I saw a white Kona heading west on HWY 2 towards Leominster, MA. I was in the eastbound lane around 1:30pm on October 24th. Car looked good in white.
 
Took quite a while to find this thread & dig it up. Spotted a blue w/ white top Kona EV on I-395 South, North Oxford Mass. about 8.5 miles north of the Conn. line around 5pm. My first sighting.
 
Saw a Gray Kona EV in the Thornwood (NY) Shop-Rite shopping center yesterday. There's also a Gray Kona EV that parks occasionally at the Westchester County Airport (Millionair FBO).
 
I just saw my first Kona EV in the wild in some time today in San Francisco. A turquoise (I forget the official name of the color) one parked by Canyon Market in Glen Park. I waved but I don't think they saw me.
 
A gray Kona EV pulled up and parked next to my Blue Kona EV at a CVS in Arnold, MD. The driver didn't notice, but I was amused.
 
Well today was special: In the course of one shopping trip I saw two Kona Electrics, about 15 minutes apart, and about 2 miles away from each other. We're taking over!

Two grey Kona Evs charging beside a white Kona Ice model

On a road trip last week I was blocked by a green Soul EV on one charger and a matching grey Kona in the other. Incredibly, the next parking space was a white Kona ICE version. I probably saw a dozen Kona EVs on that trip around Ottawa / Kingston / Montreal.
 
Wow, I just had my second ever 2-Kona-EVs-in-1-trip episode today -- this time at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco. There's always lots of EVs in general at this mall because they offer free charging, but I almost never see Konas there.
 
After 2 1/2 years of ownership I had seen exactly one Kona EV in the wild. Today on a holiday drive into Ontario cottage country I saw three in the space of 30 minutes! Go figure.
 
I saw you today: a shiny black Kona EV on Route 225 by Boch Honda in Westford, MA. You zoomed away from the traffic light. It was fun to see a “Kona launch”. Happy EVing!
 
Today, heading up I-95 through Waltham MA around 2pm, green with a white roof, plate ends in G. You were behind
my gray/white one for a while in the second lane [heavyish traffic], then I moved over and you went ahead and
eventually vanished.

Might want to pay a little more attention to your following distance in general...

This was last week, I saw a grey Kona pulling out of the parking lot behind Shaw’s grocery store in Melrose, MA. We waved at each other.
