- It's not the fastest, coolest or cheapest electric car out there, but the Hyundai Kona EV remains a popular choice for kiwi families and businesses. To find out why, Gav took put the car through a series of tests, including a long-distance road trip.

This was the greatest Kona Electric review I've seen - and certainly the most entertaining! p.s. the lack of coolness is the point, as you pointed out at the end! Bjorn Nyland put it at the top of his 1000 km challenge table too!
I have mine for over half year now, and still in complete love with the Kona. If you want cool look check other colours as well, my Dark Knight is an absolute winner for me. :)
Great review, thank you for taking the time in pulling this together!
Best video on Kona .
As I have been waiting over a month for my Kona to arrive , I have been watching and learning lot’s about electric vehicles.
Your comment are witty, smart and informative.
Just a perfect amount of talking!!
Great job.
I am from Korea, the safe one not the crazy one !
when the video started I was thinking, "What ever happened to that guy who did the conversion all those years ago?" I remember you on the first drive saying, "Sounds like a big electric drill" or something. I never did convert a car, but I did just buy a Kona Electric. Great catching up with you again! While you might not look cool in a Kona, you do not have to look uncool... It's a great car
Ha....it is a cool car! 😆 My wife and I absolutely love our 2023 Kona Ultimate in Black! It is a superb vehicle...very comfy, fun to drive, very economical and puts a smile on my face everytime we drive it!
Had it since August 24 2022 and we are now just about into 9000km...leaving on a 4500km road trip in November.
We are planning a round North America trip for fall of 2023 to celebrate my wife's retirement. I figure we will accumulate about 12,000km on that trip!
So this car is going to be a high miler pretty quickly!
Thanks for your review and greetings from Canada!

No no no no no! How dare you! How very dare you! You cannot say that I don’t look cool on this car. I look SERIOUSLY cool in this car. A random bloke recently commented that I look like Billy Idol… who is very cool.
I am cool asf! This car is cool and I look cool on it.
I have had my Hyundai Kona for about 2 months and I am completely in love. It’s my second Hyundai and my first EV. I will never go back to fossil fuels.
I agree with almost everything you’ve had to say except I look very cool driving it.
I put some Rob Ruha or Dane Rumble on and I’m as cool as it gets.
Tesla doesn’t have the same regen braking benefits… or the same “I’m a normal car” factor that Kona has.
Buy one. You will love it and you will be as cool as Billy Idol too. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
im on my second Kona . im really pleased with it .
1:50 interesting point you bring! here in Portugal, this car is called "Kauai". Kona means something else in Portugal :))) nice review!
10:26 Well, I am from Portugal but living in Taiwan for some years now. I can tell you the meaning of (c)Kona in Portugal. It is the most depreciative manner to say vagina, which is spelled, but not said, the same way in Portuguese. That said, well, it is still Hawaiian. ;)
Without question this is my next vehicle purchase. Too many people have been so quick to overlook it for minor reasons and always want to compare it to a Tesla, which in many cases, it’s actually better than.
Really good review mate , to the point and no fancy stuff. I drive a hybrid kona but the EV seems to be a better option with 400+ km range. Any plans to review the kia niro ev ?
Yes, in fact here in Portugal the car cannot have the name Kona (you already know why). Here the name is Hyundai Kauai, which is the name of another island in Hawaii
Haha this is the most wholesome review I’ve ever seen
It is a very good all around car indeed. But I would be a more strict judge on the suspension. At least in my 2020 version it is ...wobbly. Also the road noise is a bit loud in the cabin. But this depends heavily on the condition of the road and the tires.
They improved the road noise in the 2022 model.
i think people do look 😎 in the kona ev.
That did make me sad watching a middle aged man eating and dropping icecream inside a car, but i'd do it again if it helps me decide if i want kona or an MG or BYD Atto 3.
This video is not utter rubbish
The reason everyone liked it is because only the people which can afford it are old!!!
Love electric, but prices need to drop! Even base Tesla is cheaper
