What kind of warranty is usually provided for EV batteries?

Typical EV battery warranty:

  • Standard coverage: Most manufacturers offer 8 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km), whichever comes first.
  • Minimum capacity guarantee: Warranties usually ensure the battery retains at least 70% of its original capacity during the coverage period.
  • Conditions may vary: Coverage can differ depending on the brand, battery type, and usage (e.g. commercial vs. personal use).
  • Not all damage is covered: Degradation due to misuse, accidents, or non-standard charging may void warranty claims.

Always review the specific terms from the manufacturer to understand what’s covered and what’s not.
