My car is also a 2016 and it's on the original Varta battery.
Just replaced battery on my Mazda 3 2018.
Di naman inabot ng hindi na ma-start. The i-stop orange sign started blinking + warning sign = i knew battery voltage was low.
The bolt (possibly the cheapest used EV available) batteries last well into the 200,000mi lifespan. My insurance lowered $80 when I bought my first EV. My state started charging an extra $150 to register an EV in 2019. About the same as the average ICE owner would pay in gas tax.
Generally speaking the ownership cost is low. I have had a 2013 Volt since new. I hardly ever need the engine to run, so it has had 6 oil changes in 12 years. I have done no other engine maintenance. It still has its original traction battery and is still performing well.
At 10 years and 330,000 kms my Volt battery didn't even show degradation.
Mine is ten years old. It's a Chevy volt so it's a small battery and has over 3000 cycles and done 130000 km. It's at 87% original capacity.
Stated the battery was going bad, my thanks to Autonation for letting me get the inspection done and replacing the battery with a Varta AGM (I believe factory spec). Basically I love this car
I replaced mine with a higher capacity Varta 44ah 420cca battery, never had a flat since
The factory battery is rubbish though. So get a better branded battery - varta or Bosch are good.
I have the same problem! Overcharging - 14,9V. Had AGM Varta, I put new Acid Varta and recoded to Lead Acid battery. But there is no difference - charges 14,9V, I think, this is too much!
