Technically speaking, the Hyundai Kona EV is powered by a 64-kWh lithium-ion battery which produces around 200 HP and 394 Nm of torque, which is incredibly powerful for its size and comparable to a premium crossover.
The Hyundai Kona EV promises up to 400 kilometers range in a single charge. In terms of charging, the onboard 7.2kW power charger could fill the battery in full in 10 hours and 30 minutes while the faster 50kW could reach 80% in just 1 hour and 15 minutes. Moreover, there is an international 100kW charger that is not present in the Philippines but could fill 80% of the battery in just 54 minutes.
