No charger

If you bought a vehicle before January you get a free charger. If you bought one later, not only do you not get a free one, but you can’t even purchase one. Terrible customer experience. But love the car.

No NACS Adapter Provided - Dealer Sent me to Support, No Help

Hyundai announced before the end of the year that they would be providing NACS adapters. When I purchased my new Kona EV in March, I expected the NACS Adapter to be provided. The dealer said that I would have to contact support. I opened a ticket with support and received a response that the program was only valid for cars purchased by the end of January. I couldn't understand why Hyundai wasn't providing for it's new cars, but I accepted the response and then asked where I could buy an authorized adapter. I didn't want to purchase something that might void my warranty. Neither support nor my dealer could tell me what adaptors are approved for use and none are available on the Hyundai Store. So, I'm stuck with no NACS Adapter. Other than this issue, I am happy with my car and my delivery experience.

Ev yes

Love accelerating. Handling and zooming around the city. Wish the seats were more comfortable and the suspension was a little more forgiving. Ground clearance is great for pot holes.

I love driving my Kona SEL.

My car is fun and comfortable to drive and I feel proud to drive it around. It’s pretty! The charging is easy and I love never getting gas.

It is bigger than it looks!

We shopped for our first EV, and we wanted a smaller SUV. We found the Kona Limited Electric to be roomy for four adults, a car that handles well, peppy and fun to drive. The Limited trim has some great features.

Love my Electric Kona

So far, I really enjoy my car. It has almost all the features that I want for the price point. I was nervous about getting an electric car first, but I’ve had nothing but a good experience so far.

Just and OK car. Not really great

Lots of issues. No walk away door locks, no folding side mirrors or HUD. The location of the charge port is going to be a huge problem when you have a fender bender. Needs to be located further up and on the driver side. The drive modes are rough and almost jarring.

Very good but basic

This is a fun little SUV that feels solid, runs well so far, and is easy to drive. It is missing some basic functions though - like Homelink to be able to open a garage door, additional cameras for safety, and reserved seat settings.

Wonderful Commute and or Second Car

This is a fabulous commute car or a second car to do errands around town. The 260 mile range, makes it easy to not have any range anxiety. We charge the car about every couple of weeks.

Excellent Choice

The car is very comfortable and easy to drive. I really like the adjustable one-pedal settings. It's easy to change and very intuitive. The entertainment system works great and the screen is excellent.

3 complaints in comparison to my same 2022 model

3 COMPLAINTS - in comparison to my former 2022 Kona EV: HOME SCREEN VIEW MAP - on 2025 it is so dark during the day as to be almost not readable (see pic); whereas on the 2022 Home screen view map, the map was easily visible during the day. Have design engineers make the 2025 map visible during the day. 2025 AUTO HEADLIGHT SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE - even in bright overcast day, the headlights are on. I literally have to turn OFF to conserve batteries. This is not efficient and cuts into driving range. Have design engineers make 2025 headlight sensor less sensitive so one can leave setting on AUTO - as was case with 2022. Many complaints like this on OWNERS' FORUM!! SUN ROOF ISSUE - on 2022 I could tilt the sun roof for flow thru ventilation even on days when temps were in low 80s 'F°'and manually almost close the solid movable ceiling panel, thus getting great ventilation with no solar heat gain AND NOT having to use AC. On 2025, the only way to tilt to sun roof for more flow thru ventilation is to have the solid movable ceiling panel FULLY OPEN, thus exposing interior of car to great solar heat gain. Thus, I am using AC more often, further burdening the battery and decreasing my driving range. Have design engineers make change to the LIMITED model back to manually adjusting the solid movable ceiling panel to allow good flow thru ventilation and no solar gain. ADDITIONAL ISSUE - Factory 12 battery was bad and replaced at 600 miles

The (almost) perfect vehicle!

My wife and I love everything about this car: the exterior, the interior, all the features, the comfort, the ride quality, the sound system, and so much more. In a world in which every new car is "bigger and better", the Kona packs a major punch into a smaller SUV. When we started our new car journey we knew only one thing: we wanted an electric vehicle. The Kona was never on our list of electric cars to try, but when we saw it on the lot, it immediately grabbed our attention. And once we drove it, we were even more impressed. However, we continued to test try other electric vehicles but the Kona was always on our mind. And once we saw how large and cumbersome the other vehicles were, there was no doubt left in our mind. Since bringing it home, it has been a wonderful pleasure to drive it every single time. We always joke about if we had to get another new car, it would just be another Kona EV!

Review of 2025 Kona limited edition

Seems like a very comfortable well built safe vehicle. The limited edition has many useful safety features to help this aging driver. I find the surrounding view extremely helpful when negotiating tight spaces. The blindspot camera is an excellent safety feature and much used. I like reducing my carbon load.
