I know a few of us are eagerly awaiting delivery of these so thought I’d make a thread so we can all keep track of updates etc
Ordered ultimate Misty jungle (with light leather) on 9th November. Delivery slated for end of March. Dealer has had no update yet.

Various options for Kona wind deflectors
Thank you Nigel will have a look
Hi @Graham Caton,
there’s a post earlier in this thread (26th August 2022) from @joss which gives a link and YouTube fitting video for ‘Team Hero’ wind deflector kits. I’ll be looking to fit the when my car finally arrives!

Current car Hyundai Kona Ultimate EVIt’s the “Heko” wind deflectors you want to go for, there are a few sellers offering them inc Mick’s garage on both ebay and amazon.
If you google the company it’s based in Poland and very good to use to find the model number for your own vehicle, it then makes it easier to search for your specific version and find a deal.
I fitted wind deflectors last August – couldn’t get the deflectors Joss suggested so bought these
They are more fiddly to fit – need to be lined up carefully before peeling off paper and sticking – but they have been great – no issues at speed – no sign of them coming adrift – just ensure it is a dry and reasonably warm day when applying.Hope this helps if any of you have difficulty sourcing the other style – I will post a picture of them fitted to my car – I have done this previously – way back in August.

Previous car:Peugeot 308 GT Premium 1.2 Pure tech Petrol.Anybody know the name of the ship docking at Tilbury on 03/05/23 as apparently my car is on it, by the time I get it, will have been 13 month wait. Waiting with baited breath.
I remember the feeling well Graham – but it’s the start of the end – I’m sure the tingles anticipation and excitement have started ??
Hi @Graham Caton, the Morning Lena is due to dock in Tilbury on 29th April. I can’t see anything for May so it may just have gained a few days?

Current car Hyundai Kona Ultimate EVI think the Morning Lena could be vehicle carrier docking at Tilbury 5/5/23, not 100% but could be the one to watch. Hopefully someone can confirm.
Ohme home pro. Looks complicated…. Time will tell
Ordered a Kona Ulitmate 64kw on 31st March. Dealer says they cannot be ordered anymore, only available is what is already on order by the dealer. I wanted black with the light interior, but have taken white with black interior. Really happy to get a car with a great range and the right height for me to get into.
Dealer says it is on a ship currently and to expect deliver late May or early June.
How do I look up the ships coming from South Korea to UK, I see people mentioning different ships arriving.
Hi Terry – just noticed your post. – I have been using OHME since august – just plug it in and use the app on my phone – I have not used start at a time or finish at a time as OVO is the same price day and night – I usually wait until the miles left are around 200 then charge it – the app shows the miles put on – so when it gets to just over 100 ie 300 + in battery I stop.
It is particularly useful on frosty mornings – plug it in and defrost car – windscreen back and front and mirrors in about 10 mins – I haven’t used it on hot days as the sunroof works just fine – if you are parked in direct sunshine – I’m not – you may want to use a screen for front and steering wheel – I do this when I am parked on hot days away from home – hope this helps – enjoy the car ?Thank you Tillyman. I am getting the EV tariff from Power NI which is half price at night but Ohme haven’t teamed up with them. I don’t do big miles so if I get it wrong and charge at full price it’s no odds. Northern Ireland is behind the times.
Have worked out the ship coming from South Korea so need to ask my dealer what ship it’s on.
First brand new car, usually buy demonstration or ex branded lease. I am like at kid waiting for Santa at Christmas.
Hello Everyone.
hope you are all enjoying you new EV, those of you that have taken delivery.
I’ve been reading that EV home chargers are now been stolen by thieves across the UK. I have spoken to my home insurance company and they DO NOT cover home chargers, not even with an ‘add on’ I have also spoken to Motability and they DO NOT cover them with the RSA Insurance either.
I just thought I would mention this so you can all make sure you are covered by asking your Home Insurance Company to add it or change companies when the time is due.
Let me know if you have any Home Insurance Company that does. As ours is due soon.
Thank you ?Hi Ian – thanks for the info on insurance cover for charging box.
I have just come off the phone from Tesco insurance and they have assured me that it comes under building and that I am covered for theft or damage.
However I think it is worth people checking on their individual policies – I think it is surprising that Motability don’t cover it – I wonder if it is something they haven’t thought of and that it will eventually be added to the vehicle insurance.
I hope this is of use to some of you ?
Ours is covered with Lloyds Home premium buildings cover as it is hard wired for theft or vandalism etc. It is also covered under the accidental damage cover if I was to reverse into it!!
Yes I thought it would be covered with my Buildings insurance, but it’s not with my current insurer. Which is why I phoned Motability, they also said they don’t cover it either.
So I will be looking to move insurance companies for my home cover very soon.
Thank you for the information ??Hi there could anyone recommend roof bars to fit kona ev probably after market ones if possible.
Spoke to Hyundai on Monday and was informed that due date is now September. Better than November as previously advised.
Phone call from dealer on Tuesday late afternoon offering me a cancellation! Colour being the only difference from my original order. Now galactic grey.
Now due to collect next week.
????
Had an update from the dealer yesterday instead of picking up the car this month as I was told a few weeks ago its now been moved to June…again!!!
Due to take delivery tomorrow, just wondering if the kona has dimming side mirrors? Like that blue film stuff? Wanna check whether I need to buy some or not 🙂
Good morning to everyone, our Hyundai Ultimate metalic grey EV collection on Wednesday 26th of April, after 13 months wait at last. could anyone please tell me which essential accessories needs to buy and from where i should buy. Thanks
