# Kia Soul EV Drive Electric Week Tour - Link: https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/09/kia-soul-ev-drive-electric-week-tour/ - Published: 2016-09-14T18:07:10-04:00 - Author: greenlivingguy Kia Soul EV is game on.  For Kia has been heavily invested into showing the public how amazing the Soul EV is for the National Drive Electric Week ([NDEW](https://driveelectricweek.org/)). Fully electric vehicles can also lead to a drastic change of habits and spending. Especially and certainly in comparison to gas guzzling vehicles. As I am constantly educating consumers to know and understand what it’s like to live fully electric. Because it’s more than an amazing car. It really is a zero emissions and a cost saver! ## Kia Soul EV [⌊test drive kia soul EV⌉⌊test drive kia soul EV⌉[ I test drove this Kia Soul EV Consequently, it can be recharged by plugging the car into a standard household outlet.

Then the driver can simply switch off air to most of the cabin. Even on the dashboard. As well as, foot ventilation to other passengers. It’s all as a result to further save on energy. #### Please understand. This car is also a No range anxiety car! On average the [Soul EV](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/05/kia-soul-ev-electric-crossover-named-world-urban-car/) will take you about 90 miles on one charge! #DYK 95% of US drivers’ commute is under 40 miles and the average commute is only 13.6 miles?  It also qualifies for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 depending on the state you live in! ![KIA SOUL EV SET FOR 2014](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/04/image13.jpg?resize=356%2C157&quality=52&ssl=1) ####   ####   ####   ####   #### Kia Soul EV National Drive Electric Event As most of you that know and those that don’t, National Drive Electric [Week](https://greenlivingguy.com/2005/11/the-case-for-electric-vehicles-now/) is an event to heighten awareness of all-electric vehicles.
