The purpose of the tests, which lasted three days, was to overcome the 1000 km mark. The test involved three Kona Electric vehicles with an all-electric powertrain. The races took place at the Lausitzring race track in northeastern Germany and took a total of about 35 hours.

It is reported that the vehicles participating in the tests were able to cover the distance of 1018.7, 1024.1, and 1026 km without recharging. Electricity consumption indicators were, respectively, 6.28, 6.25, and 6.24 kWh per 100 km of track. Each of the demonstrated results was a record for vehicles with a battery capacity of 64 kWh.

It is important to note that all test vehicles were fully factory-made and were not modified. They were fitted with standard 215 / 55R17 Nexen N Fera SU1 tires with low rolling resistance. The air conditioning and infotainment systems in each crossover remained off during the test — all power was used just to keep driving. At the same time, in accordance with the rules, the daytime running lights remained on all the time. The average speed was 29–31 km / h.

And yet it should be noted that in real life, such results will be unattainable. City streets will not allow driving in the same conditions as the Lausitzring.
