What kind of warranty is usually provided for EV batteries?

Typical EV battery warranty:

  • Standard coverage: Most automakers offer 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first).
  • Minimum capacity retention: Warranties usually guarantee at least 70% of the original capacity during the coverage period.
  • State-specific rules: In states like California, coverage may be extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles for certain vehicles.
  • Exclusions: Damage from misuse, accidents, or improper charging may not be covered.

Always check your manufacturer’s warranty terms — they can vary by brand and even by state.
