Right off the bat, Kia offers a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty for its EV battery. That’s right in line with similar battery warranties from Tesla and GM’s electric vehicles. Kia typically offers long warranty periods on its models. As for the actual service life of the battery, Kia says: “An average electric car battery will last between 10 and 20 years before needing replacement.”
That’s quite a wide range, but it makes sense when you consider that every driver will not only drive in a differently, resulting in different battery performance, but different climates and temperatures can have a drastic impact on the overall health of any battery. In addition, the Kia EV6 itself has not been on the market long enough for varying longevity tests to produce enough actionable data. But if the lifespan of up to of 20 years is to be a reality, that would be a serious benefit to EV6 ownership. According to a U.S. Energy Information Administration study from 2017, the average U.S. household kept a car for an average of 10.5 years, meaning that a fair number of owners wouldn’t expect see the end of the EV6’s battery life anyhow.
