The other day, I got an email from Jock Gill, my college classmate who was one of the leaders for theproject in his home town of Peacham, Vermont. Jock has been leasing a Chevy Bolt, but his lease is nearly up and he has been casting about for a car to replace it. He told me the Hyundai Kona Electric is that car.
Jock found the Hyundai dealer in Burlington, Vermont to be very helpful. “They will take into account every possible incentive offered to Vermonters for going electric, including turning in an old ICE clunker. The incentives can easily reach $12,000 or more, in some cases, a good bit more. I was not thinking Kona, but the bang for the buck is solid. It is essentially a Teslaesque Bolt replacement.
The Kona Electric offers a choice of two batteries. The 48.6 kWh battery has an estimated range of 200 miles, while the 64.8 kWh battery has an estimated range of 260 miles. It is interesting that the car with the larger battery is almost identical to the Chevy Bolt in terms of battery size and range, so people like Jock Gill who are looking to replace their Bolt with a new EV will feel right at home.
