How many miles do you drive a year?
Oh also, 180 miles range is down from 303 miles range. You're at 59% capacity.
I drive around 25-30k km a year.
I think you missed “at least” in my sentence. I’ve driven my car for over a year now, and 58kWh (80% of my original 72,6kWh) will give me AT LEAST 180 miles range.
A year later, and my SoH (state of health) is still 100%.
There are many drawbacks of driving an EV. Degradation of modern battery packs is not one of them.
False. It is intrinsic to the battery's chemistry that is degrades over time.
Less than 20% degradation over 8 years is not a huge problem imho.
Calendar degradation was a huge problem on earlier battery tech, and that myth seems to be lingering and still used as a argument against modern EVs.
Again it is intrinsic to the chemical properties of the battery that they will lose maximum charge ability over time. There is literally NOTHING you can do to stop its degradation, until they start using something other than lithium ion.
And according to Tesla it is 30% degradation over 8 years if you drive an average of 12,000 miles per year; more if you drive more than average. That changes a car that drives 303 miles on a charge to 212.1 miles on a full charge. After 8 years it begins dropping even faster, and again even faster if you drive a lot of miles in a year.
