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
I am on my second one in two years, their battery management is brilliant. I'm the summer I get well over 300 miles in my my Kona
Pros: brilliant battery management
Vehicle:
Hyundai
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

my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has 71k+ miles and coming up on 3 years of ownership. I plug in when, where, how I want. ONE thousand charging sessions. It has ZERO range loss.....300 miles per charge still. I have no battery degradatiion. State of Health = 100%.
Pros: zero range loss, no battery degradation, 100% SOH
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mileage: 114263 km
This just happened to me last month on my 2017 C43 on the OEM battery. I guess five years is typical on these newer MB.
Pros: five years typical
I can say from my experience if it drops below -20C a level one will only really keep the battery from losing power.
Pros: keep battery from losing power
Cons: only keep battery warm
Vehicle:
Hyundai
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
I’ve had it 3.5 years and it just started doing the “Stop Vehicle Leave Engine Running” thing about a month ago.
Cons: battery warning started
Exactly the same issue I am currently facing with a month old GLC300. No resolution yet
Cons: same issue, no resolution
I had the same problem. My car was brand new too but was sitting for a bit before it was sold to me. I brought it in to get charged a few times but the message was still coming up and I was definitely driving it enough. Eventually they just changed the battery under warranty.
Cons: problem persisted, battery replaced under warranty
Vehicle:
Mercedes
