The Soul EV is Kia’s first all-electric, zero-emissions car sold in the U.S. and it was launched in early 2014.
Engine
The front-wheel drive Soul EV is powered by an 81.4 kW, 109hp electric motor. The liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet motor uses multi-layer magnets to help improve efficiency. The motor delivers its power to the front wheels through a single-speed constant-ratio gear reduction unit. Acceleration from 0-60 mph is expected to take fewer than 12 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to approximately 90 mph.
Range and Charging
The Soul EV uses a highly energy-dense lithium-ion polymer battery to minimize buyers' range anxiety. Located beneath the floor, the 27kWh, air-cooled, 200 watt-hour/kg battery is expected to yield a range of approximately 80-100 miles (129-161km) on a full charge. In an effort to maximize efficiency and range, the Soul EV uses Kia’s third-g...
