    Why doesn't Kia post sales numbers for Soul EV?

    Why doesn't Kia post sales numbers for Soul EV? Who knows, but Kia World was still able to get the number. Kia has sold 109 of the units in the US market, and 14 units in Canada. This is in the electric vehicle's debut month with limited dealer inventory, so I think it's safe to expect this...

    Accessory Hitches and Bike Racks

    I wouldn't rule out a normal bike rack just yet... With the Nissan Leaf it wasn't long until somebody pulled off the rear panel to find places to mount a hitch. On the Soul EV, assuming the battery pack doesn't cover up the conventional hitch mounting locations, I'd expect a standard hitch...

    Hey Tigger, Still no confirmation on dates: "Basically, Kia tells us that the Soul EV will only be available in California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey and Maryland." http://insideevs.com/kia-soul-ev-exclusive-rollout-information-live-images-from-2014-la-auto-show/ Also a comment further...

    SF Bay Area Lease deals

    Hi Ray, In Downtown LA dealerships are selling right at the recommended Kia rate of $249/mo for 36 months, with $1,999 due at signing. 0.9% APR I was under the impression there aren't enough Soul EVs around yet so demand is keeping the lease price right where it started... I did find these...

    Kia Soul EV next to strange SlashGear vehicle

    SlashGear did a review of the 2015 Kia Soul EV, took it for a drive, and was pretty happy with it. What I want to know, though, is what's with the vehicle beside it in this picture? Anyone know details about this ratrod car?

    First Couple Hundred Miles

    Thanks for sharing! I never really thought of it before, but a bottom-hinged pedal is a much better feel. I remember years ago an old Toyota 4x4 truck I had used a bottom hinged pedal and it had a great feel, easy to monitor throttle even on bumpy terrain! What color and options did you end up...

    Kia Soul EV commercial airs during MTV video awards

    A strange, yet interesting, commercial featuring the Kia Soul EV and some hamster humanoids who produce unlikely results from their scientific test machines don't really have much to say about the electric vehicle itself. So, hard to say how successful it will be, but then again, how successful...

    buying a Kia Soul EV in California.

    Saffron. Kia hasn't revealed/announced any of that information yet. The KIA US site still says the Soul EV will be here sometime in Fall 2014. The best you can do is sign up for updates on the KIA USA site. It is by zip code so in theory they will provide you with geo-relevent information when...

    New colour on the European web site - Black with red!

    Sorry to hear that! I wonder if the Soul EV will handle/ride any differently? It's definitely heavier with the battery pack, but I don't know if or what changes Kia made to the suspension...

    Oh no! Sorry to hear about the delay... is there any official press release from Kia about that? I wonder what the problem was... did they do the wrong color?

    Kia Soul EV photos from 'The Car Guide' test drive

    Notice the trunk space isn't affected by a battery pack! Overall, the author of the article was impressed, especially since Kia seems to be conservative in it's acceleration numbers and range estimates. More photos on the Car Guide website...
