The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric Is The Small EV Hatch That Won't Break The Bank

With the Chevy Bolt being discontinued and the future of the Nissan Leaf uncertain, Hyundai is going it alone in the small and practical EV category with an all-new Kona Electric. For 2024 it s not only bigger and roomier than before, Hyundai is bringing us two different batteries with one giving you just under 200 miles of range and the other 261 miles. Charging gets faster at home with a standard 11kW AC level 2 charger while DC charging gets only modest improvements. The Kona still isn t the ideal road trip EV, but it is a solid daily runabout with occasional longer travel possible.

I just bought the current generation of Kona EV -- after I saw the upcoming version. I like the looks and dimensions of the outgoing version, but not so much the incoming version. Honestly, Kia did it better with the Niro -- If it weren't for the size, I would have gone with the updated Niro.

Think I rather get a used Etron at the 35k price point with a spare tire. Not as much range as big battery Kona but a charging monster. You are not going to get piston engine maintenance although you might have spendy suspension and brake maintenance items at some point.

I like it, but at the same time, it's hard to beat the Bolt pricing especially since it qualifies for the federal tax credit. Depending on what the final price ends up being, it could even be more expensive than a Tesla Model 3 after the tax credit ( 32. 5-33. 5k)

Looks pretty good, probably a good option for a relatively cheap EV as the Bolt is taking its hiatus for a few years but it will be interesting to see how this will compare to the upcoming 2nd gen Bolt.

Thanks for calling it what it is. A hatchback. HATCHBACK. It's not an SUV no matter how much hyundai claims otherwise. Hatchback isn't a dirty word. And the ioniq 5, ev6 and mach-e are WAGONS.

As an Ioniq 5 owner, I am very envious of the cockpit. Lots of improvements all around - real buttons, better center console, and better instrument cluster.

It is a contender.
Giving me space to store a spare tire isn't as good as providing the jack and spare tire but it is a step in the right direction.

In favour for a crossover with poor cargo space, Hyundai deleted the kamm back shaped Ioniq that ince had leading efficiency second to the Model 3.
