Hyundai Kona Electric Range Test In Winter (-17°C): Video
Bjørn Nyland recently had the opportunity to test the Hyundai Kona Electric (64 kWh version) in frigid winter conditions. The range was still over 200 miles, despite the cold.
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
The problem with winter use of Hyundai Kona Electric (and many other EVs) is limited fast charging power - below half of the normally expected values.
In the case of the noise test, the results were moderate, around 68 dB:
Short-range Battery / Motor spec:
- 39.2 kWh battery – 300 km (186 miles) range (WLTP)
- 99 kW, 395 Nm electric motor (front-wheel drive)
- 0-62 mph (100 kmh) in 9.3 seconds
- 104 mph (167 km/h) top speed
- 7.2 kW on-board charger and 100 kW CCS Combo DC fast charging capability
- 64 kWh battery – 470 km (292 miles) range (WLTP)
- 150 kW, 395 Nm electric motor (front-wheel drive)
- 0-62 mph (100 kmh) in 7.6 seconds
- 104 mph (167 km/h) top speed
- 7.2 kW on-board charger and 100 kW CCS Combo DC fast charging capability
