Hello,
We start to find different information about the battery pack of the Hyundai Kona.
The articles below specifies that the Kona is offered with 2 battery packs: 39.2kWh and 64kWh, Hyundai communicating on the usable capacity.
Hyundai Kona Electric - 250 Mile Range, 64-kWh Battery
Hyundai Kona Electric 64 kWh
We find also the information that the nominal pack voltage is 356V
2019 Hyundai Kona Electric Specifications - The Car Guide
Hyundai Unwraps New Santa Fe, Tucson and Kona CUVs
To reaches 356V, we will have a nominal voltage for each cell at 3.7V with a configuration of 96 cell. (3.7x96=356V)
For the battery pack of 39.2kWh, we can estimate a configuration with 192 cells (96s2p).
Considering that LGChem provides Hyundai just like Renault, Jaguar, etc. and taking over the same cells as for the I-Pace (58Ah).
We determine a battery pack of 3.7x192x58 = 41.2kWh, which gives a depth of discharge of 95%.
For the 64kWh battery pack, the number of cells must be increased and we can consider a configuration similar to the Chevrolet Bolt (288 cells: 96s3p).
If we keep the same cells as the I-Pace, the total capacity is not enough: 61.8kWh
LGChem has 63Ah / 3.7V cells used especially in residential storage (page 8 of the presentation below)

To reach 51.8V (3.7x14), 3.2kWh = 14x63x3.7

If we calculate the battery pack with these cells: 3.7x288x63 = 67.1kWh, which gives a depth of discharge of 95%
In summary :
Kona 40: Total capacity 41.2kWh / Usable capacity 39.2kWh / DoD = 95%
Kona 64: Total capacity 67.1kWh / Usable capacity 64kWh / DoD = 95%
