Warranties on electric cars are insane right now, I suspect specifically to counter some of that new owner anxiety. Chevy are putting a 100,000 mile/8 year warranty on the battery systems in the Bolt; Ford are putting a similar warranty on EV components in their electric/hybrid range. Tesla do 8 year unlimited mileage on battery and drive units. You shouldn't have to pay for a repair on the battery cooling system in a new EV.
- chiph 10y agoA buyer should check the warranty offered on replacement batteries. A coworker had the hybrid battery replaced on her car, and the car maker only offered their usual 12 month parts warranty on it, not the remaining time on the initial battery warranty.
- coredog64 10y agoThat is a legal requirement. Emissions equipment has a higher warranty than the power train. With an electric car, it is all "emissions equipment".
