KIA Soul EV 2019 - zero emissions electric compact cars | Fully Charged
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Now in its second generation, the Kia Soul EV zero emissions city car has grown up a bit. Jonny Smith test drives it on the road in Frankfurt, Germany in this 4k review for Fully Charged.
It’s still smaller than its E-Niro cousin, but the Soul’s looks have matured and - most importantly - its range and performance have grown up. Now with a choice of two ranges/batt packs, the Soul steps closely to being a sub £30k car with near 300 mile range. And with 7 years of warranty. Another reason why the Korean EV Hyundai/Kia gang are forging ahead in the energy dense and exceptional value affordable EV market.
**CORRECTION: The Kia Soul EV 2019 is actually 4195 mm long (~165 inches), not 1605 mm as quoted on graphics!**

"they've sold over 1.6 million souls" sorry but that just sounds terrifying!!
That's a hilarious comment!
They must be REALLY good at the guitar by now.
haha i thought the same when i heard it xD
most of them probably went to gingers
(bad joke i know)
The Devil wants your Soul. "Get out of the car, now!"
i love this channel. you guys are so enthusiastic. your general excitement for EVs makes it so fun to watch.
@@barriewilliams4526 i'm lucky i live in Norway, so EVs are everywhere pluss a lot of charging stations, and EVs are pretty cheap :D
"It's all just plastic, it doesn't mean anything." Beautifully articulated, poetic review of an interesting new EV. Bravo!
Well, it is boring car. By defination.
He's talking about the SUV package which is nothing but meaningless plastic.
@@MiesvanderLippe At least if it was cheap and easily replaceable plastic it could have some utility function.
William Fry when are you starting your own ev review channel? I'll make sure I don't watch it.
@@MiesvanderLippe Yeah, I just thought it was fun Johnny-ism. Who knew shade would come my way... oh, right, it's the internet.
The Fully Charged videos are the most informative I've seen so far with a positive way of rating and looking at one of my favorites, Kia Soul EV.
Jonny Smith is just so good at reviewing cars, incredible passion and personality that really shines through
Way better than the new guy they hired recently, he makes me not want to watch
He IS the Carpervert.
hard changes in my life right now, meanwhile this show gives me a sense of normalcy and puts a smile on my face. I'm so glad you finally posted again.
First the E Soul, can’t wait for the racing version with a more powerful electric motor - the “R Soul” haha
Roo Or the one you have to assemble yourself, the I KIA.
Popular with pirates?
The Soul-R (Solar)
The R-Soul to fit on the Sporty Ford Ka: The Ka Si ? Sorry, bit of a shitty comment! :-).
I was reading that, so I was a little slow on the uptake, but, yeah, that's worth a grin.
Johnny on hands and knees crawling around a car commenting on styling - that is why I love this channel!
yeah but did you notice he missed the black plastic over the front wheel
*See that Kia in their online Brochure have described it as "FULLY CHARGED WITH FUN DESIGN DETAILS" **_Wow you have big impact Jonny with your Fully Charged Videos !_*
So cool that this is a car review, rather than an EV review. I own a Tesla Model 3, but have great respect for how Hyundai has embraced electrification -- all the reviews are pretty strong.
Tom Harrison Thank you so much Tom. I try to review cars as cars - as well as considering their drivetrains.
man you guys are just the best channel for anything EV related or new technologie
I have said this over and over. The Soul, with its massive flat roof would simply be great for a recharging solar panel. I know that a single panel is not a "quick charge" solution but at least is a start. As a work commuter, I drive less than 20 km to work. A recharge while working only makes sense. My car packs in the sun so why not recharge.
I am impressed with the German 'Sono'. Why not apply this technology to other vehicles?
Would work well as a trickle power source for AC or heating in the cold markets. So no putting the heater or AC on full when you come back to the car. The original Leaf had a pv option on the rear rooftop spoiler
Very good idea indeed!
But would the KW/h produced by the solar roof compensate for the additional weight from its addition?
Because, AFAIK, that‘s the reason most manufacturers don‘t put solar panels onto their car‘s roofs.
@@ExBenzi2 Oh heavens no. Solar energy accumulation panels or material has gotten so thin, so light weight. What about the 4 spinning wheels? Generator's perhaps? What about small turbines that can spin while driving? Who knows. There are power producing pads that work when vibration is sensed. I believe they are used for light rail train systems.
