The new Kona Electric has several new exterior and interior upgrades. The Kona Electric also gets an extensive Smart Sense safety suite, regenerative braking, paddle shifters, shift by wire system, and climate pre-settings. The front now comes with a new grille and daytime running lights and has also received a wider set of tail lights to emphasize the car’s presence on the street. The driving range has also seen an upgrade and can drive over 305 kilometres on a single charge.

Furthermore, a 39.2kWh lithium-ion polymer battery featuring multi-stage high-voltage safety systems delivers high energy density for the improved driving range. With its 8″ Touchscreen Audio Visual Navigation System, the new Kona Electric provides a superior spatial experience. The layout and packaging of the cells give the Kona Electric a low center of gravity that promotes agile handling and a comfortable ride.  Kona Electric will be available in Atlas White, Cyber Gray, Galactic Gray, Pulse Red, Surfy Blue and Dark Knight.

Like its predecessor, Kona Electric is expected to create hype in the market: for all the right reasons, says Hyundai.

Laxmi Intercontinental Pvt. Ltd has decided to expand its charging stations spread across the country. There are currently 36 charging stations spread across Nepal. The company aims to expand the number to 50 throughout major cities and highways in the country by the end of 2021. To date, about 70% of the installation has already been finished. The company has pledged to promote EV culture in Nepal beyond simply selling vehicles through the innovative new structure, as well as by expanding the charging stations throughout the country.
