Don't listen to people with opinions, listen to people with experience, got it. Thank you very much. Great video.

I've specialized in batteries for 25 years now and it really is an annoying career because so many people want to tell me how much more they know about batteries than I do. Unfortunately the vast majority of them have 10 pounds of opinion and 2 pounds of knowledge.

I learned more in that 23 min video clip, then in hours of googling. Thanks Moggy

"Don't listen to people with opinion. Listen to people with experience" Nicely said. A great video. Didn’t think I would listen to the finish, but I did. Great job! Thank you 🙏

We have a Chevy volt that is 10 years old and has 40,000 miles on it. We are officially an elderly couple and very rarely drive beyond the range of the batteries. We live in town and 90% of our driving is within a 20 mile round trip. If we anticipate driving farther than the range of the batteries we put the car in mountain mode . This mode essentially guarantee that the battery doesn't get down all the way on the trip before the small gas engine kicks in and starts charging the batteries. GM wants the gas engine to be used at least 10 minutes every month anyway and and has this programmed into the system. Once in a while I let the car run the batteries down until the engine kicks in in normal mode to check on battery degradation. So far we have noticed no degradation that we can notice. The car has given us 40000 trouble free miles and has so far shown no evidence of body corrosion. At this rate and our very senior driving style we anticipate this car should, barring an accident, last us the rest of our lives. Given our low electricity rates it only costs us $1.50 to drive 50 miles which ain't bad. And you guys are correct, there's an awful lot of misinformation out there concerning electric cars from people who never owned or driven one.

After hearing this I am going to change my charging habits. 80% is better than I thought for what I am doing. Great information video.

Moggy is FANTASTIC!!!! Cuts through the nonsense and explains things so simply and so well. The perfect guest. Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

This should be on a DVD with one's new EV with the manual. Something simple that new owners can watch to get them going. Actually, just READ the car's manual. It is spelled out clearly... (...what manual?)

My favorite battery charging explanation was "Imagine a giant double decker stadium and the top deck is full and the bottom deck is empty. All the people represent electrons. A whistle blows and everyone scrambles to get to the bottom deck. At first there are big bottle necks, then the flow starts stabilizing. The deck starts to fill up fast till you get to the final 20%. After you get to the final 20%, most seats are occupied and people spend more time wandering around looking for an empty seat. The less seats left available the harder it is for the "electrons" to find a "hole" to sit down in so it takes longer.

I’m a new EV driver and this video taught me so much. Thanks a million!

This guy knows his stuff. This guy also builds and sells batteries for a living. Would have liked to see a debate format.

Thanks for putting out the facts. I have a 5 year old Model 3 with 100,000 miles, and it's at about 95% of my original range. I've also paid a whopping $200 in maintenance costs (excluding new tires)... which was to replace the trunk (boot) latch. I still have the original brakes... and with regenerative braking I may never need to replace the brake pads. And with over the air updates, the car is literally better than when I bought it. I wouldn't even consider buying anything other than another Tesla.

I ran a Nissan eNV200 as a nationwide same day courier. Nissans are not noted for their battery longevity, they use old tech and very rudimentary thermal management (although unlike the Leaf at least the eNV has some). But after 130,000 miles in just 2 years and a huge number of rapid charges (sometimes as many as 5 a day) it still retained 90% of it's original battery capacity and therefore range. I was more than happy with a vehicle which would still be perfectly serviceable beyond 250 or perhaps even 300,000 miles with minimal repair costs, so I've stuck with an EV and wouldn't go back to a combustion car as a daily driver if you paid me.

As they say, every day is a day at school, that was an education. BRILLIANT, 'Don't Listen to people with Opinions, Listen to People with Experience' thanks Moggy best advice I've heard in over 50 years !! 👍

Thank you for bringing balance into this debate I am a petrol head and was completely anti ev till I watched this. What a pleasure to listen to the views of a properly knowledgeable person. Wanna search for any videos of the conversations that this company is active with

As much I dont like queues at charging points this year, I glad that you guys busted this myth. Got EV myself and first time in my life happy do not care about suspicious noises, oil change, discusting smoke around and so on. Just open doors, push couple buttons and drive. Also enjoy supercar like acceleration and power. Great stuff, thank you all, engineers!

