Unless you’re travelling 200+ miles every day and assuming a 20% reduction in range after 8-10 years, most EVs start with ~225-250 miles of range, so at 80%, which is pretty much the realistic worst case scenario, that’s still around 180-200 miles of range.
I just feel the need to remind people when they mention degradation as a concern, that a degraded battery after a decade doesn’t just turn into a paperweight. It just goes slightly less far.

I know, but thanks for taking the time to put that together.
For sure and fair enough.
