Kia Motor Corp has just announced that it will be increasing its hybrid and electric car offerings to nearly 20 models by the year 2020. Kia has been looking for new, innovative ways to further their place in the green car market and this announcement shows the automaker's continuing commitment to creating some of the best fuel efficient cars available today.

The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show is a concept car paradise, with automakers showing off their most innovative equipment and best tech devices they hope will become the new standard for the next generation of automobiles. This year, Kia debuted their newest concept car at SEMA, the absolutely adorable Kia Soul EV Smitten, to a resounding "awww."

The Kia Soul lineup is going electric! The Korean brand that has become known for their quirky, fun Soul series recently debuted their new all-electric 2015 Soul EV model exclusively at the Chicago Auto Show. A first for the company, the electric vehicle produces zero emissions and falls in line with Kia's "Clean Mobility" program, which promotes eco-friendly transportation.

Kia is taking how the world views eco-friendly electric vehicles and broadening the spectrum through the use of bio-based organic carbon content. The automaker was recently granted validation by UL Environment, a unit a part of the safety science company Underwriters Laboratories, for its use of the “green” materials in the all-new Kia Soul EV – a first in the automotive industry.
