Description
The Hyundai Kona Electric 64kWh Ultimate (AU, 5dr) is a standout in the electric vehicle (EV) market, offering a compelling mix of performance, technology, and practicality. Here are its best selling points:
1. Long Range Capability
Equipped with a 64kWh battery, the Kona Electric Ultimate boasts an impressive range of up to 300+ miles (WLTP cycle) on a single charge. This makes it ideal for long commutes or road trips without frequent charging stops.
2. Rapid Charging
The Kona supports DC fast charging, allowing the battery to recharge from 10% to 80% in around 47 minutes at a 100kW charger. This minimizes downtime during longer trips.
For home charging, a 7.2kW AC charger can fully charge the battery in under 10 hours, convenient for overnight charging.
3. Strong Performance
Powered by a 201hp (150kW) electric motor, it accelerates from 0-62 mph in 7.9 seconds. The smooth power delivery typical of EVs ensures a refined driving experience.
