2018 Kia Soul EV
More and more drivers are eager to get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle. This increased demand is prompting a variety of automakers to manufacture their own EVs that don’t scrimp on style, power, technology, or most importantly, driving range. That’s why it’s no surprise that the 2018 Kia Soul EV earned a spot on U.S. News & World Report’s “List of Electric Cars with the Longest Range in 2018.”
