Exciting news to report here at Kia of Waldorf today for our valued (and growing) Waldorf, MD area Kia Soul fans, as our automaker has very recently confirmed that we will be seeing an all-electric version of this popular and versatile model!
This new, completely electric Soul model will retain all of the funky styling and interior volume that customers have grown to love and expect, but it will add a completely zero emission, battery powered engine underneath the hood, instead of traditional gasoline.
Orth Hedrick, who is the executive director of product planning for Kia Motors America recently explained Kia's desire to roll out this all-electric model, "Eco-consciousness already comes standard on the all-new Soul with 85-percent of its materials able to be recycled at the end of its lifespan, and the Soul EV will further demonstrate Kia's engineering capabilities as well as our commitment to producing vehicles with reduced environmental footprints. The Soul has always been a terrific choice for drivers in urban environments, and the all-new version's blend of technology, refinement, style, improved dynamics and value has allowed us to create a car that is as efficient as it is fun to drive."1
When could we expect to see this model? We anticipate that Kia will debut the all-electric version at one of the upcoming major auto shows in Detroit or New York.
