Wow, that did move on quickly, really pleased for you especially about the medical side of things, that must be a huge relief for your family too.
I hope you get the paperwork sorted, never know, it might arrive early… OK, maybe not. Will be interesting to see how the test drive goes, nice to see a dealer being really helpful after the recent posts about negative experiences. What colours are you thinking of, the Ultimate now has the option of a light grey leather as well as the standard Black.
Gothitjulie makes some great points re pricing of electricity and that’s where the planning comes in. The EV Database (https://ev-database.uk/car/1423/Hyundai-Kona-Electric-64-kWh) is a great source for charging speeds. The Kona will refuel at the following speeds approx (How many miles range you will get in an hours charge): This is how I look at charging options.
Granny Charger (AC) – 7mph
Emergency or no other option
7.4kW Home charger (AC) – 24mph
Everyday
22kW (AC) – 35mph (The Kona can only use 11kW of this)
Many are free at supermarkets and shopping centres but quite often 7kW or less
CCS 50kW (DC) – 160mph
BP Pulse with subscription 15p kW is great price
CCS 150kW or more (DC) – 230mph (The Kona can only use 77kW of this)
More expensive, only use when you need the range quickly
The GoM on the Kona is really accurate, so you can safely just charge the car to cover the range you need, ie, only pay for the higher rates of electricity when you need it, on a long journey, paying to go on an Ultrafast (150kW) is more expensive, but much quicker, and you will soon get a good idea of your consumption. Aim to get home with 20% fuel left and just recharge overnight.
Initially, I would say that 65/70mph on Motorways should give you 3.5-4 miles per kW, 50mph on A roads will be 4-4.5 miles per kW and around town 5kW, but this does, as do charging speeds, vary with the weather. It all sounds really complicated, but it soon makes sense once you start driving.
Good luck and have fun
