[EVDL] 120k mile EV battery law?
1 - 15 of 15 Posts
What a great way to keep intermediate technology off the market...and
you can claim you are doing it for the consumer!
Gee I wonder if the gas co's helped write that bill.

This may be why Honda sent me a letter extending my
Insight warranty to 150,000. OK with me I just got a
new 144v battery pack at 130,000 mi. I like GM's new
truck warranty "Lifetime" why not include Insurance,
registration, fuel/batteries even tires and brakes
when we buy a new car. It is then all financed over
the life of the vehicle and we know what the real
expense is for driving our own transportation versus
using public trans

Actually I think that they would consider the battery pack in an EV as
part of the emission control system, along with all of the rest of the
electrical drive train. They seem to have a pretty broad definition and
include EVERYTHING that is used to reduce a vehicles emissions.
Since EVs are classified as zero emission vehicles (i.e. the ultimate in
emission control) and the battery is crucial to an EVs operation, the
battery is therefor an essential part of vehicle's emission control system
(since the whole drive train is needed in order to operate at zero
emissions)
But that's just my guess.
Hmm, this might be part of the reason the auto makers are working so hard
to avoid building EVs.

I have had mine replaced twice. first at 70,000 and
then at 130,000 mi. both at no cost to me. I think
it is a good idea.