That with the option of battery preheating for cold weather.
Always liked these, much more interesting shape than the usual euro box
Props to the editor for putting the Kia start up sound at the very end in sync with the "thank you" animation!
Another great video from Johnny! Great work fully charged! 👍👍👍👍
Agreed. I think he's getting better and better.
When that jingle played I could smell new car smell. I'm not joking. It triggered something in my memory.
We’re starting to see a lot of the new Soul (gas version) in the US. I love the styling, so much better than the last model.
If they truly are delivering a 300 mile range for roughly $32K, it would appear that KIA has cracked the code. *Affordability + great warranty + great range = best value in the industry!*
I have one here in Sweden, i drive 420km-460km if i stick to the speed limits thats are from 30km/h to 100km/h
Another great video and, at last, another person other than me wearing a Faraday Past tee shirt. Maybe Mark can use some of their classic tracks as incidental music in future videos?
russvhill2 Now there’s an idea...
The Soul is extremely popular in America as a small car with lots of cargo capacity. Every single model year, I see them around Washington, DC weeks after the new ones come out.
When you sit in the Soul you understand why people like it: height, view, seat comfort, heads up display, controls locations. Love it. Want it. Sadly, won't.
Top-notch Journalism there Jonny!
2:12 to 2:28 wow. I haven't seen anyone get such passionate about some plastic.
loved the crawl-around !
IMHO the Soul EV is one of the coolest electric vehicles out there.
Granted, it‘s design is controversial, but I for my part, like it a lot. It looks quite a bit like a japanese ‚Kei-Car‘ and it is practical (and roomy) as hell.
Kia and Hyundai are doing a great job on EVs. Props to them!
Love your auto reviews. They have a lot of soul.
I want it in America yesterday. So eager to test drive it!
I’m so glad this car exists.
Hoping to put three more years on my current Soul and then I'd seriously consider this. Just need to get my head around that purchase price!
Great viideo. .Have driven the E SOUL For 2 and a half years love it.Best car ever till i seen the up grade the range inrease will mean i dont need to rent a car for our holidays.thanks Gez.
That blue really works with the weird shape. The green one in the intro is also interesting :D
I like this a lot, love the front and rear lights, looks proper futuristic. Nice one
I think there's a typo about the length of the car (at 3:14): I'm pretty sure it's more than 1.6m in length (or it's shrunk quite a bit from the previous model) 😉
was wondering about that as well...🤔
Yea i doubt it's wider than it is long. xD
Special Tadis edition
hard to be 1 whole metre shorter than its wheelbase.
It expands when charged...
Can't believe how much I like it, maybe I'm turning funky!!
This is the kind of car that your grandma accidentally buys you for Christmas because she thought it was a Tesla 3, and the sales person reassured her it could be exchanged if it wasn't the one her grandchild wanted.
But it looks good tbh and I wouldn't exchange it
I wouldn't say no to this as a present from granny! Just hope it doesn't blow up "real good" in the garage, though!
A Soul for you! And one for you! And one for everyone!
It's a cool ass car.
I'd rather buy this any other car right now, except for the Tesla cars ofc. But then again, I don't have the money nor do these cars sell in my country.
I never really thought about it, but an EV that uses lots of plastics is basically using oil for that, the very thing it wants to get rid of. Our plastics dependency is very worrying, we really need to find an economically and ecologically viable alternative.
I don’t think anyone really expects EV’s to eliminate all uses of oil. They exist to stop us setting it on fire to get the kids to school or to get to the supermarket.
@@tjwelsh1438 I expect it to eliminate all uses of oil because at some point, may it be far away, we will run out of it.
Plastics can be made from corn or soy.
Not everone rides evs for ecological benefits.
Had a Kona when delivering the Nissan Leaf at a repair shop while on vacation. Choosed the Kona since it looked larger. Well, there was almost no legspace in the backseat and we had to repack the luggage to make it fit, but because of a LOT of space wasted in the luggage compartment we had to leave lot of stuff in the Leaf
The e Niro is by far the best of the Hyundai/Kia bunch. Same drive train but a decent size. The LEAF is a traditional hatchback, with a best in class boot, it's massive. I would expect the Kona and Soul to be far less practical than the LEAF.
Awesome Review.. Well covered quite exhaustive. You made me orient towards considering Hyundai and Kia options as well.
