The Hyundai Kona Electric is a fully electric SUV that in most regions is not officially rated for towing. Manufacturer data typically does not include a towing capacity. However, wiring kits are useful for accessories like bike racks with lights, extra sockets or powered devices.

Technical Details & Specifics

Available battery versions often include ~39-/40-kWh or 64-kWh. Performance and electrical capacity vary accordingly.
In some markets, figures like ~955 kg braked or ~255 kg unbraked are cited, but these are conditional and not universally official.
Components must be weatherproof and corrosion-resistant, especially for external fittings or frequent use.
Ensure compatibility with reversing camera, sensors, and other driver assistants; in some trims, activation or coding might be required.

7-pin vs. 13-pin – which option for Kona Electric?

A 7-pin wiring kit is sufficient for basic lighting and signalling: indicators, tail lights, brake lights. A 13-pin version adds features like continuous power feed, charging or accessory lines, and reverse trailer lighting – helpful for powered accessories or more complex use cases.

Installation & Practical Advice

Follow the installation instructions carefully – check connectors, fuse ratings, and where everything is mounted.
Protect cable routing from moisture, dirt and mechanical wear; mount sockets in weather-protected positions and seal connections.
Ensure solid ground connection to the vehicle chassis; do not overload the electrical system.
If your Kona Electric has camera, parking sensors, or similar systems, verify whether extra activation or coding is needed for full function.
