I drive a 2016 f15 x5 40e. After 7 years i still do the same distance full electric, maybe 2-3km less but can be my driving style
Pros: consistent electric range
Cons: slight range reduction
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I have been driving a 2022 330e since March 2022 and haven’t seen any battery degradation to date. In the NY winter I still get at least 20 miles on a full charge, in the summer 23-30.
Pros: no battery degradation, consistent range
Cons: lower range in winter
Vehicle:
BMW
I set off to test the X5 battery to see if degradation was better or worse than my iPhone's 10% degradation over one year. We've driven 29,996 miles, 15,296.5 electric. My best all-electric range achieved was about 41 miles when new. After one year, I achieved exactly 41 all-electric miles from a full charge in ideal conditions. Zero percent degradation as measured by this test. It appears temperature and AC/heat use have much greater impacts on range than actual battery health at this stage. Results look better than expected for long term ownership and residual value.
Pros: zero degradation, better than expected
Cons: range affected by temperature
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mileage: 48275 km
2014 Mazda 3, about 65k km.\n\n2nd battery only because I left the lights on one time a few years ago and needed a replacement. Nil problems otherwise.
Pros: nil problems otherwise
Cons: 2nd battery
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 65000 km
2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.
Pros: going fine
Cons: battery due soon
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
For about a month I have owned a 2016 REx whose 60 Ah battery is supposed to get 72 miles. This week I fully charged it and have been commuting four four days without topping up. Today the REx kicked in with the trip meter at 73.3 miles. This was a mixture of city traffic jams and short bursts on the carriageway, mostly with the air con on and mostly in Comfort mode. So I'm pretty pleased.
Pros: good range, satisfactory performance
Vehicle:
BMW
I am still on my original battery in my 2007 335i w/ 87k miles.
Pros: original battery, 87k miles
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 139200 km
my bmw would say this, a year after having a new oem batt installed, and only in the winter, dealer couldn't find the problem, so I traded it in for another subaru because parasitic draws are the last thing you want in a german car
Cons: problem persisted, dealer couldn't fix, parasitic draws
Vehicle:
BMW
So far have not had any issues except for dud OEM battery, kriginal and warranty...
Cons: dud OEM battery
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 135000 km
