Five quick details and we call you back with a number.
The ICCU problem on newer models
The Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, EV6, EV9 and Genesis GV60 share a platform that uses an integrated charging control unit, or ICCU. Besides handling charging, it keeps the 12-volt battery topped up. When it fails, owners usually see a 12-volt or power warning, the car loses power or won't start, and it stops charging.
Hyundai and Kia have issued recalls covering the ICCU on these models. If yours hasn't had the work done, ask a dealer, because a repaired car is worth more whether you keep it or sell it. If you're done with the car, we'll buy it either way.
Early Kona Electrics
2019 and 2020 Kona Electrics were part of a battery recall, and many got completely new packs. A Kona with a replacement pack is worth more, so check your records before you call.
Underbody hits
A widely reported Vancouver case saw a nearly new Ioniq 5 written off by ICBC after road debris damaged the battery, because a new pack cost more than the car was worth. It isn't unusual. If yours took a hit underneath, our damaged EV page and repair, claim or sell guide explain the options.

Questions about Hyundai and Kia EVs
My Ioniq 5 lost power and shows a 12-volt warning. Is it the ICCU?
It's a common cause, so have a dealer check it. The repair may be covered by the recall or warranty. If you'd rather sell the car as is, we'll still buy it.
Do you buy Hyundai and Kia hybrids and plug-ins too?
Yes. The Ioniq Hybrid, Ioniq Plug-in, Niro Hybrid and Niro PHEV are all welcome.
My Soul EV only gets a short range now. Is it worth selling?
If the range no longer fits your driving, yes. First-generation Soul EVs have small packs by today's standards, but they still have value for parts and modules.