My mom drives a 2016 Kia Soul, which I've always been keen about. It's a wonderful vehicle, save the quite sensitive brakes (for me, that is).
Souls are quite plentiful where she lives in Central Florida. It's an area specific for retirees and seniors really appreciate the ease of entry/egress. The Honda Odyssey is about as plentiful in her area for the very same reason.
Chad-emo alive and well! Matching faraday past t shirt and matching blue sneakers with same yellow laces! One has to contrive that it’s intentional!
great review as usual Johnny , people here bitching about price, this car is very affordable, come try to by it in Canada, the same car he tested in Canada will cost just under $60k you have nothing to complain about
I think the Kia Soul EV will sell in truck loads. As long as they make enough of them, fast enough. And it's time to review the new MG ZS EV. James, from the James and Kate channel, got his hands on one in the UK spec and was knocked out by the overall package for the price. Nice video, as always.
I'm yet to see the sense in putting the charge points in main crash areas. Maybe the time will come when an extra emergency port will be put under the back seat or something.
thanks for pointing that out. didn't even notice that. would be good to have an extra port though.
I guess when you park nose in on the street it makes sense to have the charging port at the front. Good point though.
It makes charging much easier. I have seen people navigating their e-golf to access charging spots.
I do not care if a charging point is damaged in an accident. That's what a car insurance is for.
I guess I'm thinking if you have a little knock end can't charge your car to get home etc.
I think some do it because the charger at charge stations is nearly always right infront as you park, like on normal cars the fuel cap is always at the side of the car as you have to park at the side of a fuel pump
Saying that the i3 has it on the side
Brilliant video. Sums up the soulEV perfectly. I have the 2018 version and based on this review i will be looking at getting the 2020 version when it comes to renewing. I've had mine a year and not had one single problem. In fact it still gives me that novelty factor when i drive it. Best feature is that beats any car from a standing start. love it!
I own the 2016 Kia Soul EV , I live in Austin,TX and let me tell you. People who own these cars love them for a reason! I’m faster then most cars on the road , I make money doing Uber and charging for free, I do deliveries for a furniture store and make money on deliveries , all in an electric car. I have driven to Dallas and San Antonio! And can’t wait to upgrade to the 2020 soon or the 2019 one day
Come visit me and I will show you what an electric car can do!
Love this channel. Great reviews with great content. Thanks guys.............
First of all let me say that Jonny always does an excellent car-review, and Fully Charged is a wonderful Channel. I may not always appreciate what's on offer because I'm such a ghastly oik, but I thoroughly enjoy ALL of the videos. Yes. I'm subscribed. Oh, and YAY, Robert, too. ♥
I still prefer the old intro, by the way. [No, I WOULDN'T LET IT LIE, as Vic and the other Bob would have said.]
Enough of me trying to be nice. I'm essentially a very, very bad girl, so here's what I think of this car. I'm going to be a mite contrary.
I love the tech, but I hate the tech. Meaning... the fact that it's an EV with a battery pack, some wheels, and ooh, all sorts of essential EV things, is good. What INFURIATES me (grrr, Elli smash) is that there's so much nonsense crammed in to justify the hilarious price.
"Ah, but it's necessary, madam - it's added value, d'you see? People expect their little luxuries, ha ha ha, so they feel they're buying a premium product but at an affordable price... Now, take the Tesl- "
STOP RIGHT THERE. Stop it or you'll get a slap. I don't use the 'T' word.
Air conditioning? Electric windows? No, mate. I lived in Kenya for a while in the 1970s. Slap, bang on the Equator. Oh, the heat! The flies! And the drums! Carstairs, do something about those demmmed, demmmed DRUMS! I can't... stand... Aaargh!
Sorry. Bit of a flashback, there. Anyhoo: leave your (white) Peugeot 404 in the midday sun for 20 minutes and the measured - not guessed - interior temperature would often hit 59°C (138°F).
Cars didn't have air-con or region-specific climate control or refrigerated bloomin' seats; they had hand-cranked windows, a newspaper to cover the windscreen, and another one to sit on. Open the doors, stand well back, count to ten, cover the seat, get in, go. Perfectly adequate. Nobody complained.
And as for all of the KIA's 'essential' smart systems and cameras and safety features and driving aids and screens and displays and sensors and the ability to control it from your mobile phone... Well, pardon my French, but that just makes me bl**dy angry. Expensive toys.
