Sorry, the 70% generic capacity was information from bad sources. But currently I personally still consider the battery as too high risk for an used EV vehicle that does not have warranty left. 85%-90% seems to be closer to reality among all brands.
The issue is that we don't have actually that much data available to say anything for sure for the newest cars. Variance is too high for battery failures: https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batteries-last https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batter...
> Yep, hate my scheduled pre-heated, defrosted car that’s fully charged every morning at 1/5th of the price per mile and does all the journeys I need. Wish I was spending 5x to stand at a pump once a week. Totally useless.
This is kinda too big generalization. Not everyone has access to heated garage nor charging station with personal electric plan.
- thebruce87m 2y agoEVs bring out the strangest comments. People who normally buy 3 y/o cars and keep for 3 are worried about 8 year old cars. People who normally couldn’t care less about anyone else start to worry about others people garages, or people who live in flats, despite themselves having a viable charging option. Not saying you fit this personally but I’ve seen this countless times. People find reasons that don’t apply to them as reasons not to like them. Anyway, I don’t have a heated garage and I couldn’t see evidence of a “high variance” in battery failures in the article.
