Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
Charging Point Max. Power Power Time Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW) 230V / 1x10A 2.3 kW 20h15m 7 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) 230V / 1x16A 3.7 kW 12h30m 11 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) 230V / 1x31A 7.2 kW † 6h30m 22 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW) 230V / 1x16A 3.7 kW † 12h30m 11 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW) 230V / 1x31A 7.2 kW † 6h30m 22 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Rapid Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
  • Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)
Charging Point Max. Power Avg. Power Time Rate
CCS (50 kW DC) 44 kW † 37 kW † 47 min 120 mph
CCS (100 kW DC) 44 kW † 37 kW † 47 min 120 mph
CCS (150 kW DC) 44 kW † 37 kW † 47 min 120 mph
This vehicle supports Autocharge
This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle

Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.

Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.

Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

Long Distance Suitability

How suitable an electric car is for long trips depends not only on the range. How quickly the car can charge plays an almost equally important role. Whether an EV is suitable for long trips depends on the battery capacity, efficiency, and fast charging capability.

To easily compare cars among each other, a benchmark has been established that combines these factors into the total distance a vehicle can cover with one 15-minute charging stop: the '1-Stop Range'. Based on the 1-Stop Range, the 5-star rating is determined. The result of the benchmark is shown in the graph below.

All about the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh

No longer available

This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh was available from September 2022 until May 2024. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh.

Pricing

The Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £32,095 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £32,875. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.

Drivetrain and Performance

The Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh is 100 kW (134 hp). The maximum torque is 291 lb-ft. The Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 9.9 seconds. The top speed is 98 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh has an estimated total capacity of 42 kWh. The usable capacity is 39.2 kWh. A range of about 140 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 100 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 215 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 7.2 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 6 hours 30 minutes. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 20 hours 15 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 44 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 37 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 50 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 95 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh is about 280 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 145 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 392 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 182 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The Kia Soul EV 39.2 kWh emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
