Mine on my previous car, a 2016 elantra lasted 8 years with huge winter temp drops up to -45 celcius
They battery they install is pretty good, other people around here need to change it after 5 years
Pros: battery pretty good
Cons: change after 5 years
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I have a 2015 Tucson, 130km on it and only needed to replace the battery on it once at the end of its life. It’s such a strong car! I love it.
Pros: strong car, love it
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
Mileage: 130 km
BMW here. No issues.
Pros: No issues

Tried them all at some point and whatever BMW OE does to those they last 2-3X longer. I literally just replaced a 14 year old battery last September….fuckin insane longevity with the OEM ones.
Pros: long lifespan, excellent durability

BMW

Pros: brilliant battery management

I’ve had a Hyundai Kona EV for 6 years now. I live in Kelowna BC where we get cold winters (-20C) and warm summers (+40C).
My Kona gets about 375-425 km range in dead of winter. It gets 475-525km range in summer. These values are the same now as they were 6 years ago when I bought it
It has a 64KwH battery. I have a level 2 charger in my garage (I put a 30amp dryer plug in the wall) my charger is programmed to charge over night 12am - 6am. That’s when I pay the least for power. Between $.09 - $.15 KwH
I drive around 100km each day or maybe 12-15KwH. Cost me between $1.08 - $2.25 each day to charge it. Max per month is around $70.00
If it was gas it would cost me about $250 -$300/month. I figure I’ve saved, over the last 6 years a minimum of $13,000.00 on fuel costs.
Don’t forget no oil changes, no break jobs (still
Original brakes in mint condition, regenerative brake system)
Pros: regenerative brake system, fuel costs savings

Hyundai
I’ve had my iX for 2.5 years and have logged 122k miles. I haven’t noticed any degradation in battery capacity. Just the normal summer/winter fluctuations (live in Midwest).
Pros: no battery degradation
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 196339 km
BMW i3… loved that little toaster but 80 mile range wasn’t cutting it anymore. I still enjoyed running errands and zipping through parking lots.
Pros: loved the car
Cons: limited range
Vehicle:
BMW
My I6 battery died after 4mo and 2200km (1370mi). Car is sitting at the dealership awaiting warranty decision.
Cons: battery died quickly
Mileage: 2200 km
I went to an official dealership and they told me the battery is faulty, and replacing it would cost around 185 euro, labor included. I checked online and it seemed like in the Netherlands a comparable battery costs between 85 and 120 euro.
Cons: expensive, high labor cost
Vehicle:
Hyundai
