We frequently drive from NE CT to the Lowell MA area (grey SEL with white top), sometimes stopping in Acton for lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. Meantime the only EV we've ever spotted in our area was a Bolt, other than that we feel pretty darn unique. We did see a Tesla M3 in Lowell a couple of weeks ago.

Acton seems to be the center of the Kona EV universe. I’ll be there this morning, ha!

Another Kona EV in the Mass!

Yesterday was a banner day for Kona EV sightings. I saw five on my 50km commute home between Victoria and the Cowichan Valley. Two white, one grey, one red and one blue.

I also parked beside a grey one at the grocery store yesterday.
 
I saw you: a galactic gray Kona EV in Lowell, MA this afternoon. I flashed my lights. Looking good!
 
I saw you: yesterday in Duncan, on Beverly street. You pulled out in front of me and I noticed your Van Isle sticker near your license plate. Our two car ceramic blue caravan was short lived as we parted ways at the traffic circle at Lakes road.

I saw a lovely white one in an “accessible parking” spot in the interstate Kaiser parking lot this morning. Made my day!! Only the second Kona EV I’ve seen in this area. All the rest are ICE. (Internal combustion engine)
 
It’s been a while since I saw another Kona EV in my area, but I saw another Ceramic Blue in Concord, MA today parked outside the Concord Bookstore. It’s the first one I’ve seen that’s the same color as mine. It made me do a double take! Nice car
 
I saw you yesterday around 11:30am in Concord, MA: a Pulse Red Kona EV. It's the first red one I've seen in the metal - looked great!
 
Last Sunday I saw you in the Pulse Red Kona, and the other guy in the ceramic blue Kona parked in my little grocery store parking lot in Mill Bay BC.

Then on Thursday I saw you, ceramic blue twin driving up the Malahat as I commuted to work in the morning, and another grey one as I commuted home.

Also, hello to my new white Kona neighbour in Cowichan Bay. I saw you last week!
 
Not sure why H is so slow to distribute the Kona EVs in the mid-Atlantic/New England area. We're just north of NYC, and there is only 1 2020 Kona EV within less than 150 miles of here according to the inventory site; there are a few at 175 miles or so, and more are at greater than 200 miles distance. We had ours driven up to a local dealer from the Baltimore area back in December. I keep looking and haven't seen another Kona EV yet.

I live near poughkeepsie just north of nyc and have seen only 2 other kona EVs besides my black one...

I live in the East Bay area of Northern California. On August 6 I saw a black Kona EV in the parking lot of a fast food place; still had the temporary paper plates. Scarce even in this area. Can spot Teslas all day long!
 
Triple play this afternoon
Gray Kona Electric - southbound on Old Island Hwy, south of Bowser
White Kona Electric - northbound on the same hwy, south of Qualicum beach
Blue Kona Electric - westbound on Dufferin Cres, by the hospital
Didn't want to leave any one out:)
 
Coming back home from Cape Cod this past Sunday, I spotted an Ioniq EV on the highway. First one I've seen in the wild.
