Good grief! over 600 miles
Here's the auto-tranlsate in to English
============
The electric car version of Hyundai's compact SUV Kona can travel up to 484 kilometers at a time according to the WLTP standard, in practice, depending on driving style and weather conditions, sometimes significantly less. The South Korean manufacturer recently had three copies of the model line up at the Lausitzring in order to set an efficiency record. With one battery charge, every car should be able to travel more than 1000 kilometers thanks to particularly energy-saving driving - so-called hypermiling.
Three teams competed against each other at the Lausitzring: a team of test drivers from Auto Bild , one with technicians from the aftersales of Hyundai Germany and another team consisting of members of the press office and product management of the car manufacturer. The air conditioning was turned off in favor of efficiency. The entertainment system was also deactivated so that the available electricity is used solely for the drive. The daytime running, however, was in accordance with the legal requirements. The standard low-friction tires were used as tires.
During their three-day operation, the Kona Elektro were controlled by changing drivers, who, according to Hyundai, almost all used the cruise control. The result of the hypermiling campaign: The electric SUVs came to a standstill after 1018.7, 1024.1 and 1026.0 kilometers, report the South Koreans. In relation to the battery capacity of 64 kilowatt hours (kWh), each individual value represents a record, since the power consumption of 6.28, 6.25 and 6.24 kWh / 100 km is well below the standard value of 14.7 kWh / 100 km determined by the WLTP. 100 km.

According to Hyundai, all Kona Elektro were in series condition when they arrived at the Lausitzring. The efficiency record achieved with them was confirmed by the expert organization Dekra, which has been operating the Lausitzring since 2017.
“After the distance of over 1,000 kilometers, the average speed of the teams was between 29 and 31 km / h. That sounds slow at first, but on the other hand it must first be achieved in typical inner-city traffic with rush hour and traffic lights as well as in the 30 km / h zones in residential areas, ”says Hyundai Germany boss Jürgen Keller. “With our range mission, the Hyundai Kona Elektro has demonstrated its great potential as an efficient and environmentally friendly lifestyle SUV. This proves its suitability for everyday use and shows that the subject of range anxiety should be a thing of the past with our electric vehicles. "
