The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in the Kona Electric ensured the stability of vehicle handling in all road conditions.  Technology and performance hand-in-hand made Kona Electric a true performer and record-making first electric vehicle to reach the highest altitude.

During the entire drive duration, the Kona Electric was charged through the convenient portable chargers.

While descending from peaks, the smart power regeneration system in the vehicle complimented the driving range. The conquest personifies Kona EV’s powerful performance and assurance of its range and capability to outperform in any weather conditions across extreme geographies and demographics.
