The 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric uses two electrical systems: a high-voltage traction battery for propulsion and a conventional 12‑volt battery for control modules, lighting, and vehicle accessories. While the EV pack drives the wheels, the auxiliary 12‑volt unit is the component most owners service periodically. It’s typically mounted under the hood in an accessible tray with covered terminals. If your Kona Electric shows intermittent accessory power or dash warnings, the 12‑volt battery may be at fault rather than the traction pack. Bring your 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric to Larry H.
