I wonder if this will come true. It was already delayed for the US until 2020 but delayed again until 2021.

I wonder if this has something to do with the LG/SK lawsuit, if not battery shortages for other reasons.

Sadness... My husband loved his Soul (it was totalled in an accident). I was hoping that if we purchased a second one that we could buy the EV version.

You could investigate buying a good used late model Soul EV, and getting a new battery for it if needed.
