Niro EV battery degradation and used range
EV batteries lose capacity slowly. At the average rate measured across 22,700 EVs (2.3% a year), a 2019 Niro EV rated for 385 km would have roughly 327 km of range today.
Niro EV used range by model year
| Model year | Rated when new | Age (years) | At 1.5%/yr | At 2.3%/yr | At 3.0%/yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 385 km | 7 | 346 km | 327 km | 311 km |
| 2020 | 385 km | 6 | 352 km | 335 km | 321 km |
| 2021 | 385 km | 5 | 357 km | 343 km | 331 km |
| 2022 | 385 km | 4 | 362 km | 351 km | 341 km |
| 2023 | 407 km | 3 | 389 km | 380 km | 371 km |
| 2024 | 407 km | 2 | 395 km | 388 km | 383 km |
| 2025 | 407 km | 1 | 401 km | 398 km | 395 km |
| 2026 | 407 km | 0 | 407 km | 407 km | 407 km |
The three columns reflect how the car was charged. Telematics firm Geotab found about 1.5% a year for EVs that rarely use DC fast chargers, 2.3% on average, and around 3% for EVs that fast-charge heavily at high power. Rated range is the longest version for each model year.
Checking a used Niro EV
Ask the seller for a battery health or state-of-health report from a dealer or a battery-testing service, and check whether the original battery warranty still applies. A full charge that shows a much lower range estimate than this table, in mild weather, is worth questioning.