Please, someone - make a cheap EV.
I'll provide the newspapers. I always found the Standard provided better coverage than the Nation or Taifa Leo. (But then I've always had a pretty huge bum...)
Elli P underrated comment.
Also think the EV market is skewed towards the gadgety end of the market. I guess there aren’t many charging stations in the wilds of Kenya. Swappable batteries also should be explored more.
Like a lot of cars that were derived from gas or diesel cars, they waste the front 'engine' bay as storage space. Ground up EV designs, like Tesla or Rivian, package the mechanicals, which are much more compact in e-vehicles than ICE vehicles, so as to use that space better.
Sadly, ground-up new EV monocoques are more expensive though: mass production lowers cost with those Niros, Konas, eGolfs etc.
But monocoque is the future. In the moment the cars start to become moncoque and aerodynamic, probably also light, the EV will have come to the point he needs to be.
The Nissan leaf is still a only EV version chassis but has a common engine hood. I am not sure if it is an advantage to move the charger and drivetrain somwhere only to win a small box in the front. .
BMW has the motor in the back an not really a usable booth if you don't flip the backseats.
@@matneu27 BMW makes around 400 horsepower and has a ermgency engine as generator on board. Making it unpractical by design.
Also, strong rumors are spreading that Lexus is going to introduce an EV with 4 electric engines located in the wheel wells, completely nullifying whatever intital non-problems there was in the first place. If it's true, this would be another breakthrough.
Another well done review. Simply love them!
Excellent report. However, I live in southern Florida, USA and I would not appreciate a glass roof due to the heat from the sun so I hope it will be an option not the default. This report makes the Kia EV my top pick for a new car. Thanks.
On this picture there's no sunroof www.kia.com/us/en/content/vehicles/upcoming-vehicles/2020-soul-ev?file=soul-ev_2020_interior_driver-seat
I ordered a Soul EV the day they new version was announced in the UK. The delivery date is currently April 2020. I hope it comes sooner than that.
ordered one last week, delivery date supposed to be Q1 2020. Today got notified it might be as early as October 2019, so fingers crossed.
I always thought I should have waited 6 months before buying my 2014 leaf and got the soul. Looks way nicer.
I drove the 64 Kwh e-soul last week, very impressed, the lane keep assist is really good. I drove almost 200 Kms.
I found it a lot nicer than the Kona and noticed less wheel spin and much less road noise than the Kona.
75 Kw max charging on a 100+ Kw charger, not bad. I noticed max 144 Kw Regen, that was impressive and shows what the battery could be capable of if only CCS 1 could deliver more current.
Very nice! Although I just looked at Kia's USA site and the Soul EV will be sold here for 2020.
For a "controversial" car, the Soul sure is popular in middle America. We have a thing we do in our family where we count how many we see when we're out on an errand, because they're so distinctive you can't miss them. Current record is 28 in one afternoon. We can definitely use more EVs that are just regular cars, and it doesn't get much more regular than a Soul these days.
I like the front storm trooper look but he bloody back🙈
Yeah, I always hated it but it starting to grow on me.
KOKAM lithium polymer pouch cells were out early 2000s they were making cells that were powerful and good back then. I was using them for model aircraft.
Only noticed the Faraday Past T shirt at the end!
Makes you wonder why the Kona ( premium se ) is approx £4k dearer than the Soul ( first edition ) with the same battery size. The specs from what I can see are about the same, the Kona does have the ventilated seats but that's about it. Am I missing something ?
This car is more thought through than I thought it would be!
Sorry but love the irony of the Focus ST ad 😬😂😂🧱👍🏼
Be careful if your own one when asking people . “Do you like our soul ?” 😬😂😂
Really enjoy your videos / car reviews - thanks - hope you do lots more - better than 'Bobby Lew's' 'rants' videos!!
One of the best reviewer
This and Hyundai kona really get me excited for electric cars options......
Spot on review. Excellent T-shirt
Great video! Small correction: the eNiro doesn’t have a head-up display. You certainly meant the Hyundai Kona, which does have one (and which is similar in size).
I have an idea for an episode, all the hosts pick there favourite car and complete a driving related challenge for example, who can charge the least number of times driving from Spain to Manchester. I would like to see how far Evs can be pushed in real life conditions and challenges would create an opportunity for you to demonstrate this and produce great programs.
claire higgins They would all pick LR AWD Model 3 Tesla’s - it has the fastest charging speed so would win.
