    Backs up the confidence that EV manufacturers have with their warranties. I have a '22 Kia EV6 (pretty much the same car as Hyundai Ioniq 5) and their battery warranty is 10 years or 100k miles.

      My Toyota's battery warranty is 10 years, 150k miles.

      I'm about 2/3rds there, and Mr.Camry still purrs along powerfully, sipping gasolina.

    And even funnier, we're now seeing the EV battery aftermarket breathing a hell of a lot more life into some older vehicles.

    Wanna see a 2012 Leaf doing over 250+ miles on a charge? Absolutely amazing to see we have the aftermarket springing to life and giving us some quite phoenix-esque options to revive older yet still useful EVs.
