You're right, the Kona EV hasn't been crash tested, but the gas-engined Kona has and it performed well: https://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/hyundai/kona-4-door-suv/2018. It would expect the EV to perform similarly.
Any electric car has a potential fire risk in an accident, but it's important to remember that gas-engined cars also carry a large quantity of combustible fuel. So it's not as if you're risk-free in either type of vehicle.
