Remarkably well with the snow tires, the added battery weight makes the traction feel very close to my AWD CRV. The CRV has great snow traction. I have had the CRV in 12-16 inches of snow at out farm. At that point its plowing snow but with good snow rubber its got the grip of a billy goat. I don't think I am going to try that with the Kona. Well at least not till I know where I can attach the tow hooks
Had to grab my welding goggles before looking at this picture, the high gloss and shine affects my retinas Hope all worked out for you and can leave that negative dealer purchase experience behind, Congratulations- looks awesome.
Congrats Apu! Great colour and shinny! Sorry to hear the dealership experience wasn’t the greatest. I am actually glad our dealership has been great with us.. we got offered a different colour last month as somebody else backed up on their order, but we are actually gonna hold on till January in hopes to get the bc scrap it program rebate..

Thanks Lex, I had forgotten your black ultimate was still inbound. At least January is literally around the corner. I am looking forward to the pictures
Love the color. I opted for blue as it comes with the white roof.. Black roof would be too hot for Florida..
I agree, its a shame they don't offer a white roof with the red, that would look pretty swank, kinda like my wife's old Mini Cooper. Nonetheless I like your white on blue that would have been an easy second choice for me. That said the new 2020 acid yellow color in Canada is pretty funky, shame its only available in the stripper "essential" trim.
Numbers are in for 2019: 87,000 BEVs by Hyundai Motor group. Kona EV sales over 45,000. Great to see those kind of healthy numbers worldwide. https://insideevs.com/news/391457/2019-hyundai-motor-group-sold-87000-bevs/
Has anyone had their late may early june orders filled yet? Ordered mine may 31st and still waiting.....
Where did you order yours? I heard most of the mid may orders are getting delivered already. We ordered ours on may 21st and it’s here. We are just waiting for the paperwork to finalize (BC rebates).. hopefully next week I’ll be driving mine.. Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
We picked up ours!!! Took a bit longer doing all the rebates applications as we got super lucky and got the bc scrap it rebate too! What a beauty, it’s better than I remember from the test drive (also the fact we got the 2020 instead of the 2019 one.. so happy with the wait and now on my way out to spend the day driving... lol!! Ordered May 20th (Ultímate)... and, was supposed to get it last November, but we gave up our spot to wait for the extra rebate, by doing that we gave up our black ordered and got the ceramic blue. We are actually happier with the blue than what we would’ve been with the black (it worked out in our favour). Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
