Hyundai Kona Electric - Great EV, Great car, but...

The Hyundai Kona Electric was instrumental for the breakthrough of EV's, it was the first affordable EV with a good range at a decent price. The new Kona Electric has some large shoes to fill. And again, it is a great EV. But in the testperiod I experienced some major hiccups that would make me reconsider the EV as the alternative for internal combustion engine cars. In all honestly, the Kona is not to blame, but the charging network however...

Please note: I said that the new Kona Electric comes as standard with a heat pump. That is incorrect, only the top trim level has a standard heat pump, it is optional on the mid-range trim level (for around € 2.000) and not available on the lowest trim level. But all versions have a battery heater.

You’re getting really good at these reviews my friend 😊. I do prefer the look compared to the previous generation Kona, Hyundai are definitely on a roll!

It sure is a stylish car Mike, I like the styling hints to the Ioniq models, that pixel-theme is a real nice touch. Thanks for watching!
