Has anyone seen or heard of installing thin film PV on the Soul EV roof to charge the battery?! This is a link to a company that offers a thin film PV "sheet" for the roof of a golf cart...

Nice deal!

My HOA has been "difficult" in the past. And has treated me unfairly -- holding me to rules that others get to break, and/or get waived! They want a 3 bicycle limit per unit and I have 4 people in my family. This was while I was on the Board -- the rest of the Board supposedly had a meeting...

How did you determine what fee you should pay to the HOA for your electricity usage? Thanks in advance!

My commute is about 30 miles round trip, so with 93 mile range, I could charge at work every other day. If I stop at a Whole Foods Market near my home, I can use a free L2 charger while doing some groceries and stretch out another day without charging, probably. My job is supposed to be moving...

Yes, monthly payments include tax and all costs and fees. It really is "renting" a car for $240/month! I didn't pay anything to drive off the lot as the first payment, registration, doc fee, etc. was deducted from the $12500 rebate. I should receive $2500 CA state debate in a couple of...

In the end, I got quotes that ranged from $235/month to $299/month with $0 drive offs and 12K/miles, 36 months. Some dealers simply commented that my best deals were $3000+ below invoice and were indeed good deals. Some wouldn't give me a quote at all, just asked me to come in and they...

I have been doing some research on charging, got my EV+ late last night. Haven't been too worried since I have chargers at work and always a stall open at least every other day. Condo has dedicated parking spots and the HOA owned 120v outlet is right next to my parking spot. Trying to figure...

I got my Kia EV + late last night from downtown LA!

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. Maybe try TrueCar for free price quotes in NY? That price sounds high to me! Good luck!

I will definitely check out your link -- thank you, vanillagorilla!

12,000 miles, 36 months I think I was told last night (I might have misheard) was the following: 2016 Kia Soul EV+ lease terms MSRP 30250 $0 due at signing $239/month residual value $14,668.50 no additional hidden costs or fees $239 x 36 months = $8604 less $2500 CA rebate = $6104...

Soul EV+ 2016 0 down $239/month No other fees or hidden costs or security deposit. $2500 CA state rebate not included in monthly price. Residual is something like $14600 (I don't have my notes right in front of me). Thoughts? Thanks! Excited to get my first EV!
