Warranty
The warranty offered by EV manufacturers for their batteries can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific model of the vehicle.
EV batteries typically come with a warranty that covers a certain number of years or miles driven, whichever comes first.
Some EV manufacturers offer a warranty that guarantees a minimum level of battery capacity for a specified period. For example, a manufacturer might guarantee that the battery will maintain at least 70% of its original capacity for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The warranty may also consider the age of the battery. For instance, a manufacturer might cover defects in materials or workmanship for the first 3 years and then cover the battery against a drop in capacity below a certain level for an additional 5 years.
| Manufacturer | Driving Distance | Minimum Remaining Capacity | Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla | 120,000 miles | 70% | 8 years |
| Audi | 100,000 miles | 70% | 8 years |
| Chevrolet | 100,000 miles | 60% | 8 years |
| Ford | 100,000 miles | N/A | 8 years |
| Nissan | 100,000 miles | 75% | 8 years |
| Hyundai | Unlimited | 70% | 10 years |
| Kia | Unlimited | 70% | 10 years |
| Toyota | 600,000 miles | 70% | 10 years |
| Mercedes (EQA, EQB, EQC) | 100,000 miles | N/A | 8 years |
It's important to note that the specific terms of the warranty can vary widely between manufacturers, so it's always a good idea to carefully review the warranty information before purchasing an EV.
