The amount of writing about electric vehicles in mainstream media these days is staggering compared to when I decided to make the shift from fossil-fueled vehicles to electric vehicles in 2016. From a deep dive
arguing that EVs win out, but here we will look at the daily stuff.
Secondly, a couple of years back, I prematurely lost a net metering agreement , which forced me to change my tactics, and thus I shifted to a scheme of spot price on electricity. This way, with effective use of timing my charge in conjunction with when my 4 kW solar array outputs the most, I can keep electricity cost very low. On a windy day in Denmark, electricity costs can even go negative! Very often at night, prices are very low.
A word on the battery, because that’s what everybody wants to know about: How long will it last? In Europe, the long-range rear-wheel-drive version was specified at 600 km WLTP. From the app screenshots above from new, then to 50,000 km , and lastly to 100,000 km , we can conclude that degradation was about 5% halfway, and about 9% up till now .
I find the overall simplicity very compelling. Some people complain about missing buttons, knobs, and screens, but that just means fewer things that can break, and again, let me drive the point home as to why I invested in this unconventional product:There are a few important points about maintenance, if you want to make sure that running costs are kept to a minimum. You can easily forget to do anything, because you will not be called in for checkups.
A complete set of discs is costly and I am pretty sure the little savings I get by not using them so much is not enough in comparison. Also, I would hate to discard a set of perfectly safe and effective discs because of tiny specks of corrosion. You might argue they are not as safe, but that’s the thing — in the inspection centers, the brakes are tested vigorously, and that should be enough no matter how the discs look, unless they are worn too thin of course.
