2024 Hyundai Kona Electric is awaited with great excitement in the American market. Hyundai shared details about this new model, and these details challenge its rivals such as the Chevrolet BOLT EV. The current generation Kona Electric has an important place among affordable electric vehicle options, and the 2024 model is coming to take this success even further.
Large Battery Capacity
The new Kona Electric will have a larger battery capacity than the current model. While the current version runs on a 64 kilowatt-hour battery, the 2024 model will have a battery capacity of 64.8 kWh. This increase increases the range of the car. Hyundai's preliminary tests show that this new version will have a range of 418 km.
Fast Charging and Cold Climate Features
Charging times have also been slightly improved. Using 400V Level 3 DC fast charging, it will take only 10 minutes for the battery to reach a 80 to 43 percent charge level. Additionally, a battery preconditioning option will be available for customers living in cold climates. This will provide better battery performance in cold weather.
Power and Technology
There will be no change in terms of power output. While the long-range version will produce 201 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque with the electric motor mounted on the front axle, the standard range variant will have 133 horsepower. New features include the ability to transfer energy from the vehicle to the grid, meaning users can supply electrical energy to the outside whenever they need it. The interior has been made more attractive with innovations such as ambient lighting, interior details matching the body color and dual 12.3-inch panoramic screens.
Release date
What will the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric do in the US market? zamIt is not yet clear when it will be offered, but this model is expected to be an important player in the affordable electric vehicle class. This car, which will rival the Chevrolet BOLT EV, can be an exciting option for electric vehicle enthusiasts.
