Smart move! Those battery repairs can be a nightmare if they do occur.

Honestly, I think it’s overpriced. My Bolt has been trouble-free so far, and I regret buying the warranty.

Exactly! My driving is mainly city; I wonder if that changes the equation.

26

I’m on the fence about getting it. If something major breaks, the cost might outweigh just paying for repairs as needed.

27

That’s true, but don’t forget involves the potential costs of part replacements in EVs can be high! Sometimes it’s worth the extra expense.
