7How to charge the Kona
To charge the Kona you need to complete the
following steps.
a) Park and turn off your Kona. Make sure to engage the
electric parking brake.
b) Open the plug ap. This is located at the front of the
vehicle (as shown in the image above). Ensure the car
is unlocked and press the ap to open.
c) Plug the Kona into the charging station or power plug.
If using a 3-pin powersocket or Type-2 charging station
you will use the supplied cable in the boot or if using
a rapid charging station then you will use the cable
attached to the charging station.
d) If you are using a public charge station then follow the
instructions provided. If using a 3-pin power socket
then charge will commence automatically.
e) Once charging has started you can track the progress
via the percentage gure on the dashboard or via the
three lights next to the charging port. Each of the lights
represents 33%. For example, two lights illuminated
equals 66% charged.
f) The car can be secured when charging if you wish to
complete other tasks. To do this simply lock the car as
you normally would and the plug will lock in position
until unlocked again.
g) Once the required charge percentage has been
reached then the car can be untethered from the cable
and then can be driven again as normal.
6Where to charge the Kona
The Kona is charged by simply plugging the vehicle into a
power source. There are several different power sources
ranging from your regular household power plug to a
variety of power sources that can be used to charge up
the Kona.
a) 12v Socket – You can charge using a regular
household power socket. This is completed by using
the supplied 3-pin plug & cable found in the boot of the
vehicle. Charge time from empty is 28-30 hours.
b) AC Fast Charging Station – These are located around
urban areas often in public spaces such as mall
carparks. They are often free to use and utilises the
supplied Type 2 cable found in the boot. Charge time
from empty is 9.5 hours.
c) Public DC Rapid Charge Station – The fastest way to
charge your Kona. These are also located in public
spaces and are usually ‘pay for use’. Charging time
from empty to 80% takes as little as 65 minutes. These
charging stations use a cable which is tethered to the
charging station.
Tip: To nd a public charging station we recommend
downloading the ‘Plugshare’ app for your phone. This
application can direct you to the nearest public charging
station. Make sure you set your lter to ‘Type 2 & Type 2
CCS Combo’ plug types.
Note: If the cable cannot be removed from the charging port then use the unlock button on the key remote as this will unlock the cable. This is because the
cable lock feature may be turned on which prevents the removal of the cable whilst the car is charging. To activate the cable lock feature there is a switch on
the right hand side of the steering wheel. Use this feature when you are using your own charging cable.
