2025 Hyundai Kona Electric: Range and Charging Features
If you’re looking for an EV that keeps pace with your busy life on Vancouver Island, the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric is ready to impress. This all-new generation takes everything people loved about the outgoing model and amps it up with smarter tech, bolder styling, and most importantly, more electric range. Whether you’re commuting around Nanaimo or exploring the coast, the Kona EV is designed to go the distance with confidence.
Go Farther With a 420 km All-Electric Range
One of the biggest updates for 2025 is the Kona Electric’s extended all-electric range. Thanks to its 64.8 kWh high-voltage battery and an efficient 150 kW electric motor, the new Kona EV can travel up to 420 km on a full charge. That gives you more flexibility to head out for longer drives or skip a few days between top-ups.
It’s more than just numbers though, the way the Kona delivers power feels smooth, confident, and incredibly quiet. Perfect for city cruising, highway passing, or winding B.C. roads, the Kona Electric is a fun and capable drive that happens to be zero emissions.
Fast Charging That Keeps Up With You
Charging speed is just as important as total range, and Hyundai made sure the Kona Electric is ready for quick turnarounds. With standard 400 V Level 3 DC fast charging, you can get from 10% to 80% in approximately 45 minutes. That means a coffee break while you recharge could be all it takes to get back on the road.
To make winter driving even easier, the Kona Electric now comes standard with a heated EV charge port door. It’s a small touch, but one that prevents freezing issues in cold B.C. mornings because EV convenience shouldn’t stop when the temperature drops.
Convenient Home Charging Options
Charging at home is still the most convenient and cost-effective way to power your EV, and Hyundai makes it easy by partnering with ChargeHub. You can order a Level 2 home charging station to unlock faster overnight charging, with models that are smart, reliable, and winter-ready.
Here are some of the top Level 2 chargers compatible with your Hyundai Kona Electric:
EVduty
Made for Canadian conditions, EVduty chargers are offered in 40 or 48A configurations, support up to 11.52 kW of power, and come with a five-year warranty. Choose between Smart-Home or Standard options, with hardwired or plug-in versions available.
Wallbox
With a compact design and smart features like load sharing, the Wallbox charger offers up to 40A (9.6 kW) charging capacity and comes with a NEMA 14-50 plug for easy installation.
Flo X6:
Manufactured in Quebec, the Flo X6 offers adjustable amperage up to 50A and delivers up to 12 kW of power. Smart energy management features help you take advantage of lower electricity rates and keep your charging efficient. It also includes a five-year warranty for peace of mind.
All these home charging stations use the standard SAE J1772 connector, which is fully compatible with Hyundai electric and plug-in hybrid models sold in Canada.
