Battery and warranty
8 yrs / 150,000 km (covers the battery dropping below 70% health). The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2024 car has about 6 years left and a 2024 car about 6 years left. Ask for a battery health (state of health) report before you buy: how to check the battery, including independent tests from about $200. If it ever needs one: what a new battery costs.
