Short answer? Yes. And you probably should.
Whether you’ve just bought a used EV or have been driving one for years, the biggest concern
many drivers face is battery failure — especially after the factory warranty runs out.
But good news: battery protection isn’t something you have to buy at the dealership. In fact, the smartest time to get it is often after your purchase.
Here’s what to know.

1. Why EV Battery Protection Matters More Over Time
Most EVs come with an 8-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty. But if you’ve bought used, that coverage may be:
● Partially used up
● Non-transferable
● Limited to complete failure only (not degradation)
As your EV ages, battery repairs become your responsibility — and they’re not cheap.
That’s when coverage really counts.
2. What If I Already Bought My Car?
You’re not too late.
Unlike traditional dealer-based F&I products, Battery4Life was designed for the modern EV driver — especially those who buy used, shop online, and want to take control of their protection plan after the sale.
3. What Does Battery4Life Cover?
Battery4Life offers lifetime coverage for your EV or hybrid battery — even if it’s used or out
of warranty.
● ✅ Available after purchase
● ✅ Works with used and high-mileage vehicles
● ✅ One-time or monthly payments
● ✅ Flat $250 deductible
● ✅ Backed by A+ rated Old Republic
And yes — it can all be done online, in just minutes.
4. Do I Need a Battery Inspection First?
Only if your vehicle is:
● Over 6 years old, or
● Has more than 75,000 miles
In that case, we’ll help you get a free battery health report through our RepairWise™ program before activation.
5. Why This Coverage Is Worth It
Let’s say your battery fails in 2 years. A replacement could cost $10K–$20K, depending on your model — and it’s not always covered by your factory plan.
With Battery4Life™, that cost is protected — and your peace of mind is, too.
