at the factory..
-i think the soul does its best range between 50 - 60-70km/h .. based on my use in the GTA


hope this can help someone..
