Highest Mileage on a BEV?

[GreaseMonkey]

I have two MME. my wife's car was two years old in September. she charges to 100% EVERY night. ZERO degradation. Put all the science crap away and just enjoy the car. her 2021 has 91,000 miles. My 2023 GT has 39,000. She charges to 100% EVERY day. The only factor of concern is temperature. below 40 degrees means about 250 miles max. Above 105 is about the same. In between we get 280 miles. Together we drive an average of 6,000 miles PER MONTH. All of this science crap is above is boring. i go by real world stuff and since I have owned one since 2021 I think i know what is best for my cars.

How did you conclude zero degradation, especially all caps?

excellent news!
Roughly- what are your typical charging habits? Eg: DCFC 1x per month and typically charge to 80%.

I’m a relatively inexperienced BEV driver. 15.6K miles on my MME. My Blazer, OTOH… Faded Chevrolet Million Mile sticker in one of the windows when I bought it. I turned the odometer over 3 times myself. So many miles on it the rear ring gear wore out.

That Tesla had pack replacements. I'm interested in first pack mileage. Secondly, I wanted to hear from forum members' personal experiences. The owner of that Tesla is not a forum member as far as I know. Re-read my original post.

As a person who has driven well over 500,000 miles since September 2007, the math on this Model S just doesn’t work out based on my experience. 130,000 miles a year is 356 miles EVERY day at 8 hours driving a day at a constant 44 MPH.

That leaves hardly any time to charge, sleep, eat, poop and install 13 motors and 3 battery packs as maintenance. Let alone 30 tire changes and alignments.

And the owner says he stops every 62 miles to take a break from driving. Lol.

Furthermore: who cares! I don't need a car to last a million miles. Certainly not at that expense. And I don't want to spend that much of my life in a car . I so love when the media gets bored and desperate for clicks.

Was the degradation linear, do you know? I have 22K miles and SoH at 92.5%. Standard battery AWD.

I have a 9000 mile, 18 month old vehicle with 94.5%. Most of my charging is on DCFC.

Interesting.

Yesterday I noticed that it went from 93% to 92.5%, and it made me think about how low can I go before thinking about a new pack or a car - currently, I have about 130 winter city miles on a regular 90% charge. Probably 70-80? A couple of hours of driving?

Right because you are now out of warranty on the battery . The BEV world really needs to figure out an economical way to deal with that. I'm thinking qualified and reliable pack recycling/rebuilding. Definitely money to be made in that space.