Very fair review, there is a lot of rubbish spoken about EV’s. I’ve had my Tesla almost 4 years and 60k miles, I’ve lost 3 miles range in that time.

As a little bonus, What is not mentioned is after your 200,000 mile, you may have lost 10% of your range but you still have ALL of your performance. I wonder how many ICE cars can say that.

Absolutely brilliant.. We've just acquired a new Kia Niro EV for our son on his motability scheme. I'm now much more confident we made a good choice. Thanks guys.

No doubt the best, understandable explanation on charging I've seen/listened to from the myriad videos available. Thank you for the well founded advice and the added touch of humor and real life input. Cheers!

I am an old git but you're never too old to learn. Very intuitive and it has me thinking. Keep up the good work both you and moggy. 👍👍 a thumbs up each 😄

Even without battery temperature management our 2013 Renault Zoe 22Kw got to nearly 100,000 miles and the battery loss was only 9% from new so not too bad either and although we have now sold it (2 years ago) its still going fine as I keep in touch with the new owners.

I was debating for months now if I should buy an electric car as my new drive. This video absolutely convinced me that it's time to go electric. Thank you! Tesla Model 3 ordered.

Thanks from a Canadian viewer. Excellent, unbiased information. Appreciate you simplifying things for me.

So glad to see a proper petrol head like Ped busting these myths. The Fully Charged Show does the same, but they're usually preaching to the converted. Ped's audience is the one that really needs to be re-educated. (I'm a 72 year old life-long petrol head myself)

I took a BMW i3 as a company car back in January 2017 and over the following 4 years racked up 110K miles. Since its main use was a 160+ mile round trip commute, it was frequently getting charged from below 20% back up to 100% twice a day (overnight at home and at work) on an AC charger and I saw very little deterioration in range over that period of time. I did not rapid charge it very often, mainly because of the limited availability at the time.

What a wonderfully comprehensive conversation!

As an electrical engineer with over 40 years industry experience, my main concern regarding EVs is the fact that the batteries experience thermal runaway, causing explosions, intense fires or both.

My issue is the infrastructure - we are not allowed to charge an EV at home and there are no chargers within 5 miles (and they are also never working). As my wife is disabled we cannot ever have an EV, and it looks like this will be an issue in many flats/social housing as well

Brilliant video. Thank you for taking the time to do this. What a great knowledge Moggy has and he is able to explain things in understandable ways to the techno spanners (me). Will definitely go and search out his website now.

Thank you for the information!! As a Volvo XC40 Recharge owner in the US I found this so interesting and powerful!!! Be well....

Watched a few videos now with this guy from wales. He’s a legend with EV knowledge & what he can convert. This is the way forward for many.👍

Pedro, this video was Goldilocks! Great to have straight talk from credible experts. Shout out to Moggy and crew. Really miss Vintage Voltage, have cycled through both seasons a couple times.

Excellent piece. I love the concept of don't listen to opinion, listen to experience. Says it all

Great video guys. No nonsense expert advice. That's exactly what we need. Keep up the good work.

THANK you for this great video Pete! Moggy is really my new hero, such a great guy!

I have the Tesla Model 3 SR+ 2021 made in china. That means it has the LFP battery. According to what I have read I should expect 1 million miles out of the battery. This means it will last me, at my currency utilization, approximately 100 years. My biggest concern is whether my great great grand children will be able to find a replacement that will fit the car in 2123. Keeps me up at night I can tell you!

