  • +1 on the Kona Electric.

    I have the MY2023 and it works perfectly as a dumb car but there are some creature comforts hidden behind a subscription. The BlueLink App which is around $7/month allows you to remotely see and control things from your phone such as:

    • Locking/unlocking the car from your phone no matter the distance
    • Getting notifications if you forgot to lock your car
    • Remote start the climate control
    • Diagnostics with codes so you don’t need an OBDII reader

    Again, it’s a perfectly good dumb EV without those but they are trying the subscription model for luxury features. Hyundai, at least, gave me a 3 year free trail.
