Hey guys,
Just last week I got off the phone with the top EV dealer in the eastern region. He offered me some more details. First off, in order to be eligible for government grants they need to sell a particular number of an EV model. So that is the primary reason as to why the 2016 model is being rebranded as the 2017 model. However, sometime during next year, possible soon enough to still be called a 2017 model, the Soul EV will get a range boost to 136 miles.
He was unsure when exactly that would happen but that England would receive these new models right before the USA would. That being said, I believe we are going to wait to see what happens.
