Overview
Charging the Kona Electric at home
Onboard 10.5 kW AC. A 7 kW single-phase unit is the mainstream pick; step up to 22 kW only if you already have three-phase and drive over 100 km per day.
Best for: Second-car buyers and downsizers who want a proven, no-drama EV.
What makes it different
Why the Kona Electric stands out
- 10.5 kW AC onboard — a 7 kW single-phase unit handles it
- Available in Standard (48 kWh) and Extended (65 kWh) packs
- Second-gen Kona feels bigger inside than the first
- Heat pump standard on Extended — Perth winter energy stays low
The Kona is Perth's daily-driver EV of choice for a reason
It's on its second generation now, with genuinely no headline flaws — the sort of car most Perth families buy, plug into a 7 kW Zappi, and never think about again.
Empty to full: about 9 to 10 hours (Extended pack)
Empty to full: about 6 hours 30 min (car caps at 10.5 kW)
50 km added in about 1 hour on 7 kW
Our pick for the Kona Electric

We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a Kona Electric that only takes 10.5 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.
- Matches the Kona Electric's 10.5 kW onboard AC rate
- Type 2 / CCS2 socket, native to the Hyundai
- Backed by our 10-year installation warranty
