EVs in general have ridiculous warranty on range/battery capacity. Consider you have bought 250mile range EV. Most manufacturers will say that there's nothing wrong if your range degrades by up to 30%, down to 175mile range.

And there is no consumer visible guage for degradation either. The manufacturer uses their own, inaccessible, approach to validation. This could become a real problem in the future.

  Nissan Leafs do provide a gauge. Makes it really easy when buying used as the battery health meter is right on the speedometer dash and can’t be turned off.

There was no technical way for them to guarantee otherwise, at the time. This is quickly changing as we comment.
