If you are putting money down ($2,5000), I think you can get it around $269 with taxes included for 15 k miles per year for 36 months, we were quoted that for a silver EV+ that was rare at the time. We ended up buying a Black and Red EV+ at a different dealer that had ordered too many black and...

I have not noticed an abnormally choppy ride in my Soul EV+, in fact overall I would say its one of the smoothest cars I have driven, possibly because of the extra battery weight it carries. However I live in Southern CA, so the roads are not too bad here. I drive about 70% highway with the...

We also own a Soul EV+ and I too was dissapointed at first in the acceleration when I first test drove it. However before I drove the Soul, I drove the Spark EV and E Golf which are both faster off the line and set me up for disappointment. Deciding we wanted the most range (sub Tesla) and...

Thanks all, great advice!

Thanks for your input!

Hi, I am a new Kia Soul EV owner and I'm about ready to purchase a level 2 charger and would appreciate any insights you all have. I am thinking a 7.2 kw, 30 amp system is best, but I want to make sure I am not buying over (or under) the cars ability to take a charge (due to bottleneck issues)...

Thanks everyone, we bought one last night based on the info you all posted and so far we are very pleased with it. It had 93 miles of range when we picked it up and 55 when we got home after driving 39 miles mostly on highways going slightly upgradient most of the trip and ending with a steep 2...

What lease price are you getting quoted up there? I will probably buy one today or tomorrow if I can get a good price? I want a 3 year 15k miles per year lease with $2500 down that covers up front costs and cap reduction.

Thanks for the responses so far, they are definitely helping me. I have a new question about range loss based on the responses above, although i am guessing no one has put enough miles on their Souls to have an answer yet. Since we are going to get a 3 yr, 15k miles per year lease, we expect...

Hi, we are considering leasing a new Kia Soul EV+ and I want to ask a question about range that is specific to our needs. My wife will be traveling 31 miles (each way) or 62 (RT) from Riverside/Corona area in CA to Tustin, CA. Do you all think this trip is possible with 30 miles of range to...
