Acceleration from 0-60 mph is expected to take fewer than 12 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to approximately 90 mph.

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...
