Electric Kia Soul to Europe and America

Korean company Kia is going to fill up a model range of another modification. At this time we are talking about the electric version of the popular Soul. This is the classic electric car is planned that the Soul will be the first global model, the company equipped with an electric motor. Emphasis on the North American market where these machines are traditionally very popular. Besides the U.S., this car will be available to Europeans. While the supply of the Korean electric car in Russia is not officially reported, but in principle, such a scenario cannot be ruled out. Although in our country the high-tech cars, this class are low demand. On the other hand, there are various studies that show something like the following. Many people in our region want to buy a compact crossover, which will consume little fuel. If we talk about the electric version of the Soul, then this is the car. He almost does not pollute the environment, emissions of harmful substances are completely absent, and fully charging the battery takes only five hours. The machine is equipped with several clever systems that allow you to conserve the battery. First and foremost is the energy recovery system.





That is, the battery charging occurs while braking or if the car is rolling down the slope. In addition, the Koreans modified the climate system, which helps to reduce the percentage of idle. The unit operates on a relatively simple principle, the electronics detects the presence of the person and heats the air exclusively in this area. Theoretically, this solution allows to save an extra few percent of the desired energy. The company said that this machine is ideal for those who will use the car in a big city. The machine is equipped with a small electric motor, which is capable of producing 110 horsepower. In principle, this should be enough power for movements in the metropolis. It is important to say that the battery in this case is located under the floor. That is, the battery due to this arrangement increases the rigidity of the body.
Despite the fact that this is a global model, initially planning to release no more than 5,000 cars a year. Production has already started on one of the Korean factories of the company. Kia today seek to occupy a new niche for themselves, the Korean company is actively developing segment of electric vehicles and hybrids. In the domestic Korean market already are some similar machines, but the new modification will really become the first global model of this class.
