What is the weakness of the Hyundai Kona?
Hyundai Kona Electric reliability: what to expect Where it does have recurring issues is around energy storage and electronics: the big high‑voltage (HV) battery on early 64 kWh cars, the small 12V battery that “wakes up” the car, and a scattering of software and infotainment quirks. Hyundai didn’t say it out loud, but it looks like the reason for the Kona EV’s hiatus is the lack of significant sales. There is an adequate stock of the 2025 model year Kona Electric to manage consumer demand for the model at this time, the spokesperson told Car and Driver.
How long will a Kona EV battery last?
Hyundai Kona batteries usually last between 3-5 years, but this is variable depending on weather conditions, driving habits, the type of battery, and more. The answer depends on a few factors, but generally speaking, with proper care, a Hyundai can easily last 15 to 20 years or reach 200,000 miles or more. This is right up there with some of the most reliable car brands in the market and helps define the Hyundai average lifespan.
