Hyundai's designers managed the tough task of bringing the charm of the Kona's exterior design to the cabin while maintaining comfort and convenience. Quality materials, good ergonomics, and comfortable seats feel grown up and refined but not out of step with the Kona's funkadelic outward appearance. The Kona Electric is powered by a 356-volt lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 64 kWh, that produces 201 horsepower and has the added benefit of producing zero tailpipe emissions. The electric motor smoothly delivers instant torque for quick acceleration. When plugged in to a regular home outlet the Kona Electric will charge to 100% capacity in 9.5 hours however at charging stations, DC fast chargers can power up to an estimated 80% in under an hour. The Kona Electric has a range of 258 miles per charge. The advanced lithium-ion polymer battery is covered by a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty. The Kona Electric comes in three trims the SE, SEL and Limited all with an extensive list of standard equipment.
