Question 1

Can used EVs get coverage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many providers accept used vehicles. Eligibility depends on mileage and age. Some plans are designed for higher-mileage or older vehicles.

Question 2

What does EV battery warranty cover?

Accepted Answer

EV battery warranties typically cover defects in materials, workmanship, and severe capacity loss (usually below 70%—75%) for 8 years or 100,000+ miles.

Question 3

Is battery degradation included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, EV battery degradation is generally covered under manufacturer warranties, but usually only if the capacity falls below a specific threshold (typically 60%–70%) within a certain timeframe, such as 8 years or 100,000–150,000 miles. Normal, gradual degradation is generally not covered, only extreme, premature capacity loss.

Question 4

What does it usually cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary based on your vehicle and coverage level. Some plans start around $78 to $99 per month. Final pricing is usually provided after you request a quote.

Question 5

Can I transfer the plan later?

Accepted Answer

Many plans are transferable if you sell your vehicle. This can help make your car more attractive to buyers.

Question 6

How does the repair process work?

Accepted Answer

If your car breaks down, you take it to an approved repair shop. The provider reviews the issue and approves the repair if it’s covered. In many cases, payment goes directly to the shop.

Question 7

What does an EV warranty actually protect?

Accepted Answer

Most plans focus on major components like the battery system, electric motor, and key mechanical parts. Many also include added support like towing or roadside help. Coverage depends on the plan you choose.

Question 8

Does it include battery degradation?

Accepted Answer

Some providers include battery performance limits, but not all do. Coverage may apply only if the battery drops below a set capacity level. Always check the exact terms before signing up.

Question 9

Are EV warranties transferable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most EV manufacturer warranties, particularly the high-voltage battery and powertrain coverage, are transferable to subsequent owners for the remainder of the time or mileage limits.
