Kia Soul EV To Go On Sale In Five More States By This June

When the Kia Soul EV electric car debuted just over a year ago, Kia planned a fairly cautious roll out.

The electric tall wagon would launch in California, and sales would expand to other states at an undetermined future point.

Then reality struck. It turned out that buyers really liked the idea of an all-electric tall wagon with 93 miles of range.

California sales were so robust that the Korean carmaker accelerated its rollout plans.

(The carmakers still refuses to say how many Soul EVs it sells each month, however--unlike every other established maker except Fiat.)

Kia executives said just a few weeks ago that the Soul EV would be available in other states before the end of 2015.

Now, we know exactly which states will be next to get the Soul EV, and when.

Kia will expand sales to Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii, with the Peach State getting the Soul EV first.

Georgia sales will start within the next couple of months, Kia says.
