It wasn’t long ago that we thought the best EV on the market would be the Chevrolet Bolt. This little car was offered with a strong range, excellent price, and the availability needed to make it a great drive. Now, there’s a serious challenger that just might take away everything that the Bolt has become. The new Hyundai Kona EV has more of the qualities we want and the right drive to let us have a drive that makes even more sense when it’s time to get out on the road and enjoy this EV.

The Right Price for the Kona EV

One of the biggest fears, when Hyundai introduced the Kona EV, was that it would be offered at a price that would make it more costly than the Bolt. Thankfully, the Hyundai team saw how Chevrolet priced the Bolt to be a model that could dip below $30,000 at the base model with the federal tax incentive. The Hyundai Kona EV will start at the exact same price to make it affordable. Recent news allows us to know the Bolt will lose the full incentive in April, but the Kona EV will be able to enjoy this federal tax credit for a long time.

More Range for Your Drive

Range is a huge factor in the driving of an EV. If you can’t drive for at least a typical day with the range that’s offered in the car you drive, it’s hard to have it fit into your lifestyle. The new Hyundai Kona EV will be offered with a 258-mile driving range which is twenty miles more than what the Bolt EV offers. The Kona can also be charged from flat to full in only 75 minutes when using the 50 kWh Level III quick charger.

Plenty of Power and Room for Your Drive

The Hyundai Kona EV is a car that gives you 201 horsepower and 290 lb.-ft. of torque from the single permanent magnet electric motor. This system allows you to reach a top speed of 104 mph which you won’t need. The Kona is also built to be larger than the Bolt and has been considered to be a compact SUV or large hatchback that can be enjoyed on the road. This vehicle is expected to offer the value that we want in an electric vehicle and take another step forward for the drive.
