In 2026 it goes to 15yr/150K under the proposed rules.
Nice thing about EV motors as they don't wear much at all. I haven't heard any stories about motor replacement in any EV.
Good news since battery packs cost more than engines in ICE cars.
It's criminal what Tesla wants to charge for replacement batteries in the Model S and they want to yours as a core.
Been seeing stories of broken coolant nipples and they want $20K

Yes repair costs of EV(e.g. Tesla) can be exuberant, hence my strategy is to pick my 2021 330i aka German Accord, and to sidestep the ever changing EV tech and landscape for another 10 years.
Yeah the alphabet soup is fascinating:
PZEV (partial zero emission vehicle) expires 2017. Coverage is 15 years/150000 miles on ICE components.
AT-PZEV(advantage technology PZEV) starts 2018, and requires at least 10 miles of EV range to qualify. Coverage is 15 years/150000 miles on ICE components, and 10 years/150000 miles on battery.
TZEV(transitionary ZEV) is another name of AT-PZEV.
And plug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV) qualifies as AT-PZEV.
