8. Kia Soul EV
The Kia Soul EV offers a 93 mile EPA estimated driving distance with a charging time of 4 to 5 hours on a 240-volt system. The Soul EV has all the features the regular Soul has, wrapped in an electronic package. The suspension is finely tuned, offering a smooth ride, and there is marginal body roll when making turns. The Soul EV is well equipped, including navigation, a rear camera, Bluetooth, and UVO EV services to monitor distance-to-discharged, check battery-charge status, and search for charging stations. The Soul EV might be a little bit pricey (as most EVs are), but as with other EVs, the MSRP can be seriously whittled with government subsidies such as a $7500 federal tax rebate. California also offers a $5000 rebate on the purchase or lease of zero-emissions or plug-in-hybrid vehicles.
