Now down to some EV specs: the Kona Electric has a 7.2 kW onboard charger that will recharge the entire pack from zero miles in 9.5 hours. Its 204 horsepower electric motor means that, despite its mild-mannered non-high performance looks, the Kona Electric can be a tire-chirper.

The Kona Electric features a regen paddle on the steering wheel that Chevy Bolt EV drivers will find familiar. With a 201 horsepower electric motor and 19.2 cubic feet of rear cargo room all on a 164.6-inch wheelbase, the Kona packs a lot into a small-ish footprint. The Hyundai Kona Electric offers 258 miles of all-electric range inside a compact SUV frame. Look for the Kia Niro EV in dealerships later in 2019. While not as much is known about the Niro, it is expected to have many of the same features as the Kona, including a 100 kW CCS Combo charger capability and a price tag somewhere south of $40,000.
The Niro is 7.5 inches longer and 1 inch wider than the Kona, and sits on a 4-inch longer wheelbase this likely accounts for the lower range when compared with the Kona, but the Niro makes up for this with additional front and rear legroom and a sightly higher cargo volume of 19.4 cubic feet. The Niro is an all-electric compact SUV with a 236-mile range from a 64 kWh battery pack. Final MSRP has been set at $74,800.įrom the same auto group as Hyundai comes the Niro EV. Audi is clear: the e-tron is made for long range road trips. Recharge time is 9 hours on a level 2 NEMA 14-50 plug however, find a 150 kW CCS Combo fast charger, and the e-tron will recharge 80% of its battery in 30 minutes. Like both the Jag and the Tesla, the e-tron features air suspension with five modes. Acceleration is slightly slower than the I-Pace, at 5.5 seconds to sixty however, the e-tron features a 4,000 pound max tow rating (the Jag isn’t rated to tow at all) courtesy of its two electric motors (front and rear axle) that pump out a combined 355 horsepower, 414 lb-ft of torque.
The e-tron eeks out a respectable range of 248 miles from its 95 kWh battery pack, with a similar efficiency to the I-Pace. With a price tag of $69,500 before incentives, the I-Pace looks to be a direct competitor to the Tesla Model X.Īnother entrant in the luxury SUV class, the Audi e-tron competes directly with the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace. The I-Pace seats four adults comfortably and has 25.3 cubic feet of storage space left over. Power is provided by dual electric motors on the front and rear axles along with air suspension for a responsive driving experience. That pack garners the Jag a 234-mile range, but a low efficiency of 2.6 miles per kilowatt hour translation: the I-Pace needs a bigger, more expensive battery to achieve the desired range. Jaguar’s first foray into the electric vehicle market is a sharp-looking luxury SUV that zooms from zero to sixty in 4.5 seconds riding on a 394-horsepower/512 lb-ft of torque electric motor and a 90 kWh battery pack from LG.
