| Kia Soul EV: Is this the car that will kick electric car sales? |
Waiting for the Soul Edition
.
Ten electric car registrations were made in South Korea last month, numbers behind expectations, consumers are probably waiting for the launch of the Kia Soul EV, the first EV coming out of Korea with real ambitions...
Looking at the YTD ranking, Samsung continues to lead the race with 64 units (4 in April), followed by the Kia Ray EV (57 registrations, 3 of them in April) and in a distant third we have the Chevrolet Spark EV, with 18 units.
A final mention for the BMW i3, registering three units, will it put a fight to the Chevy Spark?
