I'll be interested to know what you learn... It depends on the EVSE. I use a Juicebox, which I built from a kit. It had the option to add an ammeter, and a small LCD display. So mine shows the total current from the wall, and the power being supplied to the vehicle.

I hadn't tried the remote climate control (I keep the car in the garage in SoCal, so it's always in a comfortable temp range). But when I got your PM this morning, I called up the UVO app on my iPhone, and turned on the A/C. It seemed to work just right: I saw one blue charge light on the...

I leased a gray model two weeks ago. At that time, the dealer mentioned that they expected the blacks to arrive in Dec. (But since I was interested in gray, I haven't followed up on the availability of black.)

First intelligence I have on the gray and black models is that they will arrive in 45 days.

I ended up test driving a white Plus at Irvine. Took it up to speed on the freeway, passed some traffic, then back through several traffic lights. I'm impressed. Seems like it will have plenty of pep in town, and didn't feel slow on the freeway. Extra weight gives it a solid feel. Overall...

Update: Kia USA gave me a courtesy call, in response to an email I sent earlier this week. The basic message was that dealers set prices. Two area dealers (one in SD, and one in OC) contacted me to say they received Soul EVs today. Sounds like they each have 4 or 5. You can get the Kia...

Seriously..What kind of person would read a text like that, and then run to do business with that dealership? The difference between the preliminary lease package announced by Kia USA and the reality at the dealership amounts to over $5500 (plus tax) over the 3 years! Sheesh...we're talking...

That person probably just didn't want to give you too much information over IM. And what they said is probably technically true. But in fact, on Monday they took delivery of the model that was at the OC Auto Show, and quickly leased it. Here is the text to me on Monday: " This is [redacted]...

Note that the quoted $375 was for the Base model... Clear bait-and-switch, and very disappointing.

I was just contacted by an OC dealer, saying they have their first Soul EV on the lot, and several more arriving within the next week...That's the good news. The bad news is they are charging $2000 over sticker, and have turned the $2000 down, $249/month lease into $3000 down and $375/month.
