Non Porsche Extended Warranty

[oliverstorrie]

Hi All

Looking to extend the current warranty on my car. The porsche warranty ran out 2 weeks ago and they want to do a health check etc before they will l tme renew, so i thought i would look around at any 3rd party extended warranties. Any advice on here or best companies to use. A lot seem generic as they mention gear box petrol filter cover etc- so not specific to an EV.

Cheers

Oliver

We had the same issue, 111 check is £400, we live in the Channel Islands so Porsche can’t / won’t extend warranty as car not registered in UK.

We took out a 3 year warranty with WarrantyWise who do an EV specific product, but make sure you call them as they can offer a decent rate if you take out a 3 year - usual exclusions apply.

I wouldn’t bother going away from Porsche, most will only warranty major components which doesn’t really fit with an EV. The Porsche warranty covers everything you would get as if new. I have just extended for another 3 years and in first month the car is already in for water ingress in the tailgate. You can imagine the pain trying to get authority for work to be carried out by a third party insurance.

Porsche warranty all the way, especially on a Taycan. If you'd extended _before_ it expired you wouldn't need to go through the health check (but hindsight's a wonderful thing!).

Yeah it's annoying as i have just had a full vehicle health check and a recall for the heat exchange module, all carried out and fixed. So just seems like an additional way to get £400... I saw warranty wise will check them out- Also have found an EV specialist warranty so it covers everything , including wear and tear ( not tyres, pads or discs) for £50 a month with a max repair bill of £5000

...with a max repair bill of £5000

now it's my turn to go "ha ha"

That won't cover a heater or on board charger.....let alone motors or inverters

 

[Gra13]

Be careful , I did check them out, they have limits on labour rates and they don’t cover all claims, for instance mine has just gone in for water ingress in the tailgate that has caused the boot lock to fail, this would not be covered.

WarrantyWise seems to

our schedule quotes the following, but we went for EV plus..

• All mechanical and electrical parts of your EV — including critical components such as:
  • Drive battery
  • Auxiliary battery
  • Onboard charger
  • AC power inverter & DC-DC converter
  • Traction motor
  • EV electrical systems & key fob

Out of context, the reference was to the maximum payable coverage of £5000.

Just for one single failure- i double checked this and given the labour rates of the approved repairers this would cover the front or rear motor replacement and the heat exchange - EV battery is still cover by porsche

I don't know what you checked.
Here are the parts only costs without labor.

Front motor + inverter (exchange part):
€8,389.21 + VAT.
Rear assembly (exchange part):
€13,781.68 + VAT.

Front inverter only:
€2,173.84 + VAT.

Rear inverter only:
€3,161.96 + VAT.

Your policy would maybe cover the front inverter replacement + labor.
Everything else is significantly more expensive. On the rear you're going to pay many thousands in labor cost on top of the part, as the battery has to be dropped out of the car together with the rear axle - it's probably going to cost close to 10k altogether.

And motor replacement, forget it, it's not even going to cover half. 5k max policity is pretty worthless on these cars. I mean it's better than nothing, but it doesn't cover the majority of the big jobs.

You can not source any of these parts NEW cheaper elsewhere. The difference is going to be max 10%.
The prices are directly from Partslink.
