Customers Announced
20,000 potential customers were able to join the list of speakers in the spring before the importer closes the list of other names. It is only recently – after approximately 7,000 customers have signed contracts – that the challenges at Hyundai Motors Norway have become visible to the public. To order the car today, one can not expect to get it before the last half of 2020!
This is an estimated waiting period of two years after the signing of the contract. It sparked reactions among the 2,473 members of the Facebook group "Hyundai KONA EV (Electric) Owners Group Norway".

– Earlier comments were impregnated optimistic, with the acceptance and understanding that we had to wait a long time for the car . However, due to the illegality of the delivery and the price of the car ordered, several were reported and thwarted, says Wessberg.
Facebook group members believe that the importer makes the same mistakes as when launching the Hyundai Ioniq electric vehicle. and dangerous delivery dates.
Ioniq was also elected the Year of the Year in 2017 – a competition also Kona EV is in the fight to win for 2019.
– Lots of comments are also about Considered as canceling the order while others are considering rather choosing a Kia Niro EV.
Kia Niro EV is the sister version of Kona EV of the Hyundai Group.
– Conservative Dates
Hyundai's tactics in Norway are to provide so long delivery time that cars will arrive sooner rather than later. In addition, the importer said to expect to be able to influence "positively" the production of electric cars sought.
– We think that it is going faster than expected, but that it will be careful and conservative. At the same time, nobody agrees with Hyundai's production plan for two years ahead, says Christian Stenbo
– Are you sure of the good news regarding the delivery date?
– We are quite confident. I do not see why we should not feel safe.
Bad start
However, cars arriving in August should have been delivered already this month. So, Hyundai Motors Norway does not know how many cars will actually get a car in 2018.
– We have not received a final preview, but are working on the details for the next delivery. We are experiencing delays now, says Stenbo
– Do you know how many cars you will receive next year, then?
– We also do not have the exact number for 2019. We have our estimates, and we are in a process where we are struggling to get more cars and faster deliveries.
– All customers with the queue number gave the expected date, according to our assumptions, says marketing director
However, those who have not yet received a queue number waiting and wishing to order Kona EV can not afford the electric car before the second half of 2020.
– We hope to reduce delivery times, even if there are new daily contracts . Then we have to say something based on the information we have today, says Christian Stenbo.
