This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

You have to make sure to stick to the service intervals and that a used one had all services Döner in time, if you plan to buy one. A few hundred miles over the service and the guarantee will be void.

There shouldn't be much to service, no?

Well no, I just saw a video about a EV6 that is used as a taxi and has 300.000km on the clock. It had no issues, even still the first set of brakes. "Only" the ICCU was replaced and to get that in warranty, you have to make sure that all services were done in time, it your warranty is void.

The Ioniq 5 and 6 as well as the EV6 share the same platform. The pre facelift models have a weakness with the thermal design of the ICCU Kia/Hyundai have extended the warranty, but that applies only if you have all services done in time.
