2021 Hyundai Kona ELECTRIC Extended Range HIGHLANDER REVIEW

Описание: When Kona first came out, we liked it for it cheeky looks, good price, and great comfort. Since then, the men in white coats have gotten at it. They’ve ripped out the old fashioned petrol engine and given her a shiny new electric motor, and smart set of batteries.

Not only that, but there is a smart new face.
The EV version is not the cheapest Kona, not by a long chalk. You’d need to keep it for many moons in order to recoup your dosh, but that’s not what an EV is about. It is about being able to run all your usual trips, powered by gentle waves, cool breezes, and the gorgeous summer sun. All charging can be offset by renewables.
That will make the pro-coal campaign gnash their crumbling teeth in angst, so another big win for the rest of us.
Soon enough, the rest of the world will have transitioned to green power, leaving coal, oil and even nuclear, behind in a wake of cancer-inducing dust. And that’s where burning stuff should be left, in the past, and the rest, in the ground.
The updates for clever little Kona also brought a new, thriftier driveline option. The shorter-range version costing fewer shekels. The original 150kw/64kwh engine/battery combo is now grandiosely known as the Extended Range. The short-range version is called the Standard Range, for reasons which completely escape us.
Kona will take 100kw charging, so not the fastest in the biz, but more than adequate. It will take around 47minutes per charge. That would add a fair whack to a Sydney-Melbourne drive, but that’s not really what most cars will ever doo, despite their owner’s best intentions.
