Fully Charged - Kia Someone Ev Exam Get [Video]
Robert Llewellyn takes a 560 km (350 mile) examination crusade inward the all novel Kia Soul EV.
Kia Motors is using a 360-V lithium-ion battery pack of “class-leading” loose energy density (200 W·h/kg) inward the 2015 Soul EV to hand it attain of well-nigh 200 km (125 mi) on the European Driving Cycle, together with “real-world” attain of 80-100 mi (129-161 km) inward the U.S. The cells together with the battery are the same inward all regions.
Kia says high-performance anode together with gel electrolyte additive materials were developed. The novel electrolyte additive allows for ameliorate attain past times to a greater extent than effectively dealing amongst depression together with high temperatures. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 “special” ceramic separator amongst improved thermal resistance properties is used.
The jail cellphone casings are of polymer pouch type (as opposed to metal), together with the battery pack is air-cooled. Standard equipment on the Soul EV includes receptacles for SAE J1772 Level 1 together with Level two ac charging, likewise every bit CHAdeMO dc fast charging (480 V).
The battery inward the 2015 Kia Soul EV is the final result of a three-year evolution programme amongst lithium-ion jail cellphone maker SK Innovation. The 192 cells are packaged into 8 modules together with deliver a amount battery capacity of 27 kW·h. The jail cellphone cathode is of nickel-rich NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) chemistry, amongst the raw materials for that together with other components optimized for loose energy density, durability, together with safety.
