What % of Hyundai dealers will have the ability to change batteries?

I hope this displays! How to swap a Kona battery in 15 seconds! :-

I just checked the Hyundai site and there it was; Recall 200. Interesting note: nowhere on the recall does it say park outside or limit charging. I do limit my charging to 80%, but I don’t park outside. However, I usually park outside while I’m charging.

 

I was under the impression that a Hyundai dealer couldn't sell EV's unless they made an investment in equipment, tools, and training to be able to repair and service them. Dealers should be ready to drop these batteries and install new ones. They just need the damn batteries.

 

Can someone explain to me .... what happens while the dealer is waiting to receive the battery? Are we supposed to leave the car there and get a loaner? Or do they just send us home with the Kona until it comes in?

 

I'm sure they'll just call each of us in as a battery becomes available. I also think that the changeover isn't terribly time consuming.

 

I expect they'll tell us in due course.
I'd prefer to keep driving mine until they have the replacement battery. The risk seems to be pretty low (the Tucson problem is more pressing for Hyundai Oz than the Kona EV problem) so I'm happy to keep putting kilometres on it.

 

Syntaxfx So I charge to 80% on a fast charger because it's free after that it takes to long to get to 100%. I did all 5 recalls last week after a year LOL.. Now i will wait as long as i can for my new battery if it ain't broke don't fix it.. Wait what's that noise outside My Kona just blew up Dam...

 

Just follow Hyundai's instructions, keep your insurance paid up and your lawyer close by.
Seriously though, the odds look pretty good to me: 15/82000.

 

5? Am I forgetting some?
