The battery is the most expensive part of an electric car – and it has an expiry date, because its capacity decreases over the years. The ADAC has now determined how much this makes up and tested the battery after four years and 160,000 kilometers. In VW, as with many other manufacturers, there is a guarantee for 160,000 kilometers or eight years – depending on what is achieved first. After this (running) time, the battery has to have a capacity…

After putting the electric hatchback through a grueling four-year, 99,400 miles…
The ADAC is conducting a long-term test of a 2020 VW ID.3 and is now reporting on its experiences with the electric car over the first 160,000 kilometers. The results are largely positive, and the Volkswagen's battery is still in good condition, with a remaining capacity of 91 percent. "Not only the battery and charging technology, but also the classic automotive virtues (chassis, steering, seats) make the VW a pleasure to drive," the ADAC state…
