($15k in the ACT), Fringe Bene Tax exemptions, carbon credit trading for ICE cars (Google the scam),$18k to EV companies per import from tax bucks, $1000s govt rebates for buyers of EVs (e.g. $3500 for WA), etc. It is a security risk too, esp of Chinese EVs with war looming+more

@warrensbuffet2 I'm saying that the relative usefulness of warranties, like constitutions, is relative to the society using them. Also EVs batteries shouldn't have super long warranties when combined with 'tax payer pays subsidies', e.g. 5% tariff removed, interest free loans to purchase EVs,

I'm saying that warranties are useless if the product doesn't fail,& if it is impossible to 'cash in'/use it. It is alike Constitutional Law, if a Govt is virtuous, it is unnecessary to have Constitutional Protections, if tyrannical then the Constitutional Protections are useless

Batteries do not last that long, nor the mini engines in hybrid cars.But the mega rich like @simonahac (most famous for being the son of Australia's 1st billionaire) expects poor people to subsidise the rich's EVs,via tax payer dollars. Then more free money for 'Climate ChangeTM'

@VoteArjay What do you make of a 1,500,000km warranty

No. It is a two edged sword. People wouldn't need long warranties if the product was reliable v they could give a 100 year warranty and not have to fulfill them without it being rejected on spurious grounds. There are 10 year warranties for cars and for batteries in Australia.

That is just stupid. Petrol engines reliably last up to 300,000km and diesels up to 600,000kms (often going to 1000000 kms), but needed love and affection, regular and roughly timely oil changes, etc). We have bad manufacturing though, like 'swarf' throughout the engine.

I'm saying that based on the price of cars, and their unreliability, and car companies illegally denying warranties and the warranty terms and conditions voiding the warranties on spurious grounds (unfair contract), then 15 years and 300,000 km is warranted. For EVs, and ICE cars

@VoteArjay So you’re saying long warranties are good lol

Well, all cars really should have like 15 year 333333kM warranties , and govt crackdown on denial of warranties. Car build qualities are crap, whether EV, Petrol, Diesel, or gas. They are designed to fail after the tiny warranties, it's called 'planned obsolescence'.

Warranties has at least 3 distinct meaning in that context. Statutory Warranty, v Contractual Warranty, v Manufacturers Warranty. Man War's end when you don't service the vehicle on time to how the manufacturer sets it, they can grant it anyway (esp if bad publicity from it)

@VoteArjay Warranties are transferable

No they don't, e.g. buying at 2nd hand chattels auctions = you cannot even have the warranties of 'sale by description', 'fit for purpose', 'merchantable quality', etc. Also, having a warranty ≠ being able to cash it in (then another subsidy to the EV Company, paid by the poor)

@VoteArjay So you’re saying offer 0km 0 year warranties

Some do, some don't, have you ever tried making a warranty claim? Know anyone who has? Did you miss a service by 1km? Was it a day ending in 'day'? Did you use their brand of oil? Denied?

@VoteArjay So you’re saying the best cars in the world have the shortest warranty

@warrensbuffet2 No they don't, e.g. buying at 2nd hand chattels auctions = you cannot even have the warranties of 'sale by description', 'fit for purpose', 'merchantable quality', etc. Also, having a warranty ≠ being able to cash it in (then another subsidy to the EV Company, paid by the poor)

@VoteArjay All products have warranties

However, that includes 300000 km for 10 year Nissan Warranties. Or 7 Year unlimited km warranties for Kia.The longest EV Battery Warranty is 10 years 250,000km. The longest unlimited is 8 years, but Tax payers fund the 'warranties' through subsidies. The poor subsidising the rich