I hope I get one for Christmas.
How much would have cost to add soft rear panels ? $10 ? There are corners to be cut, but not all of them
We had several costly problems with a Hyundai Sonata (a single rear radar was over $800), I wonder if the Soul is going to be more problem free than a Kona ?
that lime green colour is superb. we are on our 2nd kia soul here in canada, will debate a 3rd one. great cars.
The e soul is available in Ireland to buy today! Took one for a test drive about 2 weeks ago 39,100 euro for 64 kWh battery.
They should make a sporty version of this and call it the R-Soul. It would go down great in the UK.
Knapweed brilliant.
I really like the blue and the green.
Johnny good review. I have the 2017 Soul EV +. Love the light gray leather interior. In our super hot part of the world gray stays cooler. Also gray does not show dust, etc. I cannot figure why almost all cars have black interiors. It has been a deal breaker for me; I have passed on cars I really liked since all they offered was black. I was thinking of the Nero EV and the Soul EV but I don't want black. Will wait and see what is offered in our area of the world when Soul is available. Your are correct the Nero EV has black and black/gray interrior. Saw one in town and the black interior was a turn off for me.
Need to have one of the interior designers drive a car for a summer in 100+ degree days and see how well it works. Not all of the world is in Korea or Europe where black is not an issue.
Again great work. Always look forward to a Fully Charged episode.
I don't mind the look of black, but the black dashboard is a terrible idea when the sun heats up the huge dashboards of modern cars. I live in Korea, and it's too hot in the summer. My car must be parked in the shade, or the air conditioner just can not counteract the amazing oven-like waves of heat coming from the dashboard. A grey dashboard would be a huge improvement I think.
I also have a 2012 Mitsuibishi iMiev. The dash is so large and being black the airconditioner could not cool the car. I had a custom light gray dash cover made. Helped a lot. I guess in the summer it gets hot enough there that you can appreciate a lighter cooler.
The Soul EV is not bad with the light gray interior. Once we get started it cools down nicely.
Henry Ford said "You can have any color you want as long it is black.". I believe that was during the heyday of the Ford Model T. GM got the jump on Ford; they offered colors for their cars when Ford would not.
The one thing that impressed me about the Fiat 500 was all the colors you could pick for the interior. The car was too small but had nifty interiors.
great Video as "usual" . I like to ask if you can command on sitting position in future videos. to me one of the main points in reviewing cars. thank you for your work and also doing these revs different.
This new gen of Soul, are looking damn good!
Faraday Past t-shirt, nice. I got one too at their last gig😉
An interesting vehicle, how does it compare to the Leaf? Perhaps another Fully Charged episode idear.
Nice watch.
Question to Kia (and others) - How are you going to get the charging leads out (5:40) with 1,339 litres (5:57) of stuff in the boot? - why did they not put a cover of the motor (10:39) to hold the cables which would also be close to the charge socket. Just like other EV manufacturers a simple design change would make living with them easier. - If I have another £32,300 I would buy one anyway.
Great video. I'd love if you could start adding the backseat width. We're looking for a family car that'll fit all our carseats, so it'd be great to have some of those details when describing the vehicles. Keep up the good work :)
Good to hear that Kia have decreased the cobalt in the battery. Fossil heads always bang on about cobalt and the miners in poor countries. Have they seen Nigeria and other places that have oil development destroying locals lives? Budah of Birmingham
main reason Kia wants to reduce their dependency on Cobalt is that Cobalt mining is pretty much a Chinese monopoly, they control more than 90% of the world's Cobalt supply and only release it onto the market in a trickle to keep it that way and keep prices up.
Imagine meeting your friends one day and saying " hey guy, I just sold my soul"
Just got back from holidays in Norway. I live in Belgium and never seen an e soul before.
I was surprised by the amount of e souls , seen way more than Kona/ Niro / E tron together. I just spotted 1 ICE version. So this new e soul will be a big seller.
I don't think the previous model Soul was ever offered in most of Europe.
And the new one is only starting to trickle onto the market at a very slow rate.
The outside looks fine, the inside is Fisher Price unfortunately. A bit the opposite of the i3, where the outside is not to everyone's taste (I like it), and the interior is wonderful.
By the way, the E-Soul sounds more quiet than the Kona, is this true?
