What Does the Lifetime Warranty for New Energy Vehicle Batteries Mean?
1 Answers
Lifetime warranty for the battery means that the battery cells of the vehicle can enjoy lifetime warranty services, including labor costs. The power battery does not require special maintenance, only routine inspections during each service. Below are the relevant details: 1. Electric Vehicle Range: Currently, the majority of electric vehicles on the market have a range of over 360km, which is absolutely sufficient for daily household use, and may not even require charging once a week. The standard for determining the range under most domestic operating conditions is the EU's NEDC, which involves a short testing period, low speeds, and rapid gear changes, with almost no consideration for environmental impacts on consumption. 2. Lifetime Warranty Requirements: Even if the three prerequisites of "battery," "lifetime," and "free" are met, there are still many stringent requirements to fulfill, such as the vehicle itself not being allowed to change ownership, all maintenance and repairs must be completed at authorized 4S shops, and any single instance of maintenance or repair done outside will void the warranty. Additionally, if a serious accident occurs, the lifetime warranty rights will also be forfeited.
