General EV Discussion

[n7of9]

Didn't Ford get in trouble for telling women-folk they were driving it wrong?

Is that expected or normal in all hybrids, or is the Kona just partcularly cough?

The combined (engine + electric motor) power of the Kona hybrid is about the same as a Golf

Likely you got it in ECO mode - which tries to just use only the electric motor. This is the problem with hybrids - economising on fuel means you are limited to a tiny electric motor

A full EV is much more responsive because of the bigger electric motor with no need to "save" fuel..

Yesterday we filled up at a 7/11 which has a KFC. Across the road the local small shopping centre has 2 chargers apparently. A Kona finished recharging and sped off. It made more noise than most motorcycles Don’t know what he had done to it but he was very fast very noisy.

He must have washing pegs holding playing cards in place so that they poke into the spokes.
Failing that you can buy a device that plays engine sounds through the car radio. Just dial in which engine you'd like.

Only shopping centre I know opposite KFC is Wurtulla, no chargers there
