Electric Vehicles

Eu kona 64 kwh here, very nice car imo. Fast chargers hit 30-50kw, altthough I usually charge at home. No range issues so far, but no big roadtrips. Check if you need the 3 phase one for faster charging without DC.

I just got a Kona last month. Top of the range so not sure what is an option on other models.

No idea about fast charging as only use it for 60 mile runs, 120 there and back. Charging at home is trivial, but the charge port is at the front so either buy a longer cable or get ysed to reversing out of the charging bay (I have to reverse onto a relatively busy road, I do wish the charging port was at the back.

Easiest car I've ever had to drive. The one pedal driving took about a week to adjust to. The speed limiter is perfectly placed, buttons for most things but the touch screen is actually decent, unlike every other car I've seen them in.

However it beeps alot. There is a camera on the steering wheel which beeps if you aren't paying attention to the road, like when you look at the blind spot or check to come off a roundabout. It beeps I'd you go 2 miles over the speed limit. It beeps if you have something in the back seat and the seat belt isn't plugged in. Mostly I can't complain about these, they are legit safety features.

Boot space isn't huge eg for air port runs but if there are two and a kid the cars fine. Can take a weeks shopping. Space under the boot and in the front for a few things ie emergency supplies and spare clothes.

There was a 0% APR offer when I got mine. Between that and electric tariffs the net monthly cost is lower than any other vehicle I could have bought.

In the UK they are selling really fast and I van see why. If the furthest round trip one does is 150 miles in winter there aren't really any major drawbacks. But residuals are likely bad so be prepared to either take a hit or hand it back at the end of the pcp IMO.
