Chargers being expensive are relative to what you’re used to paying… Compared to 5p kW, they are expensive, compared to Petrol/Diesel they are still cheap.
The Kona will only charge at a maximum of 77kW, it’s probably the only downside of the car, that said, it still only ends up being slightly slower than most of the comparable cars, and has the bonus of generally having a better range.
Motorways are getting much better now, and to be honest, are some of the cheapest destination chargers out there at 35p kW, in the end, for occasional use, even the most expensive chargers (Currently Ionity 69p kW) are still cheaper than conventional fuels. they just come as a shock, you soon forget about paying £80 to fill a tank with diesel!
