Kia says: http://insideevs.com/kia-soul-ev-wins-motorweek-drivers-choice-award/

Soul EV received an overall crash/safety rating of 4 stars. The 4-star rating puts it equal with the BMW i3. Here's a link to the Euro NCAP test results for the Soul EV http://www.euroncap.com/results/kia/soul_ev/572.aspx And a video of the crash test...

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...

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...

That's a total of 27 million won in incentives - on a starting price of 42 million won, that's more than a 50% incentive! Full article here: http://insideevs.com/seoul-south-korea-offers-24825-electric-car-incentives/

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...

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...

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?

Not yet, but in October, 2 were sold in Iceland, and 1 in Sweden

I didn't know there was a hamster on our forum?! :lol:

There is a detailed writeup of a test drive done in Southern California on a fully charged Soul EV. Full article here:http://insideevs.com/kia-soul-ev-range-autonomy-demonstration-nets-100-miles/ Here's how it compares to some other common EVs

This year, at the upcoming 2014 SEMA show in November, Kia is launching it's "A Day at the Races" theme which will include a Smitten Ice Cream Soul EV

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...

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...
