Battery Warranty on Electric Cars

All EV manufacturers offer warranties on their electric car batteries. However, EV battery warranty coverage can differ considerably.

Some manufacturers offer warranties that only cover your battery in the event of complete battery failure. This means that your fees are only covered if the battery is completely broken. If the battery is either simply operating at a low capacity or only slightly compromised, you will still be liable to pay for repairs or replacements.

Kia, offer a battery warranty that operates on a specified performance threshold. If the car battery capacity or performance drops below this threshold, the warranty will cover the necessary repairs or replacements.

For Kia’s standard 8-year battery warranty, the threshold is 70%. Therefore, Kia will cover any repairs or replacements if your electric car battery drops below 70% capacity within 8 years from the date of purchase. Our car warranty is also transferrable, so you can benefit from a higher resale value when it comes to selling your Kia.

The best EV warranty packages are those that include comprehensive coverage of your EV battery, rather than just in the instance of complete failure. Such as the electric battery cover provided by Kia. Securing this kind of EV warranty will ensure that you don’t have to live with suboptimal performance and efficiency caused by a largely faulty battery – or fund the repairs for it out of your own pocket.
