Even in winter you can still count on 300+ km (200+ miles)

Bjørn Nyland recently had the opportunity to test the Hyundai Kona Electric (64 kWh version), purchased about 7 months ago, which already has driven 14,000 km (8,700 miles).

The winter range test was very tough, as the temperatures were as low as -17°C. In such circumstances, energy consumption is high:

at 90 km/h (56 mph) - 330 km (205 miles) and about 195 Wh/km
at 120 km/h (75 mph) - 250 km (155 miles) and about 256 Wh/km

What do you think?