You can charge an LFP battery to 100%. Due to the different chemistry they're not as energy dense but they can be charged to 100% without the fear of excessive degradation and don't suffer the same fire risks. LFP batteries are currently used in the smaller battery pack EV variants.

this video was very informative and helpful , l am tossing up wether to buy electric or stick with an engine and all the questions i had regarding electric cars you have just answered many thanks , one more piece of advice please i am thinking about the mokka e , what do you think i watched your review on it any advice would be appreciated many thanks Derek.

great to have videos with the people that re-use second hand EV batteries! And fascinating to hear that the problem facing lithium battery recyclers is that the batteries are staying in use and so there are very few needing recycled!

Another great video, as always Moggy is able to use simple comparisons between ‘combustion engine’ terminology and how that equates to the electric world. The interaction and banter between the two of you, is always fun to watch. Keep up the good work - both of you.

Cracking video. So.. where I am now. Electric cars are fast, reliable and practical. The problem is the infrastructure. If only the UK had a proper Government that cared about things like that instead of lining their own pockets.

Great video, really loved it guys genuine info from seasoned people in the know, total respect to you.

Addressed nearly every question/concern that I’ve had. Thank you!

Love your perspective. Im a total petrohead, love the sound of a cross plane crank or 3 rotor engine. I also love electricity too. Id rather use a 3ph pressure washer than deal with a diesel driven pump. Same with yard tools and power tools, rather use ego 56v yard tools than small gas. My cheap model 3 fits the bill for commuting and convenience. Diversity works for financial portfolio and I think it applies to cars too, 3x f150 seems as stupid and 3x teslas. Americans are lucky to be able to afford multiple cars tho. Appreciate gearheads like you being openinded.

Brilliant, thank you. I'll be sharing this about. When I was considering a new car at the beginning of 2023, I came across your channel & it really helped in the decision-making process. Your critical but balanced view was extremely helpful. In June, took delivery of a BMW iX1 (I am or rather was a Brit -thank you, Brexit - and I do live in Bavaria). I hadn't even sat in any EV before the showroom handover. Now you couldn't get me to even consider an ICE again, although at 69, I don't expect to need to buy another car again. Yes, expensive, and I had to make compromises (towing weight), but the driving pleasure now in 2023, is even greater than when I got my first used £300, 6 Volt VW Beetle based, Beach Buggy in 1972. One of the nicer explanations of the 0-100% charging issues was comparing it to a multi-storey car park at a shopping centre: early on Saturday morning you drive in and straight into a bay, as morning progresses you need to search about & by 11am you are spending ages driving around to find a slot. That's the process that happens when you charge - ions find their way easily to start with and then increasingly have to slow down to dock into a cell. And for the battery degradation, it's like a well poured, unfiltered Bavarian wheat beer: the Battery with its gross/net capacity is the same as the large foam head and the last centimetre at the bottom of the glass with the yeast that you don't drink - and this is where the degradation largely takes place, especially in the first 5-10 years, not in the main body. Greetings to Sussex - I last lived near Petworth, so nice to watch some of your reviews just for the scenery!

had to watch it twice for the good info, I was enjoying the chemistry between these two guys too much!!

Very informative video, thank you. My first EV was a 10 year old Peugeot Ion and its battery was degraded to 70% of its original capacity. In town use you could get max 60 miles in summer and half that in winter, or less if you really caned the heater. Needless to say I always charged it to 100%! I now have a new e-Up with 32kWh battery. I still charge it to 100% because the winter range is only 110 miles and I find charging is a faff (wet dirty cable in the dark, ugh) and b) it's a lease car so it's someone else's problem when I'm done with it. In reality it will be the third or fourth owner at 8 to 10 years old who might find it's slightly more degraded than one that's been lovingly wrapped in cotton wool and kept between 20 and 80% all its life. But by the sound of this video we're talking a few percentage points not double digits degradation... so who cares.

