Sparkle the 2012 Chevy volt I linked 2 goes through 2 full charges a day and is at over 340,000 miles and
Over 2080 full charge discharge cycles

He has no measurable capacity loss

If he were to loose his battery in a collision it's $2300 for a new gen i volt battery.

Things have changed dramatically in the last 6 years compared to the Chinese crap that hobbiests shoehorned into cars.

A properly designed ev should not have range loss
