Fireball drives the 2015 KIA SOUL EV for a week… Wait, did you hear that?
For Cars, Movies and Cool… it’s Fireball Tim!
I doubt it… This is an electric car and one helluva fun ride…
A week in this Caribbean Blue 2015 KIA SOUL EV went by way too fast. I’m not sure what it is, but when you drive an EV, you just want to go everywhere quick. Maybe it’s because you can’t actually believe that you’re in an electric car or you’re convinced that if you hammer it home, you’ll actually hear something other than wind noise. But… you don’t. And it’s just plain fun… again.
I like the design of the car. It’s simple, boxy, funky and young looking. I got about a 92mile charge and for Malibu, that’s pretty much driving all day and coming back with about 40 miles left. But again, it’s fun and you want everyone to know that you’re driving it. “Hey, did you know this is an EV? Check it out!”
The car is about $36K, so it’s not for the empty pocket crowd and students, unless Dad’s gonna pony up the dough, but it is for the 20somethings that are doing their thing and greenen the planet while they do. Tons of room if you want to camp… close by. Tons of seats for your friends to go with you to Concerts… close by, and enough doodads and doohickies inside to keep you totally distracted. But don’t be, otherwise you’ll end up in the pokie and not be driving your EV. Up to you, though.
Ooo, it’ so cute you’re gonna wanna let it sleep in your bed with you.

So you lay out 36 Grand plus electricity to charge it every day. The gasoline model costs less than half that. It would be far cheaper to take the savings from the purchase and buy gas for the next 17 years and have all the extended range.
I don’t think they will sell many of these once people do the math.