Lifelong petrolhead but now an EV convert. Dubious green issues aside, they are great as a daily driver, fast, smooth quiet. Still keep a classic ICE for weekends mind ;)

Moggy always explains stuff so well and in an easy to understand way. Hopefully cleared up some myths as well

This video is a breath of fresh air compared to the endless number of those floating around the web spouting gloom and doom. Very thorough. Not a lot of detail or experience with extreme temperatures (ie freezing cold), but a giant step forward in spreading truth rather than fiction. Thank you. I’m sending links to glass half empty friends.

Highly informative, tells it straight, no technical jargon, thanks Moggy

Had a Leaf from new for 4 years, done 80k miles in it and home charge to 100% most nights. Battery at 92% capacity using Leaf spy and has been for the last year. They seem to lose around 5% in the first year and then 1% each year after that. Im told it will plateau at around 90% for the next 100k miles then it's performance will start to drop off faster. But the useful life will be around 250k +. I can live with that as im saving £2500 a year on diesel after paying for the electricity. Its also a pleasure to drive with the smoothness of a Jaguar and id know cos ive owned 6 of them.

I have and know many people with electric cars. No-one moans about batteries (degradation) except perhaps charge speeds at rapid/ultra chargers (over 50kw/h), but that's because the software is looking after the battery. If they moan about anything it's usually the software on the infotainment or the need to override the lane-assist (NCAP related) which usually isn't fit for purpose for many British roads. That'd be the same for modern petrol cars.

Great video with a great tone. Thanks Moggy for charismatic answers.

great vid. loved Moggy's explanations. he made it so much easier to understand.

Some people say they will never buy an EV and then repeat the anti EV myths. The honest ones say "I cannot afford one".

Our 2019 Model 3P has absolutely minimal degradation, and has been basically perfect since day 1. I will NEVER EVER buy another ICE car. NOT EVER. Yes we look after it, only very rarely charge above 90% and mostly less than 80%. In four years, I have spent ZERO on maintaining it- (have rotated tyres and flushed the brake fluid myself- though even that was not really necessary as it still tested fine.)

Very good information but the big question is: where are we going to get enough lithium, cobalt, magnesium and copper to power the 3 billion cars on the planet, at current levels of mining it will take thousands of years.

Brilliant, I bought a second hand Kia Soul. My wife and I fight over who is driving. We only get 135 store even in the summer but that is no problem. Just about everywhere we want to go is well within range. We love going up hills, because we know the battery will recharge going down the other side! We learned that lesson when we were up the top of welsh mountain at 11o'clock at night, when the forecast said we only had 15 miles in the battery, yet the satnav said we had 22 to go. We arrived at the hotel with still 8 miles. Big, big, heave of relief! We charge using the granny and have no problems (although the garage said we would), timed for when our solar is good.

Great vid Pete !! It’s nice to get a real expert like Moggy’s opinion on charging / batteries etc. 👍🏻🇨🇦

Very well explained totally agree with everything he’s said, I’ve just passed my level 3 in IMI EV maintenance just to add you can change the cells individually to take your battery back up to 100 percent More cost effective than changing the whole batter, EVs are great it’s the infrastructure that needs to catch up

Great vid. Own a bolt from Jan 6th 2017. Only had 7% loss from 130k miles before warranty battery from the recall for fires. I believe the first 4-5 % was first year in 30k miles, so it slows way down. Also I have my car timed to be a full charge 1hr before I leave for work. It is never fully charged for long periods of time. If i didnt need the whole battery, or most of it , I would only charge to 80%. Those 2 items also help for a long battery life.

Super super video. So informative. I’m extremely grateful for all I learned off this video. Thank you 🙏

Gained a lot of respect for you over these last couple ev videos. You are keeping an open mind, but also a healthy dose of ev skepticism. Combined with your own real use experiences and very honest open conversations with actual industry experts. Top shelf stuff imo. 👍🏻😎

Great presentation and on-air chemistry! For next in the series can we ask: 1) When will charging speeds fill a deplenished EV vehicle in under 5 minutes? 2) Best methods to put out an EV battery fire.

