Battery4Life questions
What does Battery4Life cover?
It covers the high-voltage drive battery in your electric car. If the battery's state of health falls below 60% from normal use and charging, the plan pays the dealer cost of a replacement battery up to $10,000 per failure, plus up to $2,000 for installation labor. You pay a $250 deductible per claim. Total benefits can't exceed the car's J.D. Power retail value.
How long does Battery4Life last?
For as long as you own the car. There is no end date, and the contract sets no mileage limit. It ends when you sell the car, and it can't be transferred to the next owner.
How much does Battery4Life cost?
$2,799, paid once. There are no monthly payments. A $250 deductible applies to each claim.
Which electric cars qualify?
Fully electric cars, 2017 and newer, with a battery health report of 80% or more. The free remote battery check takes a few minutes with your Tesla account. If your battery is under 80%, we can still cover it: send the form and we match your car with another battery plan from our partners, with year and mile limits.
Can I buy Battery4Life if I didn't buy my car from Premium Autos?
Yes. You can order it here for an electric car you already own. If you are buying an EV from us, you can add it at checkout instead.
Is Battery4Life the same as the Tesla battery warranty?
No. Tesla's battery warranty comes from the manufacturer with the car and ends after 8 years or its mileage limit. Battery4Life is separate, optional coverage you buy. While the manufacturer's warranty still covers the battery, the manufacturer pays; Battery4Life keeps going after that, for as long as you own the car.
When does coverage start?
Coverage starts 60 days after the purchase date. You must register the contract within 90 days of purchase or it is void; we show you how when we email it.
Can I cancel Battery4Life?
If your car turns out not to be eligible, we refund the full amount. Once the contract is issued, it can't be cancelled or refunded.
How do I make a claim?
Call the plan administrator at 877-674-6123 before any repair. They approve the claim and arrange the battery replacement with us as the issuing dealer. The plan also includes towing up to $1,000 after a battery failure and a rental car at $50 a day for up to 10 days during an approved repair.
