for kona, i noticed that when using AC charging, the OBC will regulate the charge rate regardless of you using an EVSE rated at  22kW, 7.4kW, 3.2kW or lower. as the SOC approach 100%, the charge rate can drop to 1.4kW. so my guess is that with AC, the battery is regularly balanced provided you charge to 100%

Just curious: Does the manual say how often you should charge the Kona  to 100%?

There are still very few DC rapid chargers (the 30 mins type your described). Most are AC fast charger only and will take a few hours for each charge.

Oh yes, thats true. We would prefer charging to be chop chop but I read that its not good for battery health.

I don't have the answer to your question.

To digress, from a battery health standpoint, battery life span lasts longer when you don't have it always at 100%. From what I know keeping 20% - 80% is ideal for long battery life time, similar to the range apple iphone of low battery mode,20%, and 80%.

No use.

1. Sg ppl scare mafan. There must be 1 charger at every car park lot.
2. road tax more ex. That’s enough to scare off a lot of ppl.

Yea, the road tax rly ah.. As much as garment say they want to promote this way of transportation, it doesn't rly show up tax-wise. Not asking for 0 tax or anything but having it slightly lower than ICE would be nice. Then when things pick up then adjust. -my opinion.

27 locations as of now.  Each location usually (but not all) with 2 DC and 2 AC rapid chargers

They all kept harping on about Allergies. 

But something tells me another something starting with "All" triggered a lot of the ire. 😁

Well, at least you got it. 😁

I aim to calibrate my especially outré comments to be sufficiently cryptic such that someone likely to take real offence at them would be insufficiently sophisticated to actually parse them semantically. 😂

In other words, pretty much what @Datsun366 used to do before he became more or less intelligible. 🤣🤣🤣

what i read on the internet is to do this when you notice the real range does not match the estimated range shown in the dash.

kona full battery is higher than 64kWh (somewhere around 67-68kWh). so technically when charged 100%, it is still not 100% of full charge of the battery

ah okay, thats cool. I didn't know about that! So it's technical aspect wise, 64kWh isn't the real max and it is more like a figure that Hyundai market out to the masses?

After so many posts I am surprised no one has brought up the Archiles heel for the slow take up of electric cars.....the road tax!

Here are some crazy road tax for electric vehicles:

BYD e6               120bhp                    $1,118/yr

 BMW i3             167bhp                    $1,775/yr

BMW i3              181bhp                    $1,963/yr

Hyundai KONA  201bhp                    $2,244/yr

Tesla Model 3   301bhp                    $4,074/yr

Jaguar I-Pace    394bhp                    $5,801/yr

Tesla Model X   517bhp                    $8,103/yr

Are you ready/prepared to pay for these road tax for quick accelerating but soulless cars?

Similar to Diesel car, need distance to breakeven additional roadtax
