Kia unveiled the 2019 Niro EV and the 2020 Soul, which is coming in a gasoline and electric version, at the LA Auto Show.
Kia has developed a fast-charging wireless power transfer system that looks to eliminate the need of plugs for electric vehicle charging.
Kia Motors America (KMA) will provide six Soul EVs to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to help develop and demonstrate vehicle-to-grid advanced smart-charging software algorithms.
Kia Motors will begin selling its Soul EV battery-electric subcompact car in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland after the automaker initially rolled it out in California.
Kia is expanding the availability of the Soul EV by June to five more states including Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. The automaker previously sold the Soul EV exclusively in California.
The recall, set to get under way March 24, affects 208,858 cars in the 2014 and 2015 model years.
Kia Motors announced the pricing for its battery-electric 2015 Kia Soul. The Soul EV MSRP will start at $33,700 for the Base and $35,700 for the Plus (not including federal tax rebate of $7,500).
Kia Motors is currently developing an all-electric version of the Kia Soul, scheduled to go on sale in 2014.
