What should I check about battery warranty transfer when buying a used EV?
An advertisement says the battery is still under warranty. What would make that statement useful for the next owner?

The answer
Get the applicable terms
Confirm the actual warranty document, original start date, distance, transfer rules, exclusions and any regional restrictions with the manufacturer. Ask separately what capacity retention, if any, is covered and how it is assessed. A headline duration alone does not establish that this car or this owner qualifies.
