Million Mile Battery advice

[2013cossj]

New MIC M3 SR+ with CATL LFP. This is a million mile battery.

59Kw/h

easily 250 mile range (at 235w/mile easily achieved by a single motor variant (my partner drives my M3P better than this!)

CATL LFP rated at 4000cycles:

1 million miles. Also safer and quicker charging.

Guess they did not 1. want to overshadow the roadrunner project 2. let the world know that the MIUSA M3s would not have this tech.

Thoughts ?

Are they going to warranty the Battery for one million miles? How many years will they extend the warranty for a million mile Battery?

Are they going to warranty the Battery for one million miles?

Of course not.

How many years will they extend the warranty for a million mile Battery?

I’d guess zero.

The issue with current battery technology isn't the cycle life. Based on cycle life alone, the current HV batteries should last easily 15 years. The issue is the calendar aging of the cells, resulting in failures.
Fix that, and back it up with a better warranty and I'll be impressed.
