What Many New EV Owners Don’t Know About Warranties

Hey there, new electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid owners! ⚡ As you cruise the streets with your eco-friendly ride, let’s dive into a topic you might not have on your radar yet—warranties! Many assume that their warranties are tied directly to the manufacturer, but there’s more to it. Knowing the difference between types of coverage can save you confusion—and possibly some cash down the line!

Manufacturer’s Warranty vs. Extended Warranty: What’s the Difference?

First, let’s clear up what a manufacturer’s warranty is. This coverage is automatic when you purchase your EV or hybrid, and it typically covers issues related to manufacturing defects for a set number of years or kilometers (like 3 years or 60,000 km). It's designed to handle problems from faulty materials or workmanship.

On the other hand, an extended warranty is an optional product that you can buy to cover repairs after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. These are often from third-party companies and can cover areas not included in the manufacturer’s warranty. The best part? Many extended warranties are honored at independent repair shops like EV LAB Victoria, so you don’t have to rely on the dealership for maintenance and repairs!
