Our household got its first EV earlier this year, mainly for the daily 20-25 km commute form my SO, and it’s been the best car purchase we’ve ever made (only bested by my 3, which made it to 10y w/o problems this year). That “small battery” that once worried us (or more like we intentionally went with the smaller offering)? Barely a drawback - in the summer, a single charge lasts a whole week. This EV has become our go-to for short trips, and while cutting running costs by 2/3 was a big motivator, it’s now just a nice side benefit. I love the torque and started to love the silent driving. especially in a traffic jam.

Pros: love the torque, silent driving

OEM batteries are crap, replace it with something better, preferably an EFB one. Also, a healthy battery should withstand that time and even more, so yours was definitely at its end.

Cons: OEM batteries are crap, short lifespan

Just had to replaced my battery in my 2022 Mazda 3. I’ve always heard people say the batteries are crap in these cars. There’s no way you should be replacing a OEM battery yet. They use some crap Panasonic battery.

Cons: poor quality, short lifespan

I have the same problem with my Mazada 3. Changed the battery while still under warranty and still does it. I don't leave anything pluggeded in and it still dies overnight. I purchased a battery tender and have to hook it up every night or get a boost in the morning.

Cons: dies overnight

Battery died less than 12000 miles. Apparently Mazda is using cheap batteries, as this seems to be a common issue. But I still see others complain about the same thing.

Cons: died early, cheap quality, common issue

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Mileage: 12000 km
