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 Soul EV Range & Charging FAQ

What is the real-world highway and winter range of the Kia Soul EV?

The official combined WLTP range for the Kia Soul EV is 170 km (106 miles).

In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 122 km (76 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.

How long does it take to charge the Kia Soul EV at home?

Charging the 30 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 2.5 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 3.6 hours (typically overnight).

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

The Kia Soul EV supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 50 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 35 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.

How much does it cost to charge the Kia Soul EV?

At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €7.20. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €19.50.
