It might be a consideration though. If there is a car on the scheme that only guarantees the battery for three years then I suppose Motability would take the shortest timeframe as the one to use to avoid paying for a new battery on any vehicle.
You really do have it in for EVs don’t you. There is now new car in the country that places a 3 year warranty on the high voltage components. The average manufacturer puts 8 years with the occasional longer warranty, all with high mileage allowances.
What has my comment got to do with my opinion on EV’s in the slightest? I have no idea what warranty any manufacturer puts on their batteries. I was giving an opinion on why Motability would want to put a timescale on leases based on how long warranties are. The previous poster said 3 – 8 years so I just took their example to say that it makes economic sense then to use the lowest warranty timeframe as a way to ensure they limit their maintenance costs.
Had this been a discussion about something on an ICE vehicle that involved a warranty I would have said exactly the same thing.
I don’t even know where you seem to think me pointing out an economic possibility means I ‘have it in for EVs’
Just to set the record straight for you so you don’t have to make suppositions in future I don’t ‘have it in’ for EV’s, in fact I think they are the best solution for some people under the right conditions. I just don’t feel the need to defend them under every eventuality because, newsflash, in some situations they are the worst solution.
This mentality that some people have that you’ve got to love either ICE or EV exclusively is both funny in its fanaticism and sad in its immaturity
