Technology
This vehicle is most suitable for green-minded people since it offers emission-free propulsion. It relies entirely on the inbuilt 64-kWh rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery provides a driving range of up to 250 miles when fully charged. To maximize stability, the battery pack has been placed underneath the floor of the vehicle. This lowers the center of gravity of the entire vehicle and it doesn’t intrude the cargo space. The 150-kilowatt motor drives the front wheels only so that it can save energy but saving energy doesn’t mean that it has to be weak; the battery can propel the car uphill and on rough terrains with ease.
The 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric also has an 8-inch touchscreen that enables you to navigate. You can control features of the vehicle by using the Blue Link app; the app is available for android and Apple operating systems.
Charging
The car batteries have been designed with advanced lithium-ion technology to maximize the battery capacity and durability. This vehicle uses a Level 3 charger, which enables recharge in about an hour. This charger is faster than Level 2 chargers, which takes nearly 10 hours to recharge the same battery. This means that you can charge the vehicle in a charging station and continue with your journey on the same day.
