Chevy Volt Sets Standard for EV Battery Warranty

Chevy Volt EV Battery Warranty Sets World Standard

The Volt: Chevy’s EV with a range extending APU (Auxiliary Power Unit), which will be available for purchase in just a few months and will come with a fully transferable eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty on its lithium battery.  That’s longer than any other powertrain warranty currently offered by most Japanese or American auto manufacturers, which is quite the vote in confidence in their new technology! This warranty alone should help many first time EV buyers rest a little easier at night, whether they are use to having their batteries frozen in Alaska or cooked in Arizona. GM executives shouldn’t be losing too much sleep either as the Volt has already completed over a million miles of testing, which makes it easier to have confidence in the new battery technology.
