There are no laws dictating EV battery warranties .
The 10 year / 150K mile warranty is for CARB emissions equipment. EPA is 8 year / 100K miles. However that warranty covers hybrids not EVs. A hybrid battery is considered part of the emission system.
Dieselgate warranties are completely different and were negotiated as part of the settlement. They vary depending on the vehicle and what they had to do to fix it. My 2014 2.0L TDI Sportwagen is 10 years / 120K miles. A 2015 2.0L TDI Sportwagen is 11 years / 162K miles.
