Calling all Kia Soul EV drivers in upstate New York. Please join us for the largest National Drive Electric Week event in NY. Seven Soul EVs signed up already. Come and take a free ride on a Proterra E2 electric bus. BMW will have it's new electric C-evolution motorcycle on display...

All three of my local Kia dealers have two Soul EVs in stock. Garvey Kia in Queensbury, NY has a silver plus model with the sun and fun package. They've had it since November and it still hasn't moved off the lot.

Thanks for the details. Are the monthly payments including the tax? Mike

Congratulations!

That sounds like an incredible deal to me, but I'm in NY. I got a quote today for a 2016, $34,925, 36 mo, 10-k miles, for $199/mo. and 2-k down. We don't [yet] have a state EV rebate like CA.

As far as I've heard, Kia only offers 36 and 48 month leases.

It sounds good but for how many miles per year please?

That was a long day and I feel bad for you. I wanted to point out that the Soul EV is front wheel drive so there is no reason that your car couldn't have been towed with a wheel lift tow truck like this.

Yeah, I didn't get that either.

While on vacation in San Juan I was surprised to see a black and red Soul EV on the road. It was the only EV I had seen for the entire week. I wasn't aware that hey were available in Puerto Rico. Has anyone else heard of them being available there, or was this one imported?

Interesting. What will be different in the 2016 model please?

Same here in NY. :|

Thanks for this and congrats. What is the $9-k rebate please?

I too, appreciate your in depth review. Did you ever put winter tires on it, or just made do with the originals? I'd love to see a picture of the car with your new 12 lb. wheels. What brand are they please? I'd like to see the spoiler too. Mike

Agreed! ;) Did you notice though, that none of the five new states are in the chilly northeast?
