HV Battery Insurance UK?

[Gkwan]

The web site marketing info is misleading.
Are you looking at the Sept 25 terms doc?

https://assets-v2.porsche.com/gb/-/...Approved-Warranty-Terms-and-Conditions_092025

It is the terms and conditions doc which matters.
This has:
Vehicle systems/covered:
• Engine.
• Fuel/cooling system.
• Drivetrain/transmission.
• Suspension/steering.
• Braking system.
• Heating/air conditioning system
• Electrical system.
• High-voltage battery.
• Bodywork.

The only change to the list above published September 25 was the addition of the HV battery.

Note no other EV specific systems or components are explicitly included or excluded.
As an example a traction motor, which is more costly than a HV battery module replacement, is a Drivetrain component. Charging system components are part of the Electrical System.
And so on.
(My interpretation).

What constitutes normal wear and tear is subjectIve and can be challenged.

Exactly, as a family of lawyers, normal thinking matches their "*"
* In case of damage that cannot be attributed to age-related changes or normal wear and tear

Means if your battery looses a few % SoH per year : not taken under warranty
Red circle of death leaving your car dead in the street : under warranty.

Other than that : lawsuit, you're gonna win, and if you're stubborn enough Porsche will drop it and at worst "replace as a commercial gesture".

Pretty sure it will go this way.

Cost may be at issue but and EV is spectacularly less mechanically complicated than an IC engined car. The motor and transmission are much simpler and also run cool enough not to destroy their own lubricant, making mileage probably less of a reliable benchmark on deterioration.
A battery module will not be more difficult to service than a flat 6 twin turbo piston engine with 4 valves per cylinder and a PDK gearbox, just different, and as long as young mechanic businesses get into it just a different set of jobs to do.

I think the longevity of a Taycan may well be more limited than availability of controller electronic chips etc.
I have a pair of DSP loudspeakers which are already hardware incompatible with the latest firmware at 6 years old (though they still work fine with the old one).
