Database / Best EVs / EV battery warranties
Federal law requires 8 years / 100,000 miles of battery coverage — but brands diverge wildly from there, and the fine print (capacity guarantees, hybrid vs BEV terms) matters more than the headline. All 43 brands, ranked. Updated October 2026.

Toyota and Lexus advertise 10yr/150,000 mi — but that’s the hybrid battery schedule; their BEVs carry 8yr/100,000 mi.
Ferrari’s 16-year figure is a two-stage PHEV extended plan, not a standard BEV warranty.
Rolls-Royce’s 15-year figure comes from executive statements, not a published US warranty booklet.
A capacity guarantee (e.g. 70%) means the brand must repair or replace the pack if it degrades below that — brands without one only cover total failure.
Federal law: 8 years or 100,000 miles. Every EV sold in the US carries at least this.
By headline years, Ferrari’s 16-year PHEV extended plan — but among mainstream BEVs, Toyota and Lexus lead at 10yr/150,000 mi on hybrids (8yr/100k on their BEVs).
If your battery degrades below the stated percentage (often 70%) within the warranty, the brand must repair or replace it. Without one, only complete failure is covered.
