News out is that Seoul based South Korean automaker Kia has decided to decrease the price of its Soul EV by $2000, and the company also confirmed that they will be manufacturing an additional new base version named Ev-e. However, the company has restricted Ev-e’s market and said would only be available in California. Consumers need not to worry since the electrical Soul will continue in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii with two models, the Soul EV and the EV plus. The top-of-the-line EV Plus comes to about $36,775 in which it features leather, front and rear parking sensors, fog lights, power-folding mirrors, “aero” wipers, an auto-dimming inside mirror, luggage net, a cargo-area power outlet, heated rear seats (all models have heated front seats and steering wheel), cooled front seats, and additional interior trim.
