“Kia lists the official driving range as 149 kilometres. It seemed reasonable, although on a balmy summer’s day I managed to coax 162 kilometres out of the Soul EV, with 21 clicks of driving range remaining in the battery. The question that needed to be answered was simple: How much would a colder day detract from the driving range given the heater was in use? There was only one way to find out — drive my original test route again.”
