2022 Hyundai Kona Electric Horsepower

The 2022 Kona Electric runs on a 150-kilowatt electric motor with a permanent magnet. In compliance with SAE metrics, such an output is equivalent to approximately 201 net horsepower. The powerful motor also sends 291 pound-feet of maximum torque to the front drivetrain. Operating on an individual gear, a simple transmission system is synchronized with the motor. Filled with lithium-ion cells, a 64-kWh battery is standard on this Hyundai crossover SUV. When operating at threshold levels, the Li-ion battery produces 356 volts. This electric car arrives at the dealership with a 7.2-kilowatt charging package. It takes the standard charger up to 9 hours and 15 minutes to recharge the battery to peak capacity. Based on internal testing conducted by Hyundai, this 2022 Kona Electric can go for 258 miles from a fully charged powertrain. Utilizing the SAE-Combo charging port that's rated at 100 kW, you could recharge most of the battery in just under 50 minutes. Similarly, it takes the 50-kW charging system slightly longer than an hour to recharge the powertrain. Thanks to the Winter Mode, the Li-ion battery will operate properly on cold days.
