I’ve been 93.5% SoH for ages which just dropped to 93% which could be due to a small rounding in the calculation up to a full 0.5% difference.

I never did any of this battery conditioning/calibration nonsense.

Drove when I wanted and how I wanted with heat & A/Con on all the time.

Charge when I need and mainly to 100% unless I know car’s going to stand idle for more than a day when it gets 95%.

Just done end of year and accounts & stats updating the car’s stats, too.

I’m at 55 months with 121,649 miles in a Dec ‘20 built June ‘21 delivered Premium ER RWD.

Charged a total of 990 times buying 42,027.73kWh for £11,318.65 averaging £0.27/kWh.

655 charges at home with 32,383kWh costing £4,867.41 (averaging 15p/kWh)

335 DCFC charges where 9,643kWh cost £6,451.24 averaging 67p/kWh.

Overall economy is 2.89miles/kWh.

I reckon 93% is not too shabby an SoH.

Car’s still just best

I lose around 1/2% per year and am at around 32k miles after 4.5 years milage, I rarely charge to 100% and fast charge once a year. Interesting very little difference compared to your high use and milage. I keep charged to around 40 to 60% and charge at home at 7kw.

My home charger is a 22kW (3-phase) but understand car only takes 11kW of that.

These stats are excellent and should be shown to anyone who doubts that the future is Electric.
How many sets of tyres have you got through ? What make of tyre do you recommend

 

[Teslaeata]

Thnx.

Probably got through a set of original fitment Conti tyres I maintain should never be fitted to a new car as they were summer tyres and were poor for grip.

Being a RWD made it feel like I was driving a 1973 MkIII Cortina 2.0e with the arse all over the place.

Plus a pair of rears due to excessive inner shoulder wear because I always loaded car
to max weight before I adjusted rear camber angles less negative all before I fitted the Michelin CC2 tyres which I have found to be amazing for grip and wear.

I've changed mine twice. I drive like Stirling Moss.

Drive like you’re one of these

Following on from my question (2nd Dec 25) about 12V battery replacement, I decided to go ahead and find a suitable replacement battery. I choose a
Yuasa 9000 YBX9012, 12V 50Ah 520 CCA, size 207 x 175 x 190. This battery is longer than the original battery (BHAGM-H3, 35Ah 380 CCA 60RC) but the battery tray allows for this. You need to take out all 3 panels + the frunk boot panel (or whatever it is called) + cross member to get the bigger battery in.
So 200+ miles later no issues (apart from a Park Brake Malfuntion, which turned out to be a broken/corroded purple/white wire an inch from the left hand rear park brake plug for the actuator).

Did you reset BMS or anything? Or did you just install the new battery?

Yes, I did reset BMS via FORscan. Also set battery type to the nearest type in the available list (list only has Varta battery options).
Not sure if this works in the Mach-e but apparently turning the vehicle on, flashing the headlights 5 times followed by 3 presses of the brake pedal resets the BMS. It certainly makes the red battery indicator flash.

Don’t you also have to hold your left earlobe with your right thumb & forefinger to too

Dam, did it all wrong , held my right earlobe instead

 

[SteveUk]

Yes that resets the battery age counter
