6 months and over 15k miles in the 64kW Kona and can’t really fault it, I do wish that it remembered some settings like auto hold etc, but that’s just part of the start up process now.
It’s definitely the most economical EV out there, I’m averaging 5 miles/kw without trying too hard, you do have to re learn how to drive, or actually how to drive an EV, but it doesn’t take long.
No range anxiety either, I’ll happily set off on a 400 mile drive with the battery at 65%and just charge when I need a break after a couple of hours, the Kona loves fast charging between 20 and 70%, get to 70% and off you go with well over 200 more miles range.
I’ve driven most things in my life, from HGV’s to tanks and just about everything in between, and have to say it’s one of the most enjoyable vehicles I’ve driven, the grip is really good, the ride is smooth and the seats are both comfortable and supportive as well as hugely adjustable. Â Performance is closer to 6 secs o-60, and you actually feel yourself pushed back in the seat, you can also drive it like you stole it, the paddles for regen almost work like dropping the gears down the box in a corner, and up to 80, the acceleration is impressive.
Really hope you like your test drive, I’m sure if you can live with the size, you’ll love the car.
