When I was on vacation in the south of France I stopped at a Hyundai dealership because they had an Inster in the front lot. I asked if I could see the inside and they gave us the keys to go for a drive! David and I made an improvised review video of the Hyundai Inster that is not available in...

Dear EV owners and experts, I have been researching DC contactor reliability in EVs and noticed that overheating and failures are more common than manufacturers admit. Contactors degrade over time, increasing resistance, which leads to energy losses and unnecessary battery drain (up to 5%)...

Hello - I have a 2020 Hyundai Kona EV Ultimate and pretty regularly I need to reset the clock on the dashboard computer. I haven't obsessed about documenting the occurrences and possible relevant factors; however, I do know that the clock resets occur between chargings, which suggests my...

Lectron had a social media contest a few weeks back for V2L users. One used an air fryer with their V2L adapter. Has anyone actually tried this adapter to power household appliances? Just want to know if getting one is useful in real-world conditions LOL...

I have updated my 2022 Kona with the April 22 map update, and have the Charging Station filter set to not show AC chargers. While driving through New Brunswick along the Trans Canada, if I do a Search|Along Route, I noticed that the Built In Nav system did not know about *any* DC chargers along...

Consumer Reports' recent reporting of the Kona Electric's customer satisfaction/reliability ratings saddened me because I believe the responsible issues are more Hyundai's than the Electric's. So much so that I've written an article explaining why...

Hi, I am taking delivery of the facelifted Hyundai Kona Electric in a few days. In the dealership I tried putting my phone into the wireless charging box and is seemed not to fit. Would anyone of you be so kind as to measure the dimensions of the wireless charging tray or tell me which phone...

I'm sure we all dreamed of a $35,000 electric car a few years ago, but then for those of us in other countries (Canada here), we quickly realized there was currency conversion to consider. I had a deposit on a Model 3 until I put another on a red Kona Preferred, and then got a refund from Tesla...

Has anyone else noticed that Konas seem to just be sitting on lots? I checked out a few dealers (in Ontario) and their inventory seems to be gathering dust. Also, does anyone have any idea about how many units were shipped and sold in Canada? I've never heard any numbers.
