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
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:

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
Vehicle:
Hyundai
My battery conked out at the normal time after 6 years. But it still didn’t give me any warning that it was dying. 2019 Mazda 3 here
Pros: lasted 6 years
Cons: no warning before dying
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
The only time I had issues with my battery was the original one when it was on its death bed. But I remember needing to clean the posts a few times and it would start right up. Never was left with a check engine light but when it acted up it would do weird things here and there.
Cons: issues when dying, acted up, did weird things
Vehicle:
Mazda

Cons: short lifespan, 3rd battery in 4 years
Vehicle:

Mazdas OEM batteries are horrible. Had the one that came with the car be weak so Mazda replaced it under warranty. Not even 5 months later that new battery dies, tried jumping and it was completely dead and a jump could not start it.
Cons: horrible quality, weak, dies quickly, completely dead
Vehicle:
Mazda

Cons: weak battery, low voltage after sitting
