Think I like this better than the IONIQ 5 as far as design goes. Love the position of the charger in the front bumper on the new Hyundai Kona Electric. 

The South Korea electric vehicle maker rolls out a second generation version of its all-electric SUV.

To keep the pressure on Tesla and all the other EV competition, Hyundai on March 6 unveiled its new second generation, all-electric Kona subcompact crossover SUV, featuring standard and long-range powertrains. 

The Kona Electric has an estimated maximum long range of about 305 miles. EV-specific design elements include frunk storage, active air flaps, interior and exterior vehicle-to-load outlets, head-up display, i-Pedal driving mode, Smart Regenerative System, electronic-active sound design and an eco package.

The back end is kinda “meh”. It reminds me of the rear end slab of a Pt Cruiser convertible.

interesting putting the charger port up front. Gives at least 3’ more of reach when squeezing into a tight charger parking stall..

Will I get my Fisker One delivered before my VW needs its 100K service?? The race is on..
and…… will we still get the $7500 tax credit? Only HF knows…

This is the 2nd gen Kona.  It competes with the Bolt EV (almost the same size).  The first gen also had the port on the center front area.

I can see the PT Cruiser ish style in the back and it is not appealing to me, a bit PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR the way the bulge happens around the light.  I wonder if it is for aerodynamics because it would look better without it.
