A battery warranty that lasts a lifetime.
Hyundai Assurance is renowned as America’s Best Warranty, so it should be no surprise that Kona Electric's lithium-ion polymer battery is covered by a Lifetime Electric Battery Warranty*- an industry exclusive.
Kona EV Lifetime Electric Battery Warranty
The Lifetime Electric Battery Warranty applies to all U.S. 2019 model-year Kona Electrics. The Lifetime Electric Battery Warranty ensures that if the lithium polymer battery fails, Hyundai will replace the battery and cover recycling costs for the old battery free of charge to the original owner. The Lifetime Electric Battery Warranty excludes coverage for vehicles placed in commercial use (e.g., taxi, route delivery, rental, etc.).

It would not be confused in the court of law. Lost capacity is a defect. The degradation baseline is well established by the industry already. Hyundai would replace the battery to avoid getting another scandal by any cost, besides they might just pass some portion of the cost to LG as they most likely have an agreement to back those warranty claims.SageBrush said:You are confusing degradation with defect ?