The inside is pretty nice. Not BMW or Mercedes nice, but definitely in line with middle class cars of other brands.
The i3 is no way near in this category also this is far more reliable than the i3
Home charging times need to be much faster to make EVs truly mainstream. I would love one as a taxi, but I have a driver on the shift I don’t work. He does 100 miles and I do around 80 per day. It has 6 hours non use to charge at home. Not enough hours in the day at a charge rate of 15 miles per hour to make this viable.
The Kia website shows a Gray leather with some light up bits.
There is clearly some space in the front area for an aftermarket tray for a "frunk".
i`ve got a question... what about reviewing a eletric car that has been more then 5 years on the road and test they`re charging capabilities and baterie duration
The Kia soul is on trial here in Guayaquil Ecuador to possible be adopted as a taxi. If it works out this will be the new taxi that will be required when the ICE cars are retired from service. With just over 2000 taxis in service here this is a big chance for KIA. Looks like a nice car, for me I would like to see a vehicle that can accommodate people with disabilities, and a no lip tailgate.
So, do you think that the concave part of the bonnet will fill when parked in the rain?
That’s actually a 2020 model. Owned one since May in Canada. Easily the best car I’ve ever owned...and I’ve had many. I’ll never buy a petrol powered car again.
Minor issues with some of the interior pieces. Had a button delaminate on the drive selector, noisy rear power window motor, and a door panel rattles a little with the subwoofer turned up. All warrantied and fixed. Still the most fun you can have on 4 wheels
Oatz What's the point of calling it a 2020 model if you can buy it in 2019? If this continues we'll be able to buy a 2036 Audi in five years...
Very true!! But the model year always comes out a year early. The 2019 model...which is still available as a new car, is the older body style with half the range and 32kw air cooled battery.
I agree the model year vs. actual year is stupid, but that’s how it is. 🤷🏻♂️
In Europe this was listed as the 2019 model, the 2020 model was delivered from the factory from november with a type certificate that is valid from January 2020, causing the parking lots of the importers to be clogged with cars awaiting delivery.
I'm getting mine in 2 weeks, takes that long here to get the registration paperwork done and plates delivered.
Two errors in the video that I noticed. One, the batteries are made by SK Innovation, not LG Chem. Two, it's not called the e-Soul everywhere outside the UK, it's also called the Soul EV in Canada.
all right!
One thing KIA always had was a great warranty.
I have driven the Soul EV and works great for an everyday car which is mostly city driving for a lot us.
I believe some of KIAs service intervals are ridiculous (ie differential oil change every 15k miles in SUVs). KIA is pretty smart, they either get a bunch of service money or they don't have to fulfill warranty claims, either way they ensure profitability.
Not a big fan of Kia or Hyundai, but glad they exist, because they offer the market competition.
@@thelondonbroiler
I more of a Honda-Toyota person myself.
@@bikecommuter24 Me too. GM's EVs have treated me reasonably well so far.
Do like that blue colour on it. Not so sure about the rear styling, but the front is awesome. Also, good to see a sensible wheel/tyre combo - silly low profile tyres are a disaster.
Has there been any safety testing done? That's a factor in my buying decisions.
Will you review the new MG ZS EV?
Yes! We need a review of the ZS EV ASAP!
The MG is part owned by the Chinese state😦
I have the 2018 Kia Soul EV. I love it. BUT one of the selling points was being able to use the App. It doesn’t work in the UK. Will it work on the new Soul EV in the UK?
Nice crawling technique, Jonny
If you can manage to fit this into your busy schedule. Please would to do some coverage on the new MG ZS EV please? Price is interesting for the size. Thanks in advance
I drive a Citroen C3 Picasso(I'm on my second one) for its superb flexible, bulky load carrying capability along with good roomy passenger space, lots of glass, high driving position, etc. etc.
Perfect!!
This - so far, seems to be the ONLY EV which comes even close to offering something like the same level of usability in this respect. Looks good. Albeit at TWICE the price of the C3 replacement - C3 Aircross. Also, as usual, unavailable.
I buy 2/3 year old pre-loved. So, how long is it going to be before there's a good supply of affordable used Souls on the market?
Probably at least five years +, by which time new ones will be freely available to supply the used market(we can only hope)
Maybe by then there will be a simple, comprehensive, reliable, standardised public charging network out there.??!
Don't hold your breath.......
Thank you! They're nice looking!
