Hyundai Kona

Hyundai Kona Electric, first generation, 2019 to 2023 A small crossover with a strong battery record, once you account for one recall. In the US, nearly 4,700 2019 and 2020 Kona Electrics were recalled because of cells made at an LG plant in Nanjing, China, and dealers were to replace the whole battery system. A car with that replacement done is, if anything, a better bet than an untouched one. Run the VIN, then ask a Hyundai dealer how much of the 10-year, 100,000-mile EV battery warranty remains. Hyundai's US warranty lists that battery cover for later owners as well as the first, unlike its 10-year powertrain warranty, which is for the original owner only, but confirm it for the specific car rather than assuming.
