INSIST ON FRED'S SINCE 1958 Think Fred's for Your Freight Freight up to 20,000 lbs Dock level or ground Enclosed Trailer The IFP* H alton H ills* W H EELS April 24, 2014 From page 1 floor for minimal cabin intrusion. For ex- ample, three can fit in the back seat and lose only 3.1 inches of legroom compared to the "standard" Soul. More to the point, the cargo area be- hind the second row seats is 532 litres, the same as the "standard" Soul. The motor powers the front wheels through a single speed reduction gear set. It results in a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 11.4 seconds reaching a top speed of 145 km/h (90 mph) with a driving range of around 160-170 km with 200 km attained by Kia engineers in testing. Engineers were able to package the motor and systems while minimizing in- trusion of the battery pack into the cabin, yet retaining a class-leading 200 Wh/kg battery cell energy density enabling the battery to store greater amounts of elec- tric energy relative to its weight. Kia chose lithium-ion polymer bat- teries (compared to more commonplace lithium-ion batteries) because of their greater energy density with fewer parts and a simpler cell structure, lower cost production, greater potential for heat management and greater flexibility in terms of packaging. To insure crash safety, the battery fea- tures a ceramic-coated separator within the cell itself to protect the unit, as well as overcharge protection, which moni- tors electrical current and battery tem- perature. Soul EV owners can choose be- tween two different driving modes, 'Drive' and 'Brake', with the latter producing the most energy recuperation from the regen- erative braking system. Each of these driving settings are also available in a third special Eco-mode which extends the Soul EV's driving range by optimizing the performance and ener- gy consumption of the HVAC system and the electric motor. On a half-hour loop near the offices of Kia Canada, I started out with a range showing as 170 km. Using Brake and with the Eco-mode also on, all I had to do was lift my foot off the accelerator pedal and the EV would slow dramatically as energy was har- vested. But when rolling, the EV was "car like" but with noticeably quicker accelera- tion due to the torque being immediately available. After 20 minutes of taking advantage of Brake, I was showing a range of 188 km, which was surprising. Switching to Drive for the highway, the EV accelerated smartly down the on- ramp and joining in the flow of traffic was white-knuckle free. Coming up to highway speed, the EV again felt "car like" except for the lack of engine noise. When I got to back to Kia, I had a range of 177 km - 7 km more than when I left. Because the Soul EV is next to silent in operation, there is a warning beeper that sounds when it is in reverse and travelling at less then 20 km/h. One of challenges to any EV is operating in the winter in Canada. To this end, the Soul EV has a battery heating system designed to insulate and warm up the battery in order to minimize the adverse effects of sub-zero tempera- tures on battery charge. The Soul EV has two charging ports (120 and 240 volt) that are housed behind a panel at the nose and opened by a lever on the lower instrument panel. Charging times vary but 4.5 hours is the norm for a 240-volt, but it can take up to 24 hours to fully charge a depleted bat- tery using a 120-volt outlet. Prices won't be announced until it goes on sale in late fall. Kia a nice little package
