Hi All,
I've been in the market for EV for some time but still hold some concerns over the battery warranty, are they really prepared to shell out to replace it and more to the point how do they really check and manage this?
1) I wonder if anyone has had any experiences with having to claim on the 8year/100 mile 70% capacity battery warranty? or know of any cases? It would be interesting how BMW deal with this, check this etc.
2) I have heard they deal with the SOH (state of health) of the battery? As I understand this is the 'real' capacity of the battery pack after any reserve they have calcualted in (think this is 20% on the i3). Can anyone shed more light on this?
Cheers,
Michael
