    I read that it is very long to get to 100% charge so it monopolize the station while other people is waiting. Charge until 80% and get out of there!

    The life for Tesla Model 3 and Y is estimated to be greater than 300,000 miles. The typical degrade over that time for these cars is about 8% to 9%. Other EV brands have different results and its impossible to measure since most of them are relativity new (except a few exception). In a recent report, Tesla model 3 and Y are not impacted if the over night charging is done at home (relatively slow) or always at a fast charger in about 80% charge in 20/30 minutes.

    There's a problem to discuss that, on average a battery has lost X% after Y miles, because it's not the battery but cells acting as single point of failure that will dictate when the battery will need to be replaced. Without the data indicating the distribution of cell remaining capacity, this is a pointless discussion which serves only one purpose: it's hidden misleading advertisement. The argument that the manufacturer will remain generous in honouring every promise in 5 or 10 years has yet to be seen when Tesla's revenue and profit are shrinking fast, their inventory rose from 15 to 28 days, and it has many indicators in the red. As things change, Telsa will have to do like the others and will cut corners everywhere they can. Side note to the OP: don't use tu quoque.

    The problem with batteries is that it depends on how the battery was charged. If the car was used for longer distances and the battery was charged at a fast charger, the battery will be more damaged here, compared to cars that were only charged at home. Every car should have a full battery check button in the menu. The owner would wait...., and at the end, all the informations about the battery would be displayed - Highest Temperature, Lowest Temperature, Number of Charges, Number of Quick Charges, Highest Voltage, Lowest Voltage Battery Degradation, etc. Simple. After all, the battery is the main part of the car, and owners should have access to this information without fancy expensive devices, or paying a high price at the official dealership for a few minutes of work.

    This assumes that you were able to fast charge the battery to 100%. The reality though is that a fast charger will only be allowed to fast charge up to about 80% of its full charge capacity, and then it will step down to a slow charge. The damage from charging at high current is that as the battery nears full, to continue to fast charge will cause dendrites to form on the anode and if done excessively, this dendrite can penetrate into the solid electrolyte and reach the cathode, and this short will cause the cell to discharge prematurely. All battery charge management systems in cars will simply reduce the current as the car approaches a point where the designer feels is safe to charge too. There is virtually nothing the owner can do to cause damage to the battery short of modifying the hardware and software. The BCM does not let you charge the battery to 100% of what it is cabable of being charged to, and it will not let you discharge it past a low voltage point set by the software. When you see the State of Charge indicator for the battery in a car, you are not seeing 100% of the battery capacity, you are only seeing 100% of the capacity that the designer allows you to use. When the SOC says 0, the reality is that there is still about 20% capacity in the battery, but if you run a Li-on battery lower than design voltage, it greatly affects the batteries life so when you are at 0 on the SOC, there is still current in the battery, but you are simply not allowed to use it.

    I know how charging works, and most people also know how charging works. But that has nothing to do with my comment. My comment is that the battery deep test information should be "public" and accessible through the car menu. Why do owners need to go to an official service center to find out the condition of the car battery? So that they can charge you $30+ for a fucking xx minutes of connecting to a car computer. "The average cost for a Battery Test is between $35 and $45 but can vary from car to car." The program can only check the battery if the sensors are already added inside the battery. In this case, only code is needed to read these sensors and display them on the screen. The program/code that checks the battery is not so large that the code can not be added to the car's computer. Because of this, owners will rarely check the battery status. Because you are literally throwing money away. The battery has everything needed for testing, and only the code to read the sensors is missing. And for the fu**** code, people pay $30+ for EVERY F*** CONNECTION. Then people complain that they have to pay ××$ for Windows OS (lifetime). But here you pay $30+ just for a fu*** code - every time! So yes, battery diagnostics should be built into the car (code) and accessible to the owner of the car via the menu.

    I'm afraid battery degradation is far more complicated than portrayed in this video and high milage electric cars probably get the best milage when compared against battery degradation. My car at 3000 miles, 12 months old had 2.15% degradation probably because it had been stored with a high charge level. The amount of charge given, level of charge, environment and storage charge all have an influence. Sounds like a marketing ploy by Tesla.

    What kind make and model car do you drive? Do you know the battery chemistry and type battery layout your car uses? My 2023 model Y has a 60 KLW LFP battery's in rectangular containers with pouch style batteries. CATL made the battery and they are serviceable. I expect the battery to outlast me. It's designed to be charged to 100% and so far after 15,000 km no complains. No reasons to visit a service center/dealership and the car improves with every free over the air updated. It's got more features now than when I bought it last August. I would not buy anything with an LG or SKI battery, nor anything that wasn't an LFP chemistry. So far Tesla / Panasonic jellyroll battery's are performing great but they are non serviceable. Any problems with in 8-10 years they give you a new replacement under warranty for free!

    ??? With proper maintenance the average-usage ICE vehicle easily last 15-plus. No chance that an Lithium-based battery in an average-usage EV will last that long and still have a reasonable charging capacity. EVs are very use-case based in the advantages they offer. For me, living in Australia & regularly driving long distances (two drivers), don't want to spend time looking for some suitable charging station, and then wasting time we don't have on charging an EV, EVs are next to useless. My KIA Carnival diesel easily does 800-900 kilometres on highways without having to worry and refilling the tank takes about five minutes.

    When the battery warranty expires, it definitely is important to factor in the cost of replacing the whole battery. Also, it is important to factor in the cost of totalling the car for any minor problem past the 2-3 years of age as the residual value of the car is going to be less than a manufacturer refurbished battery or a new engine. Need to also factor in the fact that many of the EVs have serialized parts: any minor issue and you won't be able to do anything yourself. And you make one big mistake: there are thousands of moving parts in an EV in addition to the most obvious (motor, transfer case and transmissions/bearings): each lithium ion physically moves between the cathode and the anode which one of the reason why the battery degrades from the moment it is assembled.

    An accident may cause the car to be totaled if the battery pack is damaged. Some repair shops don't allow the car in the garage for fear of fires or can't fix them. Fires can't be put out. Black outs can leave you stranded. Insurance is higher for EV's. Charging stations need work. A Half hour wait to charge at a minimum. Luck to find a station that is working Resale value is abysmal. Not a good deal in my eyes.

    Hi, there’s potentially many reasons it’s happening but to narrow down where the fault lies I would first try to recharge your car on a different outlet, preferably not one close by to the current one. If the problem persists with the new outlet the problem may be with your charger. It may be pulling too many amps. Also note: it is not recommended to use an extension cord when charging your car.

    Surely, like any other car, it will need new tyres , brake pads, steering and suspension checks, brake fluid and transmission oil checks / replacement , pollen filter change, air conditioning....etc. They aren't maintenance free. Engine oil change, sparkplug checks and air filter change every few years are no big deal. I/c engines will potentially have a much longer life than the EV batteries.

    My electric car doesn’t drive like a regular car - it’s much better. It has one pedal driving so I rarely touch the brake pedal. I love that. And because the heavy battery is on the bottom the car doesn’t roll in curves and almost feels like it has a suction grip on the road. All in all it is way more fun than a traditional car. By the way, I have a Genesis GV60.
