Performance

Electric driving technology

The components of the electric powertrain have been engineered to provide excellent driving characteristics and a practical everyday driving range. KONA Electric’s new platform was designed with an electric powertrain in mind. This allows the space-saving integration of the battery packs without compromising passenger room.

Smart Technology for intelligent driving

KONA Electric’s regenerative braking systems allows you to charge the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. There are various levels available.

Smart regenerative braking

The Smart regenerative braking system uses the on board sensor to automatically control the level of regenerative braking to react to the traffic ahead.

Engine Sound System

Electric cars are close to silent. This helps reduce the road noise, however, it can also have a negative impact on a possible hazard to pedestrians, that’s why the KONA Electric is equipped with a melodic driving sound, announcing its distance to pedestrians, cyclists and the blind.

polymer battery takes about 57 minutes to charge to 80% state of charge
for the 39KWh battery and 75 minutes for the 64 KWh battery.

Fast charging

When connected to a home wall box / AC charging station, it takes 9 hours 35 minutes to fully charge the 64KWh battery pack, and 6 hours 10 minutes for the shorter-range 39KWh battery pack. You can also connect to a regular household power socket
using the ICCB-cable (in-cable control box) for charging times of 31 and 19 hours respectfully. KONA Electric comes equipped with a 7.2 kW on-board charger, which converts AC power from the wall socket to DC power that charges the battery in the vehicle.
