To keep up with customer demand, Hyundai also started producing KONA Electric at its Czech production plant for dedicated markets. So Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC) in 2020 went all in.
In addition. KONA Electric is aimed towards eco-friendly customers. It has also been named a top electric car for families. By offering a segment-leading range at an accessible price point. Thereby making it the perfect car for customers. Especially looking for SUV convenience without the emissions.

KONA Electric is available with two battery-electric powertrains. The long-range version with a 64 kWh battery delivers an impressive driving range of 484 kilometres on a single charge (WLTP). The actual driving range may vary for the record In eco Mode the whole time I got 285-300 miles all electric. On highway and around my Village.
KONA Electric has travelled up to 1,026 kilometres on a single charge. The 39.2 kWh battery option offers a range of up to 305 kilometres on a single charge (WLTP).
Exterior
KONA Electric’s exterior design is sleeker and more refined, giving it a more streamlined look. Its design features a closed radiator grille and is characterized by smooth, aerodynamic shapes.
In addition to its awards, KONA Electric has also collected several noteworthy accolades. Earlier this year, KONA Electric broke the Guinness World Record for “Highest Altitude Achieved in an Electric Car”. In 2020, it also received a five-star Green NCAP rating – based on clean air, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas metrics.
They’re cute, they’re compact, and they’re completely electric. Among the growing swath of budget EVs, the updated 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric is one of the more interesting options of the bunch. It has unique styling, great range, and a decent crop of technology and safety equipment depending on how you spec it. The car pictured here, for example, is a top-trim Limited model, so it’s loaded with all the good stuff.
But once you get past the Kona’s cuteness, Hyundai’s compact EV fails to nail some of the basics. It’s down on space and lacking in performance, and it costs way too much compared to alternatives like the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf. In this case, the Kona’s quirky looks only take it so far.
