That's interesting, a typical 3 year old ICE comes with 6 month warranty with option to extend through an insurance arrangement so this looks quite a lot better.
I am now at the point where electric might well be on the list when next I have to buy a car. I have power in the garage, but only a standard ring main, is that adequate for charging over night typically??
My Model 3 battery warranty is 8 years or 100,000 miles of less than 70% original capacity. Tesla simply have no data on battery replacements as they are rare, they had one car that they had to replace but it had done over 250k miles and was a taxi with frequent Supercharging.
A 13 A ring main will be perfectly adequate, you will get roughly 10 miles of range for each hour it's plugged in. So basically, if you spend 12 hours at home each night you are good for 120 miles.
