The Volt battery has an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty.
And I have been fortunate to have had a company ride for many years and we give the wife’s car to the kids long before eight years.
No need to worry about Volt batteries.
In fact, the Chevy people revel in their fine battery!
Many Chevy dealers advertise them on the internet and third party refurb also available because they are stuck with them.
Automotive News World Congress, Mary Barra referenced the more than 200,000 electric vehicles General Motors has sold. She stated that General Motors has yet to replace a battery pack. The intent behind Mary’s original statement was in reference to the wear out of a battery due to regular use. Upon further review, an estimated less than 0.01% of customer battery packs or sections have been replaced due to suspected wear out. Additionally, we have replaced battery packs or sections due to defects.
Gee my last car went 20 years and 270,000 miles. And it still ran like a top except that the body rotted out.
If for some reason the engine had died then I could have picked up a good used engine for a few hundred dollars.
I am still waiting for the price on a complete battery pack for the Chevy Volt?
Oh never mind. I see your link. $1,700+
