Hyundai Motor UK has announced that KONA Electric is now eligible for the Government’s Electric Car Grant.

Every KONA Electric now qualifies1 for the Electric Car Grant Band 2, providing £1,500 off the on-the-road purchase price, encouraging more drivers to adopt zero‑emission motoring.

As well as providing retail customers with a £1,500 saving, customers choosing a KONA Electric via Motability will now see their advance payment reduce to £749.

KONA Electric has a significant presence in the fleet market, and the Electric Car Grant eligibility further enhances its fleet proposition with KONA Electric now available from £349 + VAT on a 6+35 month contract with 8k per annum2. The new position represents an improvement of £38 per month and positions the KONA Electric competitively against its competition, particularly when KONA Electric’s generous trim specifications, high efficiency and long-distance range are considered.

KONA Electric’s eligibility for the Electric Car Grant ensures that customers have access to a more level playing field when it comes to choosing electric mobility. A lower retail price, attractive fleet proposition and lower Motability advance payment ensures that KONA Electric’s mix of high specification, long-range abilities and affordability remains extremely attractive, regardless of how you choose to fund your vehicle.
