2021 Hyundai Kona Electric: What’s Under the Hood?

One of the top features that sets an electric car apart from gas-powered vehicles is of course their motors. In the base trim of the 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric, you’ll receive a Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) that delivers an impressive output of 201 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque.

If you have a 220/250 V outlet at home, you’ll expect a fully charged battery in approximately 9 hours and 35 minutes. If you’re out and about and need to hook up your Kona to a charging station, you can expect an 80% charge in roughly 54 minutes.

With the incredible electric powertrain offered by the 2021 Kona Electric, you can expect to take your adventures even further for longer. When loaded with its standard powertrain, you can expect to achieve an EPA-estimated 258 miles with zero emissions–the highest of any all-electric subcompact SUV.
