I don’t have the Kona, just a year old Pug e2008, so I don’t get the 4.7m/kWh efficiency, merely 4.2m/kWh so my costs are higher by a few pence per thousand miles I guess. But, it’s an EV & it’s also awesome.
The Kona, Soul & ID3 are the best EVs on the scheme at the moment for range, the Kona at £499 is currently the bargain.
Getting used to any EV will take you all of a week maybe, it’s the charging & range anxiety, but, in the year since I ordered my EV the public charging situation has improved & we now even have reliable chargers at some motorway service stations & that’s soon to be almost all motorway service stations, thankyou Gridserve for taking over the Electric Highway & rolling out the replacement chargers. Two days ago I even found a Swarco machine that worked, just off the A303 at Ilchester. However, expect a shortage of rapid chargers on Bank Holidays & Summer Holiday weekends for a while yet.
Zap-Map’s app just became Apple CarPlay compatible, for a fee, & I’m testing it this week in the car. Zap-Map is how you find the working chargers for your journey, and, now possibly plan the route etc.
