Battery OEM Nissan or OEM KIA

Jumped a cascadia '21 with my 2014 Kia Sorento

The battery in my EV6 lasts longer than my wife’s bladder can hold on a road trip and the speed of charging means that by the time we’ve headed into the services, toilet, maybe grab a coffee and we’re back at >80% basically every time. In good conditions we get 300 miles to a full battery, worst I’ve had is 260 and that’s with AC, heated seats, not driving like a granny etc.

the battery is in great condition.

Papa hat den eNiro von 2020 mit 64kwh Akku. Der hat laut OBD noch 96%soh nach 100.000km.

The only issue I’ve had with this car is the battery, they usually die in about 3years, but they are AGM batteries and they usually die within that Timeframe in Phoenix,AZ Anyway because of the Heat.

My husband\u2019s used Kia EV 6 \u201822 had a 12volt die. Bought a new one under $200 and used a YouTube video to replace.

the cars are decent, the customer service at the dealers, hit or miss.

the Vancouver (Coquitlam) dealership i bought my Kia from knew jack squat about my car - I basically just needed them to sell me a car, that I knew more about at the time of sale than they did.

went to a different one, and got a much better experience, they were willing to sit down and talk to you about what the problems were, what options were, etc. So in short, the early EVs (like the one I drive) were kinda iffy depending on your experience, could be great could be terrible, but the classic ioniq is one I would hands down trade in for. The extra cobalt inside the cells means the degradation happens less, it doesn't overheat as quickly, charges reasonably fast, and more efficient than tesla :p

Bought a 2025 Rogue Platinum less than 2 weeks ago. So far, on day 4 the car was completely dead in my driveway. Needed the battery replaced.

Mine died at about 44k. Good news is Kia is fully covering the replacement and the mileage warranty restarts with the new battery

I got a battery from Nissan under warranty. It has a 7 year 84K warranty if I recall. That battery less than 6 months later gave a fault and they replaced it again. '22 SV
