Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	33h30m	7 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	21 hours	11 mph

3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	7 hours	34 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Rapid Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh.

Hyundai has not released details about rapid charging the Kona. The information below is based on estimated values of the most likely rapid charging capabilities.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

All about the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh

Pricing

The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh has an On The Road Price (OTR) of £38,595. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.

Drivetrain and Performance

The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh is 160 kW (215 hp). The maximum torque is 188 lb-ft. The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 7.8 seconds. The top speed is 106 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh has an estimated total capacity of 68.5 kWh. The usable capacity is 65.4 kWh. A range of about 240 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 170 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 360 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 7 hours. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 10 hours 30 minutes and a charge rate of 23 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 33 hours 30 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection (expected). The maximum rapid charge power is 105 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 86 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 165 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh is about 273 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 148 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 385 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 182 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
