KONA EV range is 400+ kilometers
Since the launch of the Hyundai KONA EV in Canada, we have seen incredible interest in this highly-anticipated electric vehicle in the Kootenays. The KONA EV is a compact crossover with an estimated range of 415 kilometers. With this impressive range, the KONA EV now works for many drivers in our region.
The Kona EV enters two of the fastest-growing segments in the automotive industry: subcompact SUVs and electric vehicles. With its ground clearance, additional storage capacity and available technology, the KONA EV is already garnering hundreds of orders across Canada -- and praise from automotive industry critics. For example, automotive journalists selected the KONA EV as the 2019 North American Utility Vehicle of the year.