Great video and really really helpful. I sat through the whole thing. Very interesting. I also now know what Damon Albarn does when he’s not with Blur or Gorillaz 😂👌🔥

Excellent explanation for novices. Since LFP batteries are gaining ground very fast, could you do a short video to explain best chargindg habits bewtween LFP and NMC chemistry in batteries?

That was the first information I have seen about batteries where someone actually knew what they were talking about. So informative and valuable. Really appreciate the effort than you. Totally changed my opinion about electric cars. Right though about electric motors, I was a maintenance a reliably chartered engineer in in the oil industry for over 40 years, loved the maintenance free electric motors and hated reciprocating drivers.

Another excellent video Pedro! Now it all makes a lot more sense. I love the way Moggy explains everything so well and the fact that he has a passion for classic cars and is converting them to EV speaks volumes, he wouldn't do it if it didn't work long term and the maths didn't stack up. I've not been a huge EV fan up to now but that video has increased my faith quite a bit. Also, if eventually it's difficult to run an ICE vehicle due to lack of fuel supply I can always convert my Honda powered Rally Landcrab I'm currently building to electric to keep it going.

You are great together (and you’re good-looking guys)! This is THE video I've been looking for on this topic, informative, fun and now I want to see some of the builds! Thank you! Seriously considering getting an Audi E-Tron; would be my first EV. I'm so ready to put gas and oil and filters and all the rest in the rearview mirror. Just this week, I spent 20 minutes in a Costco gas line and paid 55 USD for the pleasure, I'm done! For comparison, my first and only EV charging experience was ~20 mins and the E-Tron I was test-driving went from advertised 16 mi range to 150 mi range and .... it was FREE, free gas! I don't know how common free chargers are, but I guess I was lucky that first time. For reference regarding battery charging behavior, I sat in a 2023 E-Tron S model yesterday and the onboard screen that happened to come up ( I hadn’t clicked on anything other than start button ) said to not leave the battery in a high charge state for extended periods of time, e.g. taking a three-week vacay or any long-term storage, get that battery down to 20% was my interpretation. It also said to limit charging above 80% (like you covered in this video). Which makes me wonder, do EVs have battery stats so it’s easy to see current condition and use history? They must and it would be super helpful for second and third buyers to know how to access the data. So on to my EV evaluation. I didn't know jack about EVs until a couple weeks ago, and now trying to get up to speed, no pun. They are more complicated than I initially thought and so my zero-maintenance dream isn't quite there as swapping gas/diesel for electrons doesn’t make power-train issues disappear. I had been expecting the common issues of brakes (less frequent due to reduced wear), tires (I've read to expect more frequent changes) and chassis/suspension. Also the sophisticated electronics with screens, sensors and actuators. The E-Tron’s power-train, for example, has a sophisticated cooling system (as you say is a requirement in the vid) for the battery and motors, two or three (s model) three-phase ac motors*, each attached to a sophisticated gearbox that converts the high speed revs of their attached motor to useable wheel revs (just like a WW2 steam ship! ;)). Sure, no switching gears, but still gears. I gather that the coolant needs to be replaced every 20k miles for ongoing maintenance and then possible *expensive* failure points are in the cooling system, gearbox mechanicals, maybe ac motor bearings as well? I've read that E-Trons have suffered (don't know %) from coolant leaking into the motor causing expensive and long replacement cycles. I've also read that there have been some motor/gearbox alignment issues causing long and expensive replacement cycles. Would love data on either of these issues if anyone who has bothering to read this far has any 😉. Couple sidenotes since you talked about expected total miles and phone batteries: I recently had a new wheel bearing put on my 2005 audi s4 avant that has 206k miles. Also new coils, plugs, flex plate and 02 sensors for my wife’s 2008 merc ml350 that has 185k miles. I also recently had my iphone “reengined” because its battery life had decayed to 80% original; I prefer the 11 formfactor to any of the new ones. None of this was DIY, it was all PMM/T (pay my mechanic/tech) 🤣. * Until yesterday, I mistakenly thought EV motors were DC, but they are not. The DC power stored in the battery is converted to three phase ac for most efficient power generation (I was EE in skool).

