A smudge over 14.5k with full Hyundai service history, large service done and two free services (did finance but paying it off before it kicks in - so you get the services).
Did around 100 miles in it today and thanks to horrendous delays on the M5 (Tesla had service work and every route out of Cribs was rammed) it achieved a little over 5 miles per kWh. Extremely comfy on the 19” wheels and as with any EV it made the star stop traffic a breeze.
I would definitely at least look at an Ionic 5 if you are thinking of a Kona (or Niro). I used to own a 64kWh Kona Premium SE and beyond that car having a bit more kit (mainly miss the cooled seats at this time of year) the 5 is a nicer car. If you planned to do longer journeys relaying on public charging the significantly faster charging curve alone might be the deciding factor (arguably the Kona / Niros biggest flaw).
It is massive (relatively for its shape) though so you might need to factor that in. For context it’s as long, wider and quite a lot taller than our Model 3. The shape side by side makes it a lot bigger but the practical footprint is about equal. It is noticeably roomier inside than the Kona and has adjustable rear seats (horizontal and recline) if you need either more room in the back or boot.
