Always check the official Hyundai maintenance schedule before taking your car into service to avoid getting ripped off
I have a 2024 Kona EV. I took my car in for service at 35k miles and was recommended to change the coolant (receipt shows coolant exchange ev vehicle.)
Brought my car in today at around 40k miles and I was recommended a brake fluid replacement. I was kind of confused why my maintenance costs were so high since it was an EV, so I decided to look up the official maintenance schedule. Brake fluid change is not needed until 48k miles so I refused the service.
Then I looked up the recommended coolant change interval for the 2024 Kona EV. It wasn't needed until 120,000 miles! I was pissed so I called the other service center and I'll be talking with the service manager eventually. I spent $600 for no good reason. Hopefully they can give me a partial refund or at least some credit towards future maintenance but if not I'll leave a horrible review and then call Hyundai corporate to complain there.
When I asked to take off the brake fluid replacement today the guy I was talking to basically said "oh I see, you have the electric version!" so my thinking is they try to push for maintenance based on the model that needs the most. For example I believe the 2019-2023 Kona EV does require a coolant replacement at around 35k miles (I could be wrong, but Kona EV 2024 and up doesn't need it until 120,000k miles)
I suppose the service center could check fluids/car and then lie about something requiring an early change but that hasn't happened yet. I'm always pushed these things right as I walk in the door before they even look at the car.
