Level 2 charging Level 2 charging

Charge time estimates are based on using a 240-volt charging circuit charging from empty to 100% battery capacity. Level 2 is the fastest way to charge at home, though charging times can vary and are dependent on factors such as the capabilities of the charging circuit, charging equipment and the vehicle’s onboard charger. Level 2 charging time provided by Chrome Data, a JD Power company.

DC fast charging DC fast charging

DC fast charging is the fastest way to charge and only available at pay-for-use public charging stations, though some EVs come with complimentary charging for a limited time. Real-world DC fast charging times can vary greatly, even on the same vehicle, because of this type of charging’s sensitivities to ambient and battery conditions. DC fast charging time provided by Chrome Data, a JD Power company.

Battery capacity Battery capacity

Battery capacity is measured in kilowatt-hours, which is a measure of how much energy is used over time. A 70-kWh battery has more energy capacity than a 50-kWh battery and would result in a longer driving range if all other factors were equal. But more battery capacity doesn’t always mean longer range because of differences in energy consumption from vehicle to vehicle. Battery capacity provided by Chrome Data, a JD Power company.

Everyday I'm Shufflen

I love my KIA Soul EV , this is my 3rd KIA vehicle and I kinda feel bad for saying this is my favorite. I have loved each of them. Each KIA vehicle has a personality of it's own, I Highly suggest to go test drive each or the type you are interested in, then decide what is your favorite, and go for it. You will not go wrong owning a KIA. KIA of Savannah is wonderful.

I LOVE it and want to own it!

I love this car so much that I am looking to buy it. I couldn't believe how smooth and quiet it was driving it. The interior was luxurious for the base model in my opinion compared to other cars based model. I think it's a bit highly priced, but when compared with what it offers and other Electric cars, it actually is good enough.

I Absolutely Love my Kia Soul EV!

This is my first electric car and I love it! I plug it in when I get home into a regular 110 outlet. I have had it charge up to 150 miles. This varies, what I have been told is it depends on the temperature. If it is too cold or too hot the charge is lower. In the winter no less than 112, in the summer typically 127 or more. I drive it in B as opposed to D which makes it more energy efficient. It is peppy, fun to drive! The base model has heated seats and steering wheel and a back up camera. The seats are really comfortable and there's so much room. I leased the car and got a fantastic deal! I highly recommend this car! Love, love, love it!!!
