    Soul EV sales figures

    They don't want to offer it in all states until they have the service infrastructure in place. I would think that there isn't much infrastructure needed but they do need to train staff and install L3/L2 chargers at the dealerships before they can start selling the EV. I called the national...

    Vancouver, BC

    When I saw your post, my knee jerk response was "NO, don't do that". But looking at plugshare there are plenty of options for you to charge and complete this trip with no issues. Yes, a little planning may be required.

    Is 2017 the Year of the Electric Car Price Drop?

    The rumor has it that most of the EV manufacturers are planning to have a minimum range of 135-150 miles on one charge for their MY 2017 vehicles. Yes, if there are still some EVs left with 80-90 mile range they'd need to cut the price drastically. There will still be market for those as there...

    Any hints about 2017 release date?

    I doubt if we will see anything in July. If anything the new models may be available later this year. Have you looked into extending your lease for a few months? There are threads on MNL forum about extensions.

    is this a good lease deal?

    What is your location? I'd try to get them lower on the drive off and do the 12K miles lease.

    Which charger station do you recommend?

    Yes, I got the JuiceBox so that I can be ready to charge at a higher rate if the upcoming Gen 2 EVs have a higher rate charger. I'd recommend this EVSE.

    Arizona SOUL EV Heat testing

    Hello Joy, I am in Phoenix metro area and I really wanted to get the SOUL EV after seeing it. I talked to the dealers in California who were very willing to do remote paperwork and put it on a truck to be delivered to me here in Phoenix. Before I finalized the deal I decided to talk to local...

    is this a good lease deal?

    That is a good deal. When I was looking at a Kia Soul EV I was getting a EV base at this price after much negotiation. You got a + with fun and sun so yes this is a good deal. I did no purchase a Soul as there is no service support in Arizona.

    Share your service experience at non EV-certified dealer

    Update: I spoke with multiple KIA dealers here in town. None of them are EV certified and they have no clue how soon would that happen. They said they could help with small service related stuff and tweaks etc., but for anything that would need to be billed to Kia would be a no go as they are...

    Charging cable for 240V - which one?

    It sure looks nice and I was tempted (as I am in the market for an EVSE) but I wish it was a little cheaper. Here is a noob question (coming from someone who has never used an EVSE).......Does it really help to have an EVSE with a mobile app to remote start, schedule and set charging reminders...

    Automatic Parking

    Thanks for the share. This does look pretty promising. Any guesses on what that additional hardware module on the top is? If any additional hardware or sensors are needed for automatic parking then this would be a feature only for next gen SOUL EV.

    Share your service experience at non EV-certified dealer

    Thank you. I agree that you are better off finding someone who's happy to work on your car. How often do you need new brake pads and coolant change? I am assuming that non EV certified dealers may not have this diagnostic tool in my state and shipping car out of state for every service may get...

    Charging cable for 240V - which one?

    It would help to know your location so that folks can recommend something that is available in your country. Please take a moment to update your profile and add your location.

    Am I crazy for wanting to buy instead of lease?

    That's awesome!! Congratulations. Would you mind sharing the details (numbers) of your lease?

    Share your service experience at non EV-certified dealer

    Looking for some feedback from folks who bought their SOUL EV from out of state (or from a different city) and have no EV-certified dealers in their state/city. How was your experience when you took it to the dealer? Were they able to help you or was there a lot of run around? I know of one case...
