For some reason a lot of people confuse battery warranty with battery lifetime. |
If the battery needs to be replaced often, I do see the warranty as being a battery life indicator. If it doesn't, like with a typical engine, it doesn't really matter.
I'm sure that someone will chime in and say they can get by with an EV with a 30 mile range and make that out-of-warranty battery last for years to come. But then there are those of us that kind of need that +200 miles of range.
