Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at home on a wallbox whenever possible. The Kona Electric's 65.4 kWh battery fills overnight on a standard 7 kW charger, keeping costs low and the process simple.
- Use the Bluelink app to schedule charging to off-peak hours. With a 65.4 kWh battery, the savings are moderate but consistent over time.
- The Kona Electric supports DC fast charging at up to 105 kW, which is slower than some competitors. Arrive below 20% at fast chargers to maximize time in the faster part of the curve, and leave at 80%.
- The Kona Electric's compact size and moderate weight help with efficiency. At steady urban speeds, real-world consumption can drop below 168 Wh/km, reducing your cost per kilometer.
- Avoid using the Kona's climate system at full blast when a lower setting will do. The smaller battery means every kWh used for heating or cooling has a bigger proportional impact on range and charging frequency.
Home charging to 80% is the most cost-effective routine, giving you about 310 km of range. The Kona Electric's moderate battery size means each home charge is quick and affordable. Use DC fast charging for road trips, but keep in mind that its 105 kW maximum means stops take a bit longer than in EVs with faster charging.
