Electric driving technology. The carefully matched components of the electric powertrain have been engineered to provide excellent driving characteristics and a practical everyday driving range. The specially designed platform enables a space-saving integration of the battery packs without compromising roominess.

Smart regenerative braking

The Smart regenerative braking system utilizes the on-board radar sensor to automatically control the level of regenerative braking to react to the traffic ahead. Additionally, it also detects if the KONA Electric is driving up or downhill and adjusts accordingly.

Standard charging

When connected to a home wallbox or public AC charging station, it takes 6 hours 50 minutes to charge the long-range 64 kWh battery pack from 10-100% SOC using the 10.5 kW three phase on board charger (OBC) or 9 hours 15 minutes using the 7.2 kW single phase OBC.

Rapid charging

When using a 50 kW direct current (DC) charging station, KONA Electric’s lithium-ion polymer battery takes about 48 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% state of charge (SOC) for the 64 kWh battery.

 

Where is Hyundai in Kenya? Caetano is located at Crater Automobiles Centre, off Mombasa Road Nairobi, and has been designated by Hyundai as its representative and official distributor of the Korean brand in Kenya.
