Ownership summary

Verdict:

Hyundai Kona Electric 48 kWh 2023 fits the role of a FWD electric SUV with a family-first ownership profile for daily driving, home charging and family use. The official EPA range is a useful headline, but the BEVDB mixed estimate of about 183 mi and the 136 mi cold-highway scenario are better planning figures.

In daily use, home charging takes about 5 h 44 min from 0-100%; on trips, the 10-80% DC estimate is about 41 min (est.), so highway use needs more patience. The practical side is documented with 5 seats, 16.5-45.9 cu ft cargo and 8 years / 100,000 miles battery warranty. The main caveat is that road-trip charging is slower than newer long-range EVs. Range confidence is high and the tracked ownership specs are complete.

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from EPA data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

BEVDB estimates use EPA-rated (or derived) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
