In Sweden, Kia has been testing some new technologies before they start production of the Soul Electric Vehicle that is set to go on sale later this year.
Right now, Lapland, Sweden is -35 degrees celcius, so Kia will get a real test of how their heating system functions in cold weather.
One of the things Kia is working on is a way to heat just the driver's area of the passenger compartment, since most of the time vehicles are driven with only one occupant in them... no details were given on how that is going to be accomplished, but it sure sounds interesting to me!
