Can I ask how it works out for you? Are you happy with the car overall? Or does it make you regret getting an EV?

- parineum 6y agoI have a Kona EV and I really really like the car. There is, however, currently a recall on the main battery that sounds like it's going to be fully replaced. For me, personally, all the little caveats of driving an EV work out okay. In the situation I described, I'm okay with hitting a charger on my way home and spending the time waiting. I've taken it on a couple 2 or 3 stop trips (depending on how long you want to stop) and it's not really a big deal. I'm planning a trip next month where the drive will be two days with a total of 3-4 stops on each leg. I'm generally an early adopter and I kinda just think it's cool so I like it. But I don't have a family and I have some free time. However, when I talk to people about it, I always mention it and I would never flat out recommend and EV to someone because of the charging situation. I think an EV would make a great second car for just about any family or couple but having it as your main and only car has drawbacks.
- dataflow 6y agoThat makes sense! I actually had the same hunch—that it would make for a great second car. It's nice to see I wasn't off the mark. I hope the battery stays safe until you can get it replaced ;) thanks for the info!
