2018 Hyundai Kona Electric
In addition to the version with 64 kWh, there is even a cheaper with 39.2 kWh. If the 64 kWh were completely available as net values, that would be just 15 kWh per 100 km at the specified 400 km range, despite the size
of the car just barely reachable. But we assume that are gross values. There would have to be deducted from the maximum range still about 20 percent.
It is amazing that the Kona accelerates from zero to 100 km in only 9.2 s with the much lighter battery, the other in 7.6 s. So you can see, acceleration also means the timely provision of energy and that is much better
with the larger battery. Conversely, the car with the smaller consumes only a minimal 14.8 kWh, the larger 15.2 kWh.
The Kona has an active battery cooling. Maybe this is responsible for the amazing speed for a pure electric car in this size. This also applies to the variant with the smaller battery. The AC charging power has been
retrofitted, much more interesting with DC. There are e.g. 54 minutes for 80 percent battery charge offered.
The charging cables are plugged in at the front, an advantage when the cables are short and connected firmly to the charging station. If you look at the first video below, you will discover under the car preparations for
inductive charging. However, it would be nice, somebody would explain us, how high the losses are, also with the already mentioned active battery cooling and the cooling of the charging cable, which is necessary at
high currents.
