Should the regulation come into force, car manufacturers would be obliged to guarantee at least 80 percent residual capacity for batteries after 5 years or 100,000 kilometers and at least 70 percent after 160,000 kilometers or 8 years. The latter corresponds to the warranty offered by most manufacturers from Peugeot to Volkswagen, with a few exceptions. With the Tesla models Y and S, it is 240,000 km, Mercedes offers 70% for the EQS after 10 years or 250,000 km, Lexus for the UX300e ten years or one million kilometers. Kia, for example, is limited to seven years / 150,000 kilometers.
