Probably the best review of the Kona Electric I've watched so far, (and by heck I've watched a few). I get my Kona Electric Premium 64kwh in Dark Knight this November on the Motability Scheme. This is my first EV, the fantastic range decided it for me. I'm really looking forward to this car, thanks for the brilliant review.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your comments and knowing we are doing things right!
How long was the wait may I ask ?
@@laxlax9960 I ordered it 10th August, it arrived at my dealer a week ago but I've had to wait till 5th November to collect as that's when my contract with Motability ends.
@@stevezephyr how are u finding the car after a few weeks? What was your previous car
@@Hankercheif absolutely brilliant, I've done 1800 miles so far, my longest journey was home to the NEC a trip over 200 miles on one charge. I'm not the most economical driver but I'm more than happy with the range, I'm getting roughly 240 miles using the heater/aircon. I can see her easily doing 290 on the Summer. My previous car was a Leon 2.0ltr petrol FR with the DSG gearbox, I used to spend £58 per week on petrol.
Excellent, informative review. Refreshing to have a reviewer who has clearly done his research. No cheap clichés or error-strewn waffle. Kudos!
Thanks John!
Good review, that was very informative and has helped me greatly!
Thanks, glad you found it useful!
You are really on a class's of your own. Such a quality review. It's like you own the car. I watched like 50 plus videos and they all look Soo commercially made. YOU make top REVIEWS.
What a kind thing to say! We really appreciate this comment. Means a lot!
Excellent review, just ordered the 64KWH Premium trim arriving in February, can’t come soon enough.
Excellent choice. Great car for the money!
Thank you great review just what I was looking for
You're welcome!
@@WhichEV I ordered the ultimate model today though lord knows when I will get it 😄
@@jimstirling7223 Enjoy! Great car!
Just ordered our Premium edition in cyber Grey today, can't wait!
You will love it!
Great video, thank you. We have just ordered ours, Kona Ultimate EV in Pulse Red. Cannot wait to get it. One concern, it s a new driving concept, but I’m sure we shall get used to it. Saving us £110 per month on fuel, because of the range and mile we do. 👍👍👍😊😊😊
You will love it. Faster than you'd think, super easy to drive, and really practical.
@@WhichEV Yeah, we test drove the Demo they had for a full day. Very impressed with it. We are just sorting home charger out. Down side 12 week wait for delivery. 👍
@@ianwebsell6097 why don't u choose a stock version as long u not picky about colour u could get one in days.
"Let's take these suckers out!" I always enjoy your idiosyncratic sense of humour and the running gag about what kids are reading. To what extent do electric vehicles encourage drivers to imagine they are playing video games?
Thanks! :) I don't think most electric cars make people imagine they are playing video games, except Teslas, where you literally can be! But only when stationary, obviously...
Have to say I really like the look of the new Kona, would be a tough choice between that and the ID3
The Premium 64K is a great balance of features for the money. Perfect if you have a couple of young kids.
We were really stuck between this and the Id3. But ended up going with this due to it being in stock along with the raided ride height, longer range and obviously better looking. The id3 cabin is a Mayor mayor let down.
@@laxlax9960 VW has gone for minimalism but this car just has a Hyundai interior, which is maybe more function than style but briliantly designed nonetheless.
@@WhichEV the standard Hyundai interior looked dull to be honest mate. I love how the Electric Kona adds the bridge centre in the interior so lot more premium looking. But yeah other than that it's business as usual style. None of this weird minimalist design that we apparently like. WE DO NOT!!!!!
@@laxlax9960 Check out the new IONIQ 5 though... (video to come in a week or so...)
Reviewer mentioned this model has 10.5kW on board AC charger which charges 0 -100% in 7.5 hours. If i use this with my podpoint 7kW home charger will charging 0-100 still take 9 hours 50mins as stated? As i read elsewhere using 11kW on board AC charger on home phase 1 connection (7kW ) on some car models can cause the charging rate to be halved to 3.6kW
We had no trouble charging at 7kW on a home charger.
@@WhichEV Thanks for reply.cGood to know.
@@talkandplay No worries.
4:50 This is the perfect car for me, my wife and our two dimensional child
You have one two? They're more common than people realise.
Is this Premium or Distinctive edition?
Ultimate.
😅 14p per kWh...those were the days....
Yes, true at the time! Not so much now, although you can still get 7.5p per kWh overnight deals.
A 2 dimensional child XD
Thank you for your support! :)
13:50 why you drive on 2nd line if the first one it's clear ? 🤔 all British people drive so bad 👎
Absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
@@WhichEV you have to Keep in the left lane unless overtaking , so use lane from the left if nobody there not middle one
@@emylo9099 The driver had been overtaking. Look at the next shot. He's in the left lane again. It's called editing. We didn't use the earlier section where he pulled out. 🙄
