What is the lifespan of a Hyundai EV battery?
Typical Hyundai high‑voltage battery coverage in many markets is about 8–10 years and ~100,000 miles against excessive loss. Independent EV research suggests modern packs can last 12–15 years or more in moderate climates when used reasonably. Modern electric vehicles retain 80-90% of original battery capacity after 8-10 years or 100,000+ miles, with average degradation of just 2.
What happens to an EV after 8 years?
As EVs get older, the batteries progressively degrade. It is expected that at around 75% of the battery’s original capacity, it has reached the end of its life in an EV. In reality what this means is that if the car was sold with 400 km driving range, at the end of its useful life it could be down to around 300 km. Fortunately, modern EV battery packs should prove problem-free for nearly the first decade of use—possibly even longer. By the time today’s EVs will need a replacement battery pack, it’s likely the manufacturing and material costs will be far less than they are today.
