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.
