Estimates, not measurements: the WLTP figure scaled by the same temperature and road factors for every car (for example 65% for cold motorway driving, 115% for mild city driving). Your range depends on speed, wheels, load and heating. For a planned stop, use the charging simulator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kia e-Soul 39 kWh Range & Charging FAQ

What is the real-world highway and winter range of the Kia e-Soul 39 kWh?

The official combined WLTP range for the Kia e-Soul 39 kWh is 230 km (143 miles).

In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 166 km (103 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.

How long does it take to charge the Kia e-Soul 39 kWh at home?

Charging the 39.2 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 3.2 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 4.8 hours (typically overnight).

How fast is DC fast charging (10% to 80%)?

The Kia e-Soul 39 kWh supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 44 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 52 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.

How much does it cost to charge the Kia e-Soul 39 kWh?

At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €9.41. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €25.48.
