In reply to the discussion: After Record Sales, Chevy Volt Production Will Resume One Week Early [View all]tinrobot
(10,848 posts)54. The Volt battery has an 8 year warranty.
If the battery has to be replaced in seven, then GM will be replacing a lot of batteries still under warranty. I'm guessing they made sure the batteries will last for the 8 year warranty period and beyond.
We also don't know the price of the replacement battery, so your number is pure speculation. How much that battery will cost in seven years is even more speculative.
