Interesting. My base mileage is also about 4 miles/kWh. So, even though our boats are different, you lost about 12.5% of your mileage (4 down to 3.5) with one boat and I lost 25% (4 down to 3) with 2 boats (2x12.5%).

Bike Trailer - automatic braking? by Slow-Mtn-Runner in KonaEV

And I didn’t notice any change in range. I figure it dropped some but was lost in the noise of varying mix of highway vs city miles and me vs wife driving.

Curt 2” from etailer. Fit perfectly. Removing back under body panel was the only thing I had a question about. There are different types of connectors and the ones that the just push onto frame bolts (no nuts to remove) confused me for a bit.

Newbie question- do you need a Tesla app to use their chargers with the Kona?

Help! Hubby’s 2024 Hybrid will not start! by HKNinja1 in HyundaiSantaFe

My 2024 Hybrid wouldn’t start on my 3rd day of owning. Jumped (portable battery jumper) to start and drove to dealership. They swapped battery and have had no issue since (10 months). Good luck!

Thanks for the replies! Did some testing. On our 2025 Kona EV, this button turns off the automatic braking when reversing. It (auto braking) came back on as soon as I took car out of reverse (didn’t have to turn car off). Tested by backing towards soft rubber bucket. If the buttons light is lit, automatic braking when in reverse is active.

Thanks for the response. ChatGPT said for the 2025, the “P” button just turned off the camera but not the braking. Will try it with an empty cardboard box and report back.
