Is the Hyundai Kona Electric one of the best electric cars on the market?

Question

Lately, the Kona Electric has been getting lots of attention for being one of the more affordable long range EVs on the market. However, with its small size and fairly minimal feature set compared to some flashier EVs, some people question how well it stands up to the test in real life. Some of the things that range like how quickly I charge, how my range is, have been reported by owners to be hit and miss. Other debates focus on whether it is as practical as populus EVs such as the Tesla Model 3 or Chevy Bolt to drive and what they can offer that other EVs can’t. If you’re thinking of moving to electric, is the Kona EV really a good option, or is there a better one out there?

Absolutely worth it! It's been fantastic and I've had mine for over a year. Peppy acceleration, great range, and a whole lot cheaper to run than my old gas car. It’s compact enough for city driving and parking.

It’s decent, but I think it’s overhyped. While the range isn’t as advertised in cold weather, the charging speeds are pretty slow compared to newer EVs. Now you can get better options for the price.

Anika · Answer

It really depends on your needs, I think. It’s great if you want a practical commuter EV and don’t need blazing fast charging. It’s a good choice if you don’t mind a runt, but if you do a lot of road trips or want the latest tech, there are probably better choices out there now.

As a Kona EV owner, I’d say it’s a solid choice but not mind blowing. Though there's a pretty fair amount of intrigue here, it's not without its negatives – the interior is kind of low rent and the infotainment system is ancient. But for the price you’d be hard pressed to beat the range.

Pranshu · Answer

I drove one and was not very impressed. It felt like a basic economy car with a battery slapped in, and there's no frunk, and the rear seats are tiny. But I’d rather spend a bit more for something like a Model 3 or Ioniq 5 that just feels more ‘natively electric’ to me.
