So has anyone found a set (preferably all-weather) that actually fit, or fit reasonably, or can be trimmed?

After seeing this comment :

Seems like 2015 Kia Soul non-EV mats are not going to work for front seat.

How about the rear seat sets...anyone tried a regular 2015 Soul set?

These sure look pretty close:

Just an update : Weathertech do not sell a compatible product with the Soul EV yet.

Here's a comparison I made of the floor mats with the Soul EV (left) and Soul EX (right, gas):

Lot of differences, especially the attach points on the front mats
 
Lloyd's mats work great. They are custom cut for the soul EV. Cost a bit more but they will out last the car!
 
I ended up getting these and trimming them up with some shears:

Not a perfect fit and they don't look as good as something like the weathertech mats, but for $20, they'll work.
 
You can get the Lloyds mats in Canada from http://www.musclecarsandclassics.ca/lloyd-rubbertite-custom-fit-floor-mats

Ironic that a muscle car store supplies mats for an EV :)

I ordered mine last week, haven't shipped yet but they say about 2 weeks for shipping.
 
Hi - Situation still hasn't improved with WeatherTech - apparently they have NO products for any EV cars...

Suggested submitting product requests to: http://www.weathertech.com/service/product-request-form/

I've done that, but let me suggest that others do the same!

Until then, any good suggestions beyond the Home Depot onesizefitsall mats? Looks like we're actually going to have a winter in New Jersey after all! :cry:

Thanks...
 
I bought Lloyd's Northbridge custom mats. They're the only show in town for the Kia EV. They're decent, but don't have flanges around the edges. They stink for quite awhile, so make sure you air them out for several days.
 
Thanks, SiLiZiUMM, for the photo comparison! That really helps! My KIA dealership didn't even know or realize the mats were different between the Soul ICE and Soul EV. Shared your pic with them.

Realy jones'n for the WeatherTech brand FloorLiner. Sadly they still don't have one for the Soul EV even though they have it for the ICE model. As EVHamsterNJ suggested, I used WeatherTech's Product Request Form: http://www.weathertech.com/service/product-request-form/, to suggest including the Soul EV.

The Lloyd's Northbridge custom mats just don't speak to me. Even though as kmaluo mentions, they seem to be the only game at this town for rubberized floor mats for the Soul EV.

Still Holding out...
 
I made my own floor mats after seeing how quickly the stock light gray mats get dirty. I purchased 2 rubber backed carpet tiles traced the pattern from the stock mats on the back and cut out with a razor knife. The whole project took about 45 minutes. Not sure how to upload pictures.
 
You first have to upload the pics to a place like imgur, so they live on the web somewhere.
Then in this textbox you hit the [ img ] button and paste the address.

But the image must live on the web somewhere, first.
 
I bought the carpet tiles at Ollie's Bargain Outlet, they are 2ft x 2ft and cost $1.79 each. I purchased extras in different patterns to change the look inside the car. There are a couple of locations in Raliegh, NC.
