Question 1

What battery warranty does a used Hyundai electric car have?

Accepted Answer

Hyundai covers the high-voltage battery for eight years or 100,000 miles, and the cover passes to later owners. Ask for a battery health check before buying.

Question 2

Was the Hyundai Kona Electric battery recalled?

Accepted Answer

Yes, early first-generation Kona Electrics were recalled from 2020 over a battery fire risk, and some had their battery replaced. A Hyundai dealer can confirm from the VIN that the recall work has been done.

Question 3

What should I check on a used Hyundai IONIQ 5?

Accepted Answer

Ask whether the recall and software work on the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) has been done, as a fault can stop the 12-volt battery charging. Test both home and rapid charging before buying.

Question 4

How much road tax does a used Hyundai electric car pay?

Accepted Answer

Since April 2025 electric cars pay vehicle tax like others: £200 a year for a car first registered from April 2017. A supplement applies in years two to six when the list price was high.
