Use this estimate for the reviewed SEL (17-inch wheels) configuration. Adjust the electricity price, charge window, charging efficiency, and mileage to match your situation.

Quick answer: Hyundai Kona Electric charging cost

For the reviewed SEL (17-inch wheels) configuration in United States, using a 64.8 kWh usable-battery estimate and 90% charging efficiency, a 20–80% charge is estimated at $7.91 at home, $10.80 on public AC, and $21.60 on public DC. These totals use the selected home rate of $0.1831/kWh, editable illustrative public rates of $0.2500/kWh AC and $0.5000/kWh DC, a $0.00 session fee, and a public AC time fee of $0.0000/hour (estimated at $0.00 for this charge).

These are estimates, not a bill. The battery values are independent usable-capacity estimates. Public totals include the entered session fee and AC time-fee estimate; monthly fee totals use the entered number of public sessions. Per-mile and journey costs show energy only. Idle fees and DC time fees are excluded.

Public charging prices Public AC price per kWh Public DC price per kWh Public session fee Added once to each public AC or DC charging session. Public AC time fee per hour Optional. Uses a rough duration based on the vehicle’s onboard AC limit and charge window; this is not a station-specific quote.

Illustrative public-charging starting values only: $0.25/kWh AC and $0.50/kWh DC. Operator rates, subscriptions, idle fees and time fees vary. Entered session fees and estimated public AC time fees are included. Idle fees, network-specific charges, and public DC time fees are excluded.

Charge and efficiency Charging mode Home charger nameplate power

Home charger nameplate: 7.2 kW; vehicle AC rating: 11 kW; estimated effective charging power: 7.2 kW effective.

Home and public charging costs

The comparison uses the same vehicle record, 20–80% and 0–100% charge windows, and the current state or national home price. Public rows include the entered per-session fee and public AC time-fee estimate; public rates are editable illustrative assumptions.

Estimated charging cost comparison for Hyundai Kona Electric
Charging mode	20–80% cost	0–100% cost	Energy cost per mile	Rated vehicle power limit
Home	$7.91	$13.18	$0.05	7.2 kW effective
Public AC	$10.80	$18.00	$0.07	11 kW
Public DC	$21.60	$36.00	$0.14	100 kW

A practical monthly example

At 1,000 miles per month, the published consumption figure implies about 290.0 kWh from the grid for home driving. The estimated home energy cost is $53.10 per month.

This example shows home energy cost only and excludes public session fees. Change the distance, consumption basis, and electricity price above. Weather, speed, tires, heating, battery age, and driving behavior can change actual use.

What the charging power numbers mean

The home estimate shows charger nameplate power and the lower effective power after the vehicle’s onboard AC limit. Public DC peak power varies during a session and is not treated as a constant rate.

What is specific to this Hyundai Kona Electric?

These notes apply to the reviewed SEL (17-inch wheels) configuration, not automatically to every model year, wheel size, battery, or market.

Variant and model-year scope

This page models the U.S. 2025 Kona Electric SEL with 17-inch wheels. Its EPA range is 261 miles and the rounded EPA consumption label is 29 kWh/100 mi. The 64.8 kWh usable capacity is marked as an independent estimate because Hyundai's system-capacity figure is not itself a usable-capacity claim.

Usable battery capacity

64.8 kWh usable battery; an independent estimate for this exact vehicle configuration. It is not a manufacturer-confirmed usable-capacity figure.

Native AC connector and home charging

SAE J1772. Hyundai lists an 11 kW onboard AC charger. The home-time estimate is capped by the lower of the vehicle's onboard limit and the selected home EVSE power.

Native DC connector and public charging

CCS Combo 1. The selected vehicle uses CCS Combo 1 for native DC fast charging and Hyundai lists up to 100 kW. A supported NACS adapter can add DC access at compatible equipment; it does not replace the native J1772/CCS1 connector. A typical 10–80% average is not supplied.

Connector and adapter notes

The vehicle has native J1772 AC and CCS Combo 1 DC inlets. Hyundai's NACS adapter provides DC access to supported NACS charging equipment; it does not change the vehicle's native inlet.

EPA consumption and distance estimates

The EPA label reports rounded outlet energy of 29 kWh/100 mi and includes charging losses. The calculator converts this figure to kWh/100 km for internal calculations and does not apply efficiency a second time.

The page represents the U.S. 2025 Kona Electric SEL with 17-inch wheels. The 261-mile range and rounded 29 kWh/100 mi label value are from EPA listing 48357. Hyundai gives a 64.8 kWh system capacity but does not assert it as usable; the same 64.8 kWh usable value is independently estimated by BEV Database and is marked as an estimate. No typical 10–80% DC average is supplied.

How this U.S. estimate works

1. Energy stored

Usable battery × (target charge − starting charge) ÷ 100.

2. Energy from grid

Energy stored ÷ charging efficiency estimates energy drawn from the grid for a session.

3. Charging cost

Grid energy × the selected price per kWh. Distance costs use the EPA plug-side consumption figure.

EPA energy consumption and range are market-specific rated figures. The range and consumption values belong to the reviewed trim and wheel configuration.
A 90% session efficiency is used for battery energy drawn from the grid. EPA plug-side consumption already represents electricity use and is not adjusted for charging losses a second time.
The state home price is a dated EIA residential-sector estimate. Public AC and DC starting rates are illustrative and may differ from operator tariffs.
Charging durations are not shown. An entered public AC time fee uses a rough estimate based on energy drawn and the vehicle’s rated onboard AC limit, not a station-specific charging speed. Public DC time fees are unavailable because verified average DC session power is not available; peak DC power is not a constant charging speed.
