HYUNDAI KONA EV (2022) / A gem easily overlooked for its flashier brothers. But is an EV practical?

- Our road trip and review of the 2022 Hyundai Kona EV. Electric vehicles have been criticised recently as being impractical for long road trips. The EV roadmap is based on "wishful thinking" according to some. So let's find out whether a small family SUV like this is suitable for long road trips on our wide brown land of Australia. It's not the most striking looking little SUV but let's get familiar with this popular model and see just how good it is. Or isn't. Is is right for Australian conditions? Is any EV right?

I bought my 2022 in Oct 7 2021 and have driven 20K and no regrets even in to cold winter months in Toronto I still have a range of 365km. Summer the average range is 475km mostly highway. I charge at home for $20 a month. I have saved $5000 in fuel.
Did a 460km roadtrip the other day with only one charger to go to. Went up to some mountain roads. Night fell and it was 140km to the charger and 114km on the car. So I went at 50km/h braking with the regen paddles. 3 hours later i made it with 30km on the car and 8.1 kw/100 km. Talk about range anxiety...
The people who say EV is not practical or cost effective are not educated or have not lived or driven the EV. Yes, the EV is just starting and it is just the beginning of whole new movement in energy transportation. It can only get better for all of us. Tech will come to the battery for longer range with time and EV support industry will be laid out every year that is an improvement over previous year. The future is bright. If you don't look at the positive, you will only gripe about current negatives.
Currently on our third trip to the Highlands. Owned since 2019. Still does 300miles. Now 67k miles. Great car, it works! Long distance car, not for the shops. 2k miles easy.
One of if not the best Kona EV review videos I’ve seen yet. You had me cracking up quite a few times along the way for the ride as well, all the best!
just bought yesterday 8/12/23 this exact model, in White unfortunately but good price [imo] and traded in out Ix35 highlander Diesel 2014. We will see how it goes. The IX35 was faultless. Lets see how this one does.
Huh. Ausie drivers sound a lot like American drivers
You should run a separate EV channel. This was great, but I'm not interested in all the fossil-based content!
great video Stu, thank you
Boo hoo! Ordered mine in June but now there's an extra delay before it arrives. Read all the reviews and looking forward to getting mine.
Best and most entertaining review I’ve ever watched ❤
That was a fab, chilled road trip. Was great to share it with you. Good fun.
A very relaxing and pleasant video to watch. Thankyou for filming this journey!
Thanks, very informative and exactly the review I was after for someone who has never used an EV and is starting to look into them.
I really enjoyed the drive with you, I’ve driven all these roads, earlier this year chasing cars site took an Ioniq 5 to Melbourne doing 5, 8minute stops, as you said on tyres John Cadogan on his channel did a long term test of the Kona and changed to Michelin sport 4 tyres which made a huge difference.
Great video mate, loved following you along. I've just purchased one of these cars. Looking forward to a few road trips.
Excellent upload.
