Hyundai Kona Electric e-Max charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 39.2 kWh | 32 minutes | RM 54.94 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 65.4 kWh | 1 hours 22 minutes | RM 91.56 |

Hyundai Kona Electric e-Max charging time by charger power
How long the Hyundai Kona Electric e-Max takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 29 hours 44 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 9 hours 21 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 5 hours 57 minutes |
| DC fast | 105 kW | 10% → 80% | 37 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the Hyundai Kona Electric e-Max charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 37 minutes, peaking at around 105 kW. 400V; ~79 kW average. Modest DC peak vs the 800V Ioniq/EV6.
The Hyundai Kona Electric e-Max is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 32 minutes (fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 262 km of range for RM 54.94. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | RM 28.69 | -RM 26.24 |
| 1000–1500 cc | RM 33.91 | -RM 21.03 |
| 1500–2000 cc | RM 41.73 | -RM 13.20 |
| 2000–2500 cc | RM 49.56 | -RM 5.38 |
| > 2500 cc | RM 59.99 | RM 5.05 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and RON95 (BUDI95) at RM 1.99/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
