Sheet: Reviews about Charge

keyword |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | good_points | bad_points
battery |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Great for the city, gets me everywhere, easy parking, no charge for central London. Quick Charing | No windows for winter so had to get third party ones
cable |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | The charging malfunction light flashes on a regular basis, and has done so since the first day we took delivery of the car. So far no solution is apparent, and this is rather worrying in an electric and highly electronic car. The dealer is continuing to look into this problem, but unless this is resolved, I will not be comfortable keeping the car ,and certainly could not recommend it to others
chare |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Surprising amount of space for a smaller vehicle.  We have 2 rear facing car seats in the back seats and there is still plenty of space in both front seats.  Fuel economy is fantastic, have driven it 1500 km’s so far and still have a 1/4 tank of gas left.  Level 1 charging time is not bad, takes about 6 hours to fully charge, we plug it in at night and by the morning it’s ready to go. | No one at the dealership really knew how the PHEV system worked.  Would have been nice to know that the car uses the gas engine to run the climate controls (heat and A/C) even when the car is in electric mode.  Not a deal breaker but would have been nice to know up front.  Would also be nice if the EV only range was closer to 60km (currently gets 40-50 km’s).  If the car used the battery for heat in EV mode and had a slightly longer range we would almost never need to use gas but would always have the gas engine just in case you forgot to charge it or if you wanted to go on a longer road trip.  Only other thing that  would be nice is if it had AWD, it’s marketed as a crossover and most other crossovers offer AWD as an option.
charge |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | - Quiet and smooth ride - PIEV has stronger electric motor so it has better accelleration - Sport mode delivers performance appropriate to a vehicle that's #1 objective is fuel economy and lowered emissions - Easy to plug in and charge - Nimble handling and turning radius is small | - PIEV version has a 12V battery but that's probably unavoidable - Could have adjustable suspension height for snowy conditions and highway cruising - Passenger seat isn't bad by any means but it could be powered - Apple Car Play and Android Auto would benefit from being Bluetooth rather than plug in only
charger |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | The quiet driving, no fuel used on my local journeys, Large luggage space, super sound system, heated steering wheel & seats, easy to keep nice and clean  Just all round ideal for me.  Easy charging. | Using the air conditioning/ heater cuts down on the mileage obtained from the battery.
charging |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Very comfy seats.  Built-in nav system.  [NAME] on how efficiently the EV is running.  Ability to set time for recharging, and level of recharge.  Never having to go to a gas station - no pollution from my vehicle!  Being able to "fuel-up" at home. | Please provide an accessory hitch for the Kona EV to carry a bike rack (not everyone can use a roof rack).  They have such a hitch for the Chevy Bolt.  Could use more leg room for backseat passengers.  In the monthly reports I'd love to see how much money I saved not buying gas, or how many litres of gas I didn't burn because the car is electric.
fast |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Great to drive Very comfortable Good space fo passengers Good boot space | Electric Charge for only 35kms
lightning |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Hybrid Sound system [NAME] roof | Volvo app  Unpredictable charge times Repeated notifications
power |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | I am disappointed with the hybrid as when I do an overnight charge it goes to 35 on the battery which will get you only 20 km driving between 50 & 60 so basically it is a waste of time.
rapid |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Good looking, easy to drive and charge | Firm ride
rate |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Being able to plug it in & recharge it | Battery mileage lower than specified
slow |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | I purchased the recharge model. For my commute the range of the battery is ideal. I am delighted with the overall fuel economy on longer journeys. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive.  Haven’t stopped smiling since picking it up!! | To be absolutely honest, I’m struggling to find any.......maybe some dashboard indication the charge port flap is open once I drive off!!
wire |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | inside the door for the charging cable fills with water if it is raining when charging.  needs a way for that water to run off.
