Kia Motors has gifted one unit of the Kia Soul electric vehicle (EV) to the government of Andhra Pradesh to express its support for the administration’s pro-EV stand. The car comes to India just a month after its global reveal at the 2018 Los Angeles Motor Show, which certainly is heartening. However, Kia has made it clear that the Soul EV is not among its immediate launch plans for India. Till the time Kia deems the charging infrastructure in India strong enough, the brand will most likely consider a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) like the Kia Niro, at least, as an interim solution.
