Kulo nyaka i-KIA ikhethe ukungalethi izinhlobo ezintsha embukisweni wezimoto iGeneva Motor Show, igxile ebuchwephesheni ebenzayo. I-KIA Soul EV iyisiphindaphinda esivela kwamanye ama-salon, kodwa umkhiqizo okhulayo okhulayo.
Ifinyelela umvuthwandaba ngokwethulwa kwesizukulwane sesi-2 se-KIA Soul, inguqulo ye-EV, ifika e-Geneva ngezimpikiswano ezinamandla engxenyeni yezimoto zikagesi.
Njengayo yonke imikhiqizo yakwaKIA, iKIA Soul EV izophinde ibe newarranty yeminyaka engu-7 noma u-160 000kms.
Ngaphandle iKIA Soul EV ifana ngayo yonke indlela nabafowabo abakhona kwiSoul range, ngamanye amazwi, i-panoramic roof, amasondo angu-16 inch kanye nokukhanyisa kwe-LED, kuyizinto ezikhona. Kodwa umehluko omkhulu ulele ezingxenyeni zangaphambili nangemuva, ezithola ukushaqeka okuklanywe kabusha ngokuphelele nokuqondile.
Ngaphakathi, i-KIA ikhethe ukuhlinzeka i-KIA Soul EV ngamapulasitiki amasha, ngokusebenzisa isikhunta esinomjovo ophindwe kabili, nedeshibhodi ye-KIA Soul EV ibe yekhwalithi engcono futhi ithambe uma uyithinta. Izinsimbi zedijithali zisebenzisa izikrini ezinobuchwepheshe be-OLED.
Kulabo abahlale bezibuza ukuthi kuzokwenzekani uma bephelelwa amandla emoteni esebenza ngogesi, iKIA isiyixazulule le nkinga ngokwethula i-intelligent infotainment system. Ngaphezu kwesistimu ye-air conditioning ehlakaniphile, edla amandla amancane, ibuye ihleleke.
Kodwa kukhona okwengeziwe. Uhlelo lwe-infotainment oluhlakaniphile luqukethe umsebenzi othize wokulwa nokucindezeleka, okuvumela ukuthi uthintane ngesikhathi sangempela konke ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kwe-KIA Soul EV futhi, kanye nohlelo lokuzulazula, kungenzeka ukuthi ubonise iziteshi zokushaja eziseduze kanye ukuzimela kuhlanganiswe kuthrekhi ye-GPS.
Ngokwemishini, i-KIA Soul EV inamandla kagesi angu-81.4kW, okulingana namandla angu-110 amahhashi, ne-torque engu-285Nm. Injini kagesi inikwa amandla isethi yamabhethri e-lithium ion e-polymer, aqhathaniswa namabhethri e-lithium ion endabuko, anomthamo omkhulu, onamandla aphelele angu-27kWh.
Ugearbox onegiya elilodwa kuphela eliya phambili, uvumela iSoul EV ukuthi ifinyelele ku-100km/h ngemizuzwana engu-12, ifinyelele ku-145km/h ijubane elikhulu.
Ibanga elithenjiswe ngabakwa-KIA nge-KIA Soul EV ngu-200km. I-KIA Soul EV iphinde ibe ngumholi ekilasini layo, enebhethri pack enamaseli angu-200Wh/kg, okuhumusheka kumthamo omkhulu wokugcina amandla uma kuqhathaniswa nesisindo sayo.
Ukuxazulula inkinga yomthelela amazinga okushisa aphansi anawo ekusebenzeni kahle kwebhethri, i-KIA, ngokubambisana ne-SK Innovation, idizayine ifomula ekhethekile yesici se-electrolyte, ukuze amabhethri asebenze ebangeni elibanzi lokushisa.
Mayelana nokwandisa inani lemijikelezo yebhethri, okungukuthi ukushaja nokukhipha, i-KIA isebenzise ama-electrodes aqondile (isici se-cathode, ku-nickel-cobalt manganese) nama-electrode angemuhle (isici se-anode, ku-graphite carbon) kanye nenhlanganisela yalezi zakhi ezingamelana kakhulu, ivumela ukuchithwa kwebhethri okusebenza kahle kakhulu.
Ukuze i-KIA Soul EV ihlangabezane nezindinganiso zokuphepha ekuhlolweni kokuphahlazeka, iphekhi yebhethri ivikelwe nge-ceramic coating.
I-KIA Soul EV, njengawo wonke amamodeli kagesi kanye ne-hybrid, iphinde ibe nezinhlelo zokubuyisela amandla. Lapha, kuhlanganiswe ezindleleni zokushayela: Imodi yeDrayivu kanye nemodi yeBrake.
Imodi yebhuleki inconywa kuphela ekwehleni ngenxa yamandla amakhulu okubamba enjini kagesi. Kukhona nemodi ye-ECO, ehlanganisa ukusebenza kahle kwazo zonke izinhlelo ukuze zibe nomthelela omncane ekuzilawuleni.
Ishaja engu-6.6kW AC ivumela i-KIA Soul EV ukuthi ishaje ngokugcwele amabhethri emahoreni angu-5, kanti uma ishaja amaphesenti angu-80, imizuzu engu-25 nje yanele, eziteshini zokushaja ezithile ezinamandla angu-100kW.
Ekuphatheni okuguquguqukayo, i-KIA ibuyekeze ukuqina kwesakhiwo se-KIA Soul EV futhi yayinika ukumiswa okuqinile. I-KIA Soul EV iza namathayi aphansi aqinile, athuthukiswe ngokukhethekile nguKumho, anesilinganiso esingu-205/60R16.
Landela i-Geneva Motor Show nge-Ledger Automobile futhi uhlale unolwazi ngakho konke ukwethulwa nezindaba. Sishiyele ukuphawula kwakho lapha nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana!
