I have been looking at the economics of EV ownership. I've narrowed it down to the Bolt or the Volt. My typical drive is about 50-60 miles a day. At that rate, a 100,000/8 year warranty expires in 5 1/2 years if I purchase new. The thing I can't get a good answer on is the out of warranty replacement of batteries. That has to be figured into the cost of ownership. Does anyone know?
 
Powertrain has an 8 year/120k mile warranty. Unless you plan on driving a lot I wouldn't worry that much.

Once out of warranty you are better off taking the batte

ry pack apart and replacing the defective modules (usually the electronics or a couple of modules go bad).

Each pack has ~16 modules and you can find used ones (in good to great condition) for around $1200 per module.
