because We’ve Been Testing Them Wrong: Study
https://www.thedrive.com/news/ev-ba...ed-because-weve-been-testing-them-wrong-study
It makes sense to me because I am not driving my MME more than a couple hours every couple of days. Even when I was working, it was more like 3 hours at most on any particular day. I would say road trips would be the only time when the car's HV battery would go through multiple charge/discharge cycles in a day.
I still think the testing is valid because it tests for the case of commercial vehicles and vehicles in full time Uber/Lyft service. It reminds me of "severe service" in regard to oil change times.
I usually keep my cars until they are not road worthy. It will be interesting to see if my MME will last 10 years when it will likely have over 200k miles driven.
