Chevrolet Volt Coverage
Propulsion Battery Warranty
Policy
Like all batteries, the amount
of energy that the high voltage
“propulsion” battery can store will
decrease with time and miles
driven. Depending on use, the
battery may degrade as little
as 10% to as much as 30% of
capacity over the warranty period.
A dealer service technician will
determine if the battery energy
capacity (kWh storage) is within
the proper limit, given the age and
mileage of the vehicle. Typical tests
can take up to 24 hours.
Repair
If possible, components will be
repaired or replaced, and the
original battery will be returned to
the vehicle.
