Hyundai Kona Electric
Hyundai’s first all-electric SUV, the Kona Electric, has arrived in Australia and is now available from $59,990. The new Kona Electric features a powerful 150kW electric motor powertrain with the ability to travel up to 449 kilometres on a battery charge (WLTP), in a strikingly sporty SUV package.
Plugged into a 100kW DC fast-charger, Kona Electric can reach 80 percent battery charge in 54 minutes. In addition, the 7.2kW on-board charger allows battery recharging when plugged into a normal household socket, using the supplied In-Cable Control Box (ICCB).
Kona Electric produces a near-instantaneous 395Nm from its electric motor, providing effortless and surprisingly sporty performance, with a 7.6-second 0-100km/h.
