>>An EV will comfortably cover 180k miles
My local, BBC radio station consumer program had a customer whose EV battery tested at 69.5 capacity after they noticed a reduction in range. It was less than six years old and as the warranty criteria was for 70% after six years, the dealer agreed to replace the battery gratis. When the car was in the dealers, they claimed the battery tested at 70.5% capacity. This bounced backwards and forwards, until the manufacturer agreed to have the battery replaced (I wonder how much BBC involvement decided them?)
The customer stated a new battery would cost £5K!
