Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric Kia e-Soul van:- The Kia e-Soul van has a 64-kilowatt-hour battery and should have the same range as other e-Souls.
- The plan is to go on a Sunday driving excursion on typical Norwegian highways.
- During the test, the Kia e-Soul van will travel at a maximum of 90 kilometers per hour.
- Another rule is to always hug the middle or left lane.
- It’s important to minimize use of the car's climate control system, but it’s okay to turn on the fan or heater.
- Attempting to draft behind a truck during the test won’t work since the truck will be going too fast.
- The distance on the display said there was 400 km range, but with Norwegian driving styles, it should be possible to go more than 500 km.
- Asian cars are reliable.
- En route the car's main display stopped working for a bit but came back on.
- The drive had been going for 3 hours and the state of charge on the display indicated 61.5 per cent battery remaining.
- In the Tesla supercharger at Nebbenes (Nebbenæs), the car’s battery heater only seems to be active until about 15 degrees, at which point it then throttle the charging.
- The test vehicle reached almost 462 kilometers.-
