My brother in law ordered his Kona EV in Sept 2018 and it was delivered in Feb 2019. He received a recall letter in April 2021 with the notification that Hyundai expected to have all batteries replaced by October 2022. When that deadline was reached without any contact from Hyundai since the Apr 21 letter, we contacted the firm's UK headquarters to question their lack of action. They subsequently collected the car in October and said it would be between 3- 5 weeks before return due to the numbers they were doing. The car was returned late in the evening a couple of days ago, BUT all Hyundai have done is a software update. They claim that this particular vehicle has the type of battery that wasn't affected, but we are reluctant to believe what they say. It is my understanding that the VIN number displays the exact vehicle specific characteristics, including body style, engine details, which country and plant it was built in etc. If this is correct then Hyundai should have already known which battery was installed and there would be no need to collect the car in that instance. The fact that they did suggests that they may not be being entirely truthful, and it is leaving us with a distrust of everything they say. The fact that the original video was June 2021 and we are now in Oct 2022, still effectively in the dark, is not a confidence booster.
Got the 2021 kona ev. Done 2.5kw , 3.5 kw, 50kw, 75kw charges normally to 80% and sometimes to 100%. How many gas cars catch fire per day? Better get them off the streets also.
