I got my new Kona EV 2020 Premium this week.
And I am full of ideas to upgrade this machine.

Does any one have an service manual of the Kona EV
to take some parts apart?

I was interested in removing the mid console to install some extra USB socket for the back.
And if the there is any room 220v 150W AC socket for a notebook like the E-niro has.

I am also interested in in building an extra 12V socket in the trunk any one has done that already?


Thanks a lot,
for your time guys.

There is a video on FB on removing the center console. You will need to join the group Hyundai Kona Electric (EV) to view it.

I can not watch the video it is is not available to me it says on Facebook.

Nevermind just saw your full message.

There is online service info, but its a subscription service. You can subscribe for as little as 24 hours for 17 Euro. You can't download stuff but you can print to PDF.

Does yours have the 3-phase charger ? If so can you post a photo of the rating label on it, as there has been a lot of speculation on details but no facts yet.

My understanding is that the UK will not receive any MY 2020 cars with the 3-phase charger until after April 2020

I know - the OP 's flag is Netherlands, which is why I asked

There is some info here on disassembling some parts

So it is, Peter should pay more attention, sorry!

@mikeselectricstuff wich rating label are you refering to, i have indeed the 3 phase charger build in.

 

[mikeselectricstuff]

The one on the body of the charger, which is the uppermost part under the main plastic cover under the bonnet/hood.
This shows the 7kW one :

Mine duein March i think should have this.

I just popped the hood open and this is what is on the label.

Btw just saw the facebook video thanks a lot for the info.
Now i have to find a way to get 12v in the back trunk.
any info about that?

Now that is very interesting - that looks like it's a higher powered single-phase charger, not 3-phase as everyone had previously assumed!
What is the rating of the charge cable supplied with the car? (cable size is often printed along the cable)
Can you tell how many fat cores are in the cable from the charge port to the charger? Does the connector on the side of the OBC look the same size as in my viedeo?

The charger is actually DC, which is single phase in a sense. The AC is rectified first, so the charger doesn't care if the AC on the input side of the rectifier is 1, 3, 6 or even 12-phase, except for the ripple. It (charger) only needs to limit its maximum draw to not overload the AC cable cores or upstream supply, as signalled by the EVSE.

I ran cables to a rear dashcam under the edge of the headlining and it was very easy. there is an ignition-on 12V supply in the auto-darkening rearview mirror which is very easy to access, so maybe that's an option.

If it were 3-phase, it would spec more than 285VAC on the input as 230V 3-phase is 415V phase-to-phase.
Some 3-phase OBCs (i3 I think) have 3 seperate sections, and use two in parallel for single-phase 32A

 

[mikeselectricstuff]

I just noticed that my 2018 Kona does not have the two lowest pins in the type 2 connector populated - is this also the case with the 2020 ? That would be the obvious answer to whether it supports 3-phase

 

[parsaria]

I will check the cables later this evening it is now parked.
I will also check what the inputs cables to the charger.

 

[mikegs]

If it were 3-phase

I'm taking my reply to the other thread to avoid further hijack
