How has winter driving and range loss been on the Kona Electric?
Cold weather reduces the range of electric vehicles because of such things as battery efficiency and increased energy use for cabin heating. For those in colder climates who rely on their EV for daily commuting, or longer trips, this can be a major concern. On paper, the Kona Electric, with its advertised range over 400 km, should be promising. But how does it actually work when temperatures are below freezing? Winter range loss and overall cold weather performance have been reported by owners to vary. Also, how does the Kona’s heat pump system compare to other EVs? Is the Kona Electric an all year round practical vehicle for those living in areas with harsh winters?
I am in Canada and my Kona EV has been great in the winter. Yes you lose some range, but it is manageable. A heat pump helps a lot and I still get 300+ km even in freezing temps.
