MG4 Battery Degradation

Was doing the usual trawl through YouTube and found this MG4 battery video which gave some real World data

And that's the cobalt battery. LFP has x2 as much life expectancy.

irrelevant as both will outlast the working life of the car where other components will fail beyond resosnable cost of repair well before either battery becomes an issue.

Depends on the amount of use.

For taxi, long-distance sales, delivery driving and other intensive users the NMC battery life might be an issue. Trucks will use LFP for this reason. Though NMC lifespan matches an engine I would expect.

However, for most people who pootle around their town the longevity of battery isn't an issue at all. If anything it is a shame not to use them more than they are!

Such as? For what I've researched the two components that are likely to retire your car are either the battery or the transmission. There's nothing else.

There are reports of MG4 with NMC batteries having 90%+ SOH with 250k km driven.

What? That's absolutly insane.
