Yup, I'm at 76% of the original capacity, and that makes a huge difference running heat or doing highway miles.
Out of warranty, to get a new battery, you don't get to keep the core, is $5,500. That warranty runs out at 60K miles. I was delighted to see the Bolt warrantied for 100K miles but will need to look at the details to see if that covers accelerated capacity degradation.
- djrogers 10y agoAck - 25% capacity drop in 25k miles? Is that normal for leafs, or did the PO have particularly poor driving habits?
- antisthenes 10y ago25,000 miles is about 300 full cycle recharges for a Leaf. That is definitely the cycle number where you'll start to see a capacity drop, but 25% still seems very high for that range. First and 2nd gen batteries will generally have to be replaced around 600 +-10% cycles. It's 'normal' for all pure EV vehicles - so the durability of the battery pack is directly proportional to its capacity.
