Less to worry about
No spark plugs to be replaced. No oil to be changed. No exhaust to repair. No vulnerable components such as a cam belt, clutch or gearbox.

Battery maintenance and warranties

All electric car batteries experience natural wear and tear. Because of this, Volkswagen provides customers with a warranty for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles from point of first registration (whichever comes first), to ensure your battery retains 70% of its original capacity. This warranty is available from new and can be passed on to future owners.
