Reduced in kMs

My MG ZS ev use to give 265kms, but now after 2 years it gives 249kms. Have you noticed this behaviour? Is this a warranty issue?

Yes, battery degradation is expected in the first couple of years. I do not think you can claim it under warranty . You should ask your dealership to provide you battery state of health report with every service just to keep an eye on degradation.

Thanks for the information. I expected battery to degrade to after the warranty period. Bit disappointed!!!

If the 265 and 249 figures are accurate (both measured when the battery is fully charged, trip counters reset and everything off) then you have a 6% degradation (94% SOH) in the 2 years. The warranty allows for a 30% degradation after 7 years. I was down to about 92% SOH after 3 years in my Mk1 ZSEV before I sold it.
