EVs are city bound until they can do double the mileage of a gas tank and don't lose significant charge staying warm while parked without a charger in sight. Oh, and they need to be comparably priced to gas/hybrid vehicles in their class.

The new Kia Soul is a cool car. There I said it. Deal with it.





NA motor standard. 1.6T 200 HP, 7DCT available. EV available with 200 HP / 300 tq... 650 watt sound system available.
I think it's not AWD though.