Just sold my Leaf at 10 yers old and 55k miles. Lost about 15% of its capacity only. Was very reliable. Only real problem with it was that it never had much range when new so not much less 15% was hard to live with except for very local journeys. This won't be a problem for the current generation of EVs as they all come with bigger batteries.

Great video! Super happy I found your channel! We are on our 2nd EV...first one was a 2023 Kona EV - we put 48,000km on it in 10 months! Fantastic car...we now have an Ioniq 5 AWD Ultimate trim and it is a lovely car! I am a car guy and love to drive and still have a couple of classics and a Toyota RAV4....they barely get driven! The EV gets all the attention! Yes I struggle with discussions with people who have opinions on EV's but 0 experience. In any case we will never buy another ICE vehicle....the EV gets the win! Cheers Mike

We have a second hand BMW i3 with over 100,000km and nearly 10 years old. Recent battery test showed 97% of new capacity. A good battery management and cooling system makes all the difference :)

Info that may help someone. My wife owns Nissan Leaf 2016, 30kWh and 250.000km (156.000mi). SOH of the battery fell to 58%, range about 80km (50mi), in sub zero temperature it doesn't work at all. This car battery was abused, charged mostly on quick chargers, overheated randomly since it was a test vehicle for charging stations repairs and testing. Dealer wanted over 30,000€ for a new battery so I bought it cheaply. I guess, it would easily do 300,000 miles if used properly. I'm replacing the cells with slightly used ones from VW ID4, all materials will cost me about 2,500€. Maybe I'll use the leftover cells for home storage. Nissan Leafs are good for commuting to work and home, not meant for long travels. Batteries would be good, but they lack thermal management. This video is very informative and a must watch for every EV owner.

Hi, very nice 20min, learned a lot! Thank you! I would like you to address the LFP. can/should we recharge to 100%, everyday or once a week, fast charging... and so on. It would ve very interesting a comparison between standard litium and LFPs. Thank you!

This is very helpful. Learned a few things...didnt think batteries could be refurbed, for some reason. ...also, i was under the impression that having your battery charged to 100 all the time was good for it! I presume that applies to phones as well. Unlike my kids , i keep a phone till it doesnt work....

The team over at Electric Classic Cars are brilliant! Thank you for making the time and effort to produce this video.

Great stuff! I am a bit confused about the “Keep your charge between 20-80% to prolong battery life”, because my Tesla Model Y 2023 with a LFP battery, warns me when I set the limit to 80%. It says I should charge to 100% at least once a week. Should I ignore this to save the battery? Thanks for this video - it cleared up much of the confusion.

Just brilliant ❤ I have bin working with lithium batteries since 2011 and design battery’s since 2011 as well, the largest on 114 Kw@700 V This guy is spot on One exception, LFP battery was one of the first battery’s however it has evolved quite a bit over the last few years. Maybe that’s what he meant or I misunderstood him (sorry if it is so) Thanks for the video, now I can point to this video when people have questions or don’t understand battery technology❤ The best statement is “Talk to people with battery vertical experience, NOT people with opinions” I just love that comes, because it is so true !!!!!!

Excellent video. With Moggy's experience and style of presentation and the rapport you have I could have enjoyed a longer video. The click bait brigade need to see this, but... Well done. More like this, every couple of months ??

My wifes Smart ForFour EQ will be 4 years old in September, it has currently done 22k. As we have recently purchased it I had a battery condition report done by Mercedes for peace of mind. The print out showed it still has 96% of its original battery capacity and all individual cells were in top condition. I would recommend that any purchaser of a used EV car insists on a battery condition report at time of purchase.

