Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · 64 kWh (SX2, 2023+)

Hyundai Kona Electric

Compact electric crossover, second generation. 514 km WLTP, 65.4 kWh. The DC charging peak at 102 kW is lower than at some competitors; a 10-80% charge therefore takes relatively long (manufacturer figure). Braked towing weight 750 kg.

Profile · Long Range AWD (2024)

Tesla Model Y

Electric mid-size SUV, technically related to the Model 3. Strong points are the charging speed (up to 250 kW) and the large luggage volume (854 l incl. underfloor bin and front boot). WLTP 533 km with the 75 kWh pack; owners report 15-25% less range in winter (public forums, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,600 kg (manufacturer figure).
