Used Hyundai Ioniq battery range?

[SammyD]

I am curious about this. I read that for this used one, it gets 193 miles on a full charge but is this standard, or is this after it has been used?

From my understanding, the batteries have slight ware to them which can result in up to 15% less battery capacity when it comes to used ones.

There are ways to test the battery before buying a used EV. You can use a usb obd2 bluetooth dongle and run the evnotify app. Used EVs will always have less battery capacity but it is hard to know how much less.

From my understanding, most EV batteries lose 2 to 5% battery capacity per year when they are not used and up to 10% per year when they are used heavy.

I don't know how to know for certain but @Matty gave a suggestion I have read about on other forums.

I am fairly certain cars use the same batties as phones these days which is why they degrade, even when not being used. I am hoping this changes in the future. Engines last much longer than batteries.

Yeah, they use lithium-ion just like in phones. The ones in phones have improved a lot but they still face issues with them degrading over time.
