I just watched a 30 minute video about an electric Kia Soul and was entertained the entire way. You deserve some kind of award. Kia owes you.

I learned a lot about electric vehicles watching this video.

Do you do the production by yourself? Because this channel puts to shame some big magazines and all of the generic ones like Consumer Reports in that regard. I know all English car review channels on KZread and a few in German and Dutch, but only this one, Jalopnik and Regular Car Reviews give insight from a car lover's point of view, not just stats and/or grotesque visual porn like drifting and racing (which is good, but not unique). Thanks!

Man, 2nd gen Kia Soul EV is sporting 240 mile range. Crazy how big a difference that was in the span of 5 years, the range almost tripled.

These videos are SOOOO well produced. I would really like to see your channel grow.

The best car review I have ever viewed on youtube.

I love these long-form reviews, keep them coming!

Chock full of lore. The episode Jack got imported

Back in high school (mid 90s) we gutted a Volkswagen Scirocco and put in 50hp DC motor, PWM motor controller, and nine deep cycle 12v lead acid batteries. It was for a race sponsored by Virginia Power, so we also removed all the upholstery, added a roll cage, racing seat and harness, etc. The thing I noticed most while driving it was how quiet the car was. You heard every little pebble you drove over. It really made you feel connected to the pavement. I'm excited to see EVs coming into the market place. I hope this trend continues.

savagegeese Do you know how they did the brakes? We added a vacuum pump since there wasn't any engine vacuum for the brake booster. It made a god awful noise until it had evacuated the canister that served as our supply of suck (about 30 seconds). Got four or five good stops before the pump would turn back on, IIRC.

Great review!

Nice film. In the UK we can have a 7kW charge at home so I can recharge in 5 hours from flat, or 11 hours on a standard domestic plug (240v x 13A, about 3kW). Plus we have plenty of public charge points, not that I really need them. Range is no problem, we've done 900 miles in less than a month, loving the Soul!

the intro was awesome.

And it has more torque than the S2000, so there's that

I love the humor in this!

love this review! thanks

Nice to see your only a couple hours away! Also a fellow Illinoisan... LOL. Keep the great, humorous reviews coming!

I leased one and loved it. The quirky styling and bright color really stood out. It was fun to putt around town and we got a good deal. The options we got weren't expected from a kia (cooled seats and rear heated seats etc) and we were overall very happy with the experience.

The most entertaining walk around I've seen! LOL!

More EV and plug in hybrid reviews, please. This one was great!

Good review.

Like your reviews

killin my kilowatts! HAhaha only 1 minute in and i lost it. love these reviews man

These reviews are great. I loved the encounter with the fast charger. That's a real life review.

Good review

Midwest politeness in full display at 24:50 when he apologizes for not being able to use their charger.

I love the Kia soul

best channel 2015. if you were Marty Mcfly i would believe it!

Scott asks who leases it. City folk. EV’s save serious cash not only daily but maintenance long term. It is a Soul sucker though. No noise. Great review

Loved this review, especially the guy in the outtake who looks just like me except for my mad-professor mop of white hair! It does look like a shoe, especially in two-tone. I'm looking at the all white colour, once 'her indoors' gives the ok. I'd like a Tesla but can't afford one, full stop.

Beautiful algonquin

From 22:00 on...Honey, I'm gonna go pick up a few things from the store real quick. Be back in 5 hours!

Still relevant as a commuter car. We are looking for a 150-250km range affordable EV for commuting and use our hybrid for road trips etc.

Would buy as second car..for taxi my kids to baseball and all. Thanks for good info

Great video. I was thinking the same thing regarding some jerk pulling the charger from the car. It will likely be a more common complaint when electric cars become more common.

I have a Soul EV. Kia thought of that. They lock the charger cable into the plug when you lock the doors.

I really liked your summary at the end. I think the auto industry plan is to create a more steady revenue stream from leasing and turning over disposable cars. Not so great for the environment though.

Hey Savage I am currently “pun” leasing one for $145 am month(cheap) and it’s winter in the PNW. Put a set of Blizzaks on it. My average miles left on a full charge is down to 70 miles with temps in the 30-45 degree range. My 2014 leaf drove better and had better cargo. The KIA has more passenger room. I’m going back to Leaf or EV Golf. Maybe the Bolt. IDK yet

@savagegeese I love your reviews and can't seem to see why you don't have more subscribers! Might it have something to do with the fact that you primarily review brand new cars? Maybe try some older stuff!

Great review i learned a lot , 1) what is the name of that app and is it available for andriod ? 2) how much did that 240V charge in whole foods cost you , 3) this government rebate program , do they send u a cheque for the money or is it a tax break on your income taxes

Chargepoint is the app. Depends on the local energy costs for price but to charge from empty. The battery holds 27Kw and at one charger it was .15 cents per Kw so wound up being about $6 a charge. You get the tax credit when you file taxes at end of year during tax time.

@17:31 this car makes my colon hurt. Marisol Patel: no, it’s because you hang out with Scott all day. Hahahaha she killed it with that comeback !

Why not cover the hood and the roof with solar panel to help charge the radio or the avac or even the help charge te battery while the car is moving or parked outside? Just a thought.

The Nissan Leaf does have a small solar panel which charges the small battery that's dedicated to the accessories.

I have like the video, subscribed to your channel and bought a Kia Soul electric. Now that's something you can tell to Kia ;). Anyway I will sell it as soon as the Tesla model 3 comes out, luckily in 2017 or 2018. The key for a brand to sell these cars is a free charging network. If they cannot give to customers that, they will be out of the business.

+savagegeese Ok, got the car today, I live in Oslo, Norway. The car is perfect for me, I drive 10 miles (16 kilometers) to work. What else, is nice and have a "Premium feeling" (I guess for the lack of sound of a normal engine). I was surprised how I did not realize I was doing 60 miles per hour (100 Km/H), just because is so silent. Finally I'm happy that I will no longer burn 60 liter of gas a month (15,8 US gallons).

Mari-SOUL Patel?

Love the giggling. Most folks have little concept of how far 100 miles is and even fewer have a concept of how many miles they drive in an average day. These cars were super cheap used in early 2017 ($6k-$8k), but now in 2018 with those prices on the rise it seems folks are coming to terms with their daily use needs coupled with understanding the super cheap operating costs (around $20 to drive 1000 miles).

actually not bad. 90miles full charge. got a mini tesla basically. people just like tesla for prestige

All new battery trailer.

Sucks that the rapid charger couldn't be made to work. You would've been out faster.

It's a shame that the fast charger didn't work, it would have charged the car within 20 minutes. It really does.

Btw this is such a minor thing as you guys do amazing reviews especially the Genesis review. Just see so much potential there that seems to be filtered.
