They bought a then new Volkswagen ID.3 electric car when it first came out in 2020.
They have tried to run that car into the ground.
They have abused it.
They have fast charged it at every opportunity.
They have driven it in every weather known to humankind.
They have absolutely... They tore the arse out of it, Neil.
They tore the arse out of it.
And you want to know how much its battery capacity dropped in that time?
Over 160.
I think that car is now approaching 180,000 kilometers.
Tell me.
3%.
It still has 97% of its battery.
That's super impressive.
Yeah.
So the batteries are now incredibly robust.
They're getting better all the time.
And the electronic systems that manage them are getting better all the time.
And most new EVs now come with over-the-air software updates, which automatically update all of the systems that run and control the battery.
So in theory, if you buy a new EV today, in three or four years' time, it might actually have slightly better range because the electronics that manage it have been getting steadily better in the background all the time.
