PERFORMANCE
At the heart of any car is its strength and ability. When it comes to electric vehicles, there are two main factors to consider: power and range. Both the Bolt EV and the Kona EV are made to impress—so, which one will win you over?
Electric Strength
Just like with other models, power is paramount when it comes to your car. By having a model that packs a punch for open stretches and trickier road conditions, you’ll have the confidence that leaves you ready to take on anything. So, how do these EVs hold up?
The good news is that both the Bolt EV and the Kona EV are on pace with one another. They have maximum outputs of 200 horsepower and 201 horsepower, respectively. Your thirst for power will be satisfied in both EVs, so the key differences lie elsewhere.
Longer Range
The other side of EV performance is in their range. How far a vehicle can travel on a single charge determines how long you can go on each trip before stopping to recharge. Simply put: As with fuel efficiency of the past, farther is better.
The Hyundai Kona EV sports an impressive 258-mile range on a single charge. The Chevy Bolt EV has a slight edge with its maximum range of 259 miles. While the difference is small at first, you’ll end up saving more time in the long run with that extra mile of drive time.
INTERIOR
A spacious cabin is one that will make you and your riders happier. Whether you’re taking a solo journey with plenty of gear in tow or have friends and family joining in on the fun, size means everything. When you value comfort and function, bigger is better.
Cargo Capacity
More space for your shopping trip finds, moving boxes, and grocery bags means you can easily stock up and bring it all along with you. The more you can fit, the better! The question is, which EV has the space you need for all your things?
Folding down the rear row in the Chevy Bolt EV opens plenty of usable space. You’ll have up to 57 cubic feet of cargo volume to use as you see fit. You can confidently stow away lots of your favorite gear for the next adventure. The Hyundai Kona EV, on the other hand, only offers 45.8 cubic feet of cargo space.
Passenger Room
When you have room to stretch out and relax, you’ll enjoy your time on the road even more. You and your passengers will appreciate having more space to shift around and settle in for the adventure, so every bit of room counts for your front- and back-seat riders.
The Chevy Bolt EV has more room for the people in your life as well. Its 93.9 cubic feet of passenger volume is highlighted by ample headroom and legroom for all riders on board. The Kona EV has a smaller cabin that maxes out at 92.4 cubic feet with smaller dimensions available to you and your passengers.
TECHNOLOGY
EVs have a futuristic flair to them. That includes their fun and functional features to make driving better and more convenient. Here’s what you can expect from these two models.
Infotainment Screen
Touchscreens are a convenient way of accessing your apps, maps, music, and more, all with just a few presses. By having access to a crisp, clear display, you’ll have an even easier time operating the multimedia system while you’re out and about.
The Chevy Bolt EV comes standard with a 10.2-inch color touchscreen that’s easily skimmed and read from the driver’s seat. The Kona EV touchscreen is a smaller display that measures just eight inches. If you value convenience, the larger screen in the Bolt EV is better for your next trip.
Safety Features
Keeping you and your riders protected is always a priority. Thanks to modern driver-assistive technologies, you can be confident in your drive more than ever. Both EVs have plenty to offer on this front.
The Chevy Bolt EV and the Hyundai Kona EV are evenly matched when it comes to safety. They each have systems to help with collision detection, automatic braking, auto high beams, lane keeping, and more. You’ll be well taken care of in both SUVs.
Electrify Your Drive
Now that you see what both the Chevy Bolt EV and the Hyundai Kona EV have to offer, the choice is clear. The Chevy Bolt EV will give you more time on the road, more comfort, and more to appreciate during your travels in and around Champlain, NY, St. Albans City, Burlington, or South Burlington, VT—and beyond. If you’re looking to start an electrifying journey, it’s the right choice for you.
