My Nissan Leaf battery, which everyone on Reddit with an electric car they bought yesterday is very sure will die any minute, has yet to lose any of its range after 6 years and 50k miles.
Pros: no range loss
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 80467 km
If I could easily repurpose the cells in my 140k mile Model 3 into home storage for my solar I would rather do that than sell the car. 3% degradation the car itself needed more work than a replacement battery ever would have cost.
Pros: minor battery degradation
Cons: car needed more work
Mileage: 140000 km
My 2015 Leaf has 148k on it and still drives like new. The battery is down to about 85% but this is pretty old lithium tech with very early thermal controls on it.
Pros: drives like new, low maintenance
Cons: battery down to 85%
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 148000 km
My EV is 8 this year. I've not noticed a drop in range over that time, but I'll find out when it goes in for its last battery health check before the warranty expires.
Pros: no drop in range
I don't want someone else's crusty ass battery. Charge times are already low and are plentiful (Tesla at least), I don't see the utility of swapping the battery out when I could stop for like 15 mins.
Pros: charge times are low
Cons: unnecessary complication
Vehicle:
Porsche
2020 SR+ 51K I get about 229 miles at 100%, advertised range was 250 when it was purchased new.
Pros: 229 miles at 100%
Cons: range loss
Mileage: 51000 km
2018 M3P with 54K and it is right at 7%
Pros: right at 7%
Mileage: 54000 km
I got a battery from Nissan under warranty. It has a 7 year 84K warranty if I recall. That battery less than 6 months later gave a fault and they replaced it again. '22 SV
Pros: long warranty
Cons: failed quickly
Vehicle:
Nissan
the oem nissan battery had been replaced about a year prior, and it died in my driveway. the oem nissan batteries are crap.
Cons: died quickly, poor quality
Vehicle:
Nissan
battery life is astonishingly unpredictable. I drove 20 miles, but lost ~35 miles of range. Not driving crazy, either. Everything else is decent, but can't help but feel like it's a time bomb.
Cons: unpredictable range, significant range loss
