EV manufacturers give eight year warranties on batteries + drive trains because they basically break down so rarely that they can do so safely. 100K miles or eight years. Whichever comes first. EV batteries tend to survive the vehicle they are in and have second and third lives for e.g. grid storage before eventually being recycled.
