For your 2016 Kia Soul EV, I have a hitch that is a confirmed fit. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4", # C11419. This hitch is a bolt on installation and includes the hardware as well as the pin and clip for your ball mount.
For you ball mount, I recommend the Curt Class II Drawbar - 2-5/8" Rise, 3-1/4" Drop - 7-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs # C45521. This can be used with a 1-7/8 inch ball like # 19256 or a 2 inch hitch ball like # 19258.
For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56222. This will give you a 4-way flat connector with simple plug connections behind your vehicle tail lights. There is no cutting of splicing with this wiring harness.
These parts will give you all you need to tow your Quicksilver 6.0 tent camper with your 2016 Kia Soul EV. I've attached some videos to help.
