When electric cars started to become more prevalent a few years ago, the prices were out of this world. Not any more, thanks to models like the 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric, a fun and funky sibling of the Hyundai Kona crossover that starts at only $33,550 MSRP. Along with the modest price tag, customers at Keyes Hyundai will find this small crossover to have a confident electric range and many options for recharging.
Electric Performance
One of the benefits of electric cars is quick acceleration thanks to instant torque access. Powering the 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric is a 64-kilowatt battery pack that lets the electric motor offer 201 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque. All trims come standard with front-wheel drive and can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in a brisk 6.4 seconds, which actually makes it faster than the gasoline-powered Hyundai Kona.
Charging on the Road
The 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric has an estimated driving range of up to 258 miles before needing to be recharged. When you need to top off the battery, there are three different charging speeds. At a Level 3 DC Fast Charging station at a maximum rate of 100 kilowatts, the electric battery can be charged to 80% capacity in under an hour.
Each 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric has an advanced regenerative braking system that helps to conserve and recharge while driving. In the most aggressive setting, the Hyundai crossover SUV from our Glendale-area Hyundai dealer can be operated without the brake pedal. Gently pull back on the acceleration pedal, and the vehicle will stop automatically to maximize the amount of energy that can be recaptured. A separate brake pedal is still present for the more intensive city and rush-hour driving.
Charging at Home
If you're curious about electric charging at home, the electric SUV can be charged overnight to full with a standard 110-volt outlet without any modifications. For the serious electric car driver, a new Hyundai Home 240-volt charging system will take the vehicle to a full charge in nine hours. What's really exciting, though, is that Hyundai Home also includes solar panels to power the car and a storage system that can still charge your car even during a power outage.
