This warranty can be registered at www.lightningemotors.com/register. Registration is not required for coverage but will help Lightning track important information related to your System and warranty.

What is Covered: This warranty covers the following “Powertrain” components: control system and control software, lithium-ion high-voltage battery packs, (collectively referred to as the “Battery”); electric drive module assembly (includes electric motor and gearbox); transmission range sensor; charge cord; and associated brackets and supports. This warranty also covers workmanship provided in the scope of any customization and/or development efforts. For warranty claims associated with non-Lightning components of a complete vehicle sold by Lightning, subject to the disclaimer herein, Lightning will be responsible for processing these claims through standard OEM dealerships to the extent covered by the applicable OEM dealership.

Who is Covered: This warranty is extended to the original purchaser (“Customer”) of the System and may not be assigned to any other party.

How Long Coverage Lasts: The vehicle warranty lasts for the first sixty (60) months or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, after delivery to customer. In the case of the Lighting Mobile product, the warranty shall last for 60 months or 3,000 charging cycles. Products (whether new, used or remanufactured) installed as replacements under this warranty are warranted only for the remainder of the original period of time or mileage under the original warranty. Any warranty coverage provided on a pass- through basis by Lightning will be subject to the terms and conditions with the applicable OEM dealer.

What Lightning Will Do: Lightning and/or its authorized service provider (“Distributor”), at Lightning’s sole discretion, shall repair or replace (at Lightning’s option and expense) any component found by Lightning to be defective due to flaws in materials or workmanship.

Maintenance items may include coolant fluid changes, motor lubrication, and transmission fluid changes.
  2. An examination by Lightning or its service center must determine that the alleged defect actually exists and occurred in the course of proper and normal use of the System.
