Sounds like its gonna be around $35,000. I think I'll be ok sticking with a gas powered Soul.

^^ That's the MSRP before federal/state rebate, plus like all other EV at the moment, you will only be able to lease it anyway.

Kia will probably offer substantial discount for leasing agreement maybe a year after it comes out. All the car makers are trying to bump up their EV sales/lease number if they still want to sell their cars in California in a few years. Since CA passed law requiring a certain percentage of all cars sold/leased by each maker be zero emission in order to continuing selling their brand in CA.

I wonder if it's more geared for performance like a Tesla, or more geared for mileage like a Leaf. If the Soul had the massive torque of performance electrics like Tesla vehicles, that would be pretty sweet.

One thing about the Soul...... it has a monstrous ROOF, a beautiful place for a HUGE Solar Cell Array.
(like the Fisker)

You can buy the: Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi i-MIEV, Tesla Model S,Toyota Rav-4 EV, Ford Focus Electric, Chevy Spark EV, and a few more. I forgot about the rebate, but I still find it to be a lot of money for a fast depreciating car.

Looks like they weren't too happy about people taking pics of the Soul EV just days ahead of the worldwide release! This site has some pics of an angry looking passenger approaching the cameraman!
