3,000 Mile Road Trip Kona EV (Video)

[Kyle Conner]

Hi all,

Just completed a 3k mile road trip in a Kona EV. Someone mentioned I should share the video of the trip over here. All of the charging and efficiency data is in the video... a longer one (~30m) but worth the watch if you’re interested in the car or the eastern US charging infrastructure.

If you have any questions feel free to ask away in the YouTube comments or here.

I just purchased a Kona EV (ultimate package) and want to take a road trip with it from Connecticut to western Kentucky (visiting family). I have no clue how to plan this out, so any tips, Apps, or other advice would be greatly appreciated. I just don't want to get stuck in the back woods of Kentucky (think Deliverance...).

I haven’t received my Kona yet but according to some people this site (https://abetterrouteplanner.com) works pretty good. From what I can see it’s a pretty good site too, giving you the best route to take and how long you need to charge at certain stops. It also works for loads of other EVs as well!

No doubt....i drove thru the back roads once there and sure enough, they were on their rockers sitting on the front porch. All i could hear in my head was banjos.
