Experienced after buying

I bought this electric car 2 months back, driven 9900 kms until now. It runs 250 kms around with a single charge comfortably with AC on. Then u have to charge for complete peace of mind. Price high but u get 40% depreciation in your ITR for consecutive 4 years which means u haven't paid anything except for insurance and RTO. please make this car with two sets of battery, one for 250 kms and other for 125 kms, and alternatively, they should get charged by the regenerative power energy source and kinetic energy too thus KONA will go beyond 1000 kms. Very smooth, silent ride. Cruise control and hill assist presently. 2 negative points. Rear seats not having any fan facility and rear shockers are not too good.

Great engine

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong> Looks good, muscular good overall visibility.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> Good seats,poor audio, no usb port for audio,no reverse parking sensor(can be a pain in city)terribly expensive parts with sixty day waiting, ie an alloy spare wheel for the spare wheel costs thirty five thousand rs, cheaper to buy four spare alloy wheel from after market. Front head lamps in non xenon model is inadequate, fogging of windshield is common during rain even with the heater on in kerala rains.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Great engine,gear box suspension and no body roll .good mileage at hundred km to six and half liters of reliance diesel.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> Good ride no roll,good accelaration,good brakes, bridgestone tyres have a good mileage {done twenty five thousand km and still should go another twenty.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words </strong>Avoid buying&nbsp; tghe car, spare parts not available,have to come fron japan sixty min days according to dealer evm nissan kochi,frightfully expenve parts.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Great enginepoor audio,no reverse parking sensors, terribly expensive parts
