Real-world range of Kia Soul EV 30 kWh

The estimated real-world range for Kia Soul EV 30 kWh falls between 165–201 km, ranking it №537 out of 586 electric vehicles. 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.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

Kia Soul EV 30 kWh charge port type?

The Kia Soul EV 30 kWh in Europe comes with a CHAdeMO charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 6.6 kW, resulting in approximately 36 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 50 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