Great video. Clear and knowledgeable explanations. Thank you!

Love the 'Lithium Battery Fire Blanket' in the background! Only kidding, interesting content, cheers.

I had no idea these batteries are 100% recyclable, this is great to hear. Only driving 6K per year it would make sense for me to get a battery car but I'm still not feeling confident enough with the infrastructure but I am sure I will have to make the move in the coming years. Great video and love Moggy's passion.

Probably should have read the Tesla warranty - the battery will be replaced if it falls below 70%. The company specifies its batteries will retain at least 70 percent of their original capacity (also known as 30 percent degradation) during the warranty period (typically 8 years). Moreover, it is more or less normal to suffer 5% degradation in the first year of normal use and thereafter it can vary due to a number of factors. By the way for a model Y the EPA rating is 212 miles which is only 340 km. In other words as long as the vehicle, which is rated by Tesla at 303 miles, can do 212 miles its covered. Now place that vehicle in a hot climate or a cold climate and you'll find the 212 miles drops further. I can tell you from personal experience of a model 3 in both a hot and cold country, by using aircon you can severely impact performance by as much as 30% e.g. in the case of the model Y (with degrade battery), you might be down to a range of 150 miles or 240km. In my case I can tell you in northern Sweden I could barely get 200 miles when new, let alone with a degraded battery (I moved it on in less than a year). Honesty is important in these discussions and your mate has a clear conflict of interest.

Thank You Guys! Of course, I knew all of that -- but Moggy is so "down to Earth" kind of Guy! Make me feel more sure of myself. Thanks!

I like the way you manage to dumb it down , no technical data , no studies references, keep it simple and select your audience.

I like to explain EV reliability by comparing it to vacuum cleaner or refrigerator reliability. Even my lawn mower is electric, starts every time without fail, and never serviced. Batteries and battery management were a let down, but most makes of vehicles have brought up the reliability tremendously.

I do forklifts which use L-Ion batteries in some cases. We are planning to use the batteries for ten years across two five year leases with some customers. This is allowing for a daily discharge/recharge including use in cold stores ( -22 degrees C).

I loved driving my Tesla but all this talk of degradation, the depreciation I suffered, plus the small but significant risk of damage leading to catastrophic failure means I'll wait a while longer for my next one.

The best advice I have heard in a long time and it applies to everything not just electric cars; "Don't listen to opinions, Listen to experience." Very well said! Thank you.

Great video, Pedro. You and Moggy have a great rapport. 😊 One thing Moggy forgot to mention, though, is the difference between gross battery capacity and useable battery capacity. Most EVs have batteries with built-in top and bottom buffers to protect the battery from ever being 100% full or 100% empty. Another reason degradation is now so low. For example, the Tesla Model 3 long-range has a gross capacity of 82kWh, but the useable capacity is 75kWh.

Great video Ped very informative and it was so easy to understand for those of us of advanced years and thanks to Moggy

Spot on observations, our 2016 Tesla X P100 w/140k miles gets 249mi range vs 260mi when new- as predicted. Had many naysayers tell me it would die after 100k miles, battery would be shot, etc etc and so far, it’s been the best running, most reliable car we’ve ever owned. We have 2 Model X’s and no plans to ever part with them. Also own ICE vehicles so I’m no Tesla sellout- just pragmatic car owners.

Well done, mate. It would be interesting to watch this video in 20 years time and see what has happened to the myths.

Interesting video, good to hear actual facts about batteries and the motors, I’m still doubtful EV alone is the only mobility solution for more reasons than longevity of the components. Happy motoring 🎉

Still a mystery why anyone would spend a fortune to wipe off half the value of their classic car,crazy!

Absolutely brilliant video. Very well explained. Well done.

Genuinely excellent video and very informative. Also, it was pitched just right for the non-scientific folk, like me. This has genuinely changed my mind
