Testing cars as they age is a good idea. Cars don't stay new. And it would be interesting to see which brands last the longest. I'm especially interested in the chinese cars in that regard. Also if something goes wrong with the cars; what typically breaks and how much does it cost?

The new 2021 Soul is slightly larger but has a much larger battery. You should compare both.

My early 2016 soul ev with similar KMs has 19% degradation according to soulEV Spy, consistent with your test. bought it early last year in DE for 15k EUR used (full spec, at that point degradation was less). It's still a great daily driver as I don't drive long distances during the week. Chademo is somewhat limiting, but charge speed is great ( up to 46kW on 50kW charger), and there are still plenty of Chademo chargers in my area of Germany (usually triple chargers). And warranty on battery is 7 years, if services were done correctly.

Maybe to much to ask but since you love excel sheets . Each EV has their selected supplier which supplied a battery with a defined cell chemistry and BMS and W/WO thermal management system. With all your skills you could actually find out which supplier that had the best battery quality for long term usage. (In normal Norway weather that is of course. The same car placed in Madrid could end up with a different degradation result since it will be exposed to a lot higher temperatures over its lifetime). Love your work.

Too expensive for so little range. Better to buy secondhand petrol or diesel, and save money and you then have a large range, early ev s are not worth buying.

The low milage is likly the cause of the high degradation. I bought a 58,900 Mitsubishi PHEV which was down to 84% after daily use and frequent recharging this went upto 99% before dropping slowly to 80%'ish at 190,000 miles and 6.5 years old. So given a few weeks of use and some miles under it's wheels I would expect it to also.improve dramatically.

Hi Bjørn, I have a 2013 E-Up I have NEVER used DC charging. If it is interesting for you/us. You could do a test on it? I have done a couple of them my self, but not sure if I am doing them right. It's not @teslabjørn verified. :D

Good to find out how good these cars are when they are five years old or more (certainly in the UK many private buyers don't buy new). Degradation will matter much less with newer cars that have a good range to start out with (20% loss from 400km range is still 320km).

@Dazzle9999 it is wasteful to disregard them on those grounds. Many people don't need huge ranges to go to work or the shops and the cars can still have a viable future.

Current claasic evs are not worth buying, their range is almost unusable, overpriced toys. Better to wait another five years and then see the latest evs on the secondhand market, especially in expensive Norway.

Only "problem" is you dont know how these cars where used to make a general statement. If the previous owner charged to 80% and didnt discharge too far vs charge to 100% to 10% everytime, that makes a big difference.

Im very interested in older EV battery degradation. I think now, when time is passed enaugh, this topic can be adressed and it could be interesting for many people. Classic Huyndai Ioniq battery degratation could be very interesting, as it was one of efficient EVs of its time.

Yes to Old EV tests... Now cars like this, the leaf 30, original 28kwh Ioniq, in some cases 40kwh Zoe, are coming to good used prices now. I can get a good one of these in the UK for around 10-11k now. Very good value used EV.

Hi Jørgen ... The word you need is "great". The word "grate" typically has different meanings either: grate or grating to describe an annoyance like a uncomfortable sound. Or grate as in what you might find in a fire place, a metal grate that holds the fuel. Or grate as in to grate or shred food on a metal implement with slicing holes cut into it (grater). Good old English language!

Maybe I missed something; at approx 7:40 ''Scan-my-Tesla'' indicated: 71.4kwh nominal full pack; 77.8% full pack when new & 8.23% degradation Your results seems inline with this. Why not trusting the BMS? You also used 73kwh for a full pack new. Is that usable VS the 77.8 kwh? Where do you get the usable value for a new battery?

Bjorn do you think the outside temperature affects how much available capacity the LR model 3 has? I’ve done two tests. First test, outside temp was a little below 0c preheated car for an hour before an uninterrupted drive. I was only able to use 62kwh before being nearly at 0. Was concerned it meant significant degradation. Later I conducted same test at 18c. Was able to use over 70kwh before running out. Really compounds winter range loss....higher consumption and lower available capacity. But my test method may have been poor.

I see “regen” is more than double in this car comparing with McHammer. That will suggest a higher degree of city driving with many stop and go -> many small charge discharge cycles. Could that be a factor contributing to battery degradation as well? Cheers, and keep up good work!

maybe DC charging is not a key factor in degradation.... very interesting, its necessary to test more cars for better conclusions
20 timer sidenFriedemann Gädeke
My Model 3 from 2019 has almost the same values, but charged much more DC. Degradation seems to be more related to time and kilometers driven.
