Lithium-ion polymer battery
Hyundai decided to use a lithium-ion polymer battery pack for the all-new KONA Electric instead of conventional nickel-metal hybrid batteries. This provides lower memory sensitivity and excellent charge and discharge efficiency, along with outstanding maximum output. A newly developed Battery Thermal Management system in KONA Electric enables higher battery efficiency and higher lifetime. It is water cooled through the connection to the A/C system and heated by an electric heating element.

Battery status
One look is all it takes. Range and battery state of charge are clearly displayed, as well as charging times when plugged into the various types of chargers.
-
Charging time reservation A few taps is all it takes to save money. Use the Charging Time Reservation function on the center screen to program start and stop charging times to make the most of off-peak electricity rates and wake up to a fully charged battery.
-
Charging limit Set a charging limit – for example 90% - to manage the charging time and charging cost. You can charge as minimum amount at the charging station and then fully charge the battery at home with low cost while you sleep.
