In addition, the KONA Electric is its  most popular KONA within the model line-up. Now in the USA every time it hits the showroom they sell out!  Every time too

To keep up with customer demand, Hyundai also started producing KONA Electric at its Czech production plant for dedicated markets. So Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC) in 2020 went all in.

They’re cute, they’re compact, and they’re completely electric. Among the growing swath of budget EVs, the updated 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric top-trim Limited is one of the more interesting options of the bunch. It has unique styling, great range, and a decent crop of technology and safety equipment depending on how you spec it. The car pictured here, for example, is a top-trim Limited model, so it’s loaded with all the good stuff.

But once you get past the Kona’s cuteness, Hyundai’s compact EV fails to nail some of the basics. It’s down on space and lacking in performance, and it costs way too much compared to alternatives like the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf. In this case, the Kona’s quirky looks only take it so far.
