Kona Ultimate - only the charging speed lets it down?

Hyundai

Hi all,

Having a quick look around in a partially-just-curious and partial-might-buy kind of mindset. Having a look around at various things, and with some 0% deals around, a Kona Ultimate looks like it's still a decent buy? The spec offers quite a lot that the trims of the more obvious rivals (EV3/4 etc) can't offer at the same price. The biggest drawback appears to be its DC charging speed, often not even hitting its paltry peak of 100kW.

If we take my use case of very low mileage (5-6k/year), looking to get new or very nearly new, looking to keep for quite a few years, and a budget of around £35k depending on financing options, am I overlooking anything super obvious here? Specs must include things like HUD, uprated sound system etc.
