How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?
The estimated real-world range for Kia Soul EV Standard Range (2020-…) is 146 miles, ranking it №217 out of 264 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:
Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.
These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.
What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?
