$5000 Federal incentive applies to all provinces and there is a Plug and Drive $1000 incentive for used EV purchases ( last time I looked).

If I were you, I would rather choose the eNiro due to the larger trunk. The previous generation Soul can hardly fit an ordinary folded stroller (after removing the seat / gondola and folding it), some models even require removing the wheels. Don't even think about a double stroller. The eNiro has the largest trunk of the three, and headroom should be fine as well (especially without the sunroof). When it comes to range, even in winter your distance is not a problem, especially if you have an L2 charger at home. Recently, I had the opportunity to commute Kona to work once or twice 70 km one way - even at a speed of 100-120 kph in winter, there was no shortage of range. The convenience should be increased by making space under the hood on the frunk - you will find numerous examples on the web, just enter "Kona frunk" in Google. What I love in Kona? Acceleration right from the bottom and and very confident road behavior (winter tyres Bridgestone Blizzard -- a wonderful piece of gum.

For Canadian business owners the generous federal capital cost allowance for EVs can be even better incentive. I got $14.3K of my income taxes back buying the Kona. Keep in mind you have to forgo the personal 5K federal incentive and there are several other factors such amount of business usage and your nominal tax rate that will affect any gains.
 
For those in USA, this new price incentive may be enough to make that more a reality for prospective EV owners
"Ending April 30, Hyundai is offering $7,500 off the purchase price of a 2024 Kona Electric. This offer is valid on all trims and provides a notable discount as the credit makes up a hefty percentage of the vehicle's price. The Kona Electric SE now runs $26,550, just $1,065 more than a Nissan Leaf with the IRA tax credit."
