What a used buyer should know
The term nearly doubles depending on model year, which matters more than any percentage. A 2013 or 2015 car had sixty months and sixty thousand miles. A 2019 or 2021 car has ninety six months and a hundred thousand. There are also conditions. The 2013 and 2017 booklets require an annual battery usage report.
What a repair restores
A repair restores the pack to nine bars or more, and the booklet says plainly it may not return the battery to an as new condition with all twelve bars.
Transfer to a second owner
Yes. Provided to the original and subsequent owners, and generally automatic. It is void only where ownership transfers in the first six months and the car is registered outside the United States.
Buying a Used EV or Hybrid?
Get the battery measured before you pay for it. A PPI Auto inspector tests the pack on the car you are looking at and sends you the numbers. Starting at $225.
