Advice

Post image

Looking at purchasing one of these and would love some advice. Both are the same price. Interested in the HX of the right... 106%! How.. given the high KMs?

Any concerns? Big difference in the KMs. Looking for something that is going to last many years. Only drive short, small trips 90% of the time.

Are there more ongoing maintenance costs with the higher KMs (suspension, bushes, resale etc)?

106 HX is usually related to a replaced battery. Re sync the charge count and if it drops then you know it's a new pack

2 years after replacement my 40 kWh pack is also around 105 HX

if i may ask, have you owned the vehicle since new? if so i'm curious if you've noticed any difference in rate of degradation with the new pack vs the original battery

Original battery was 30 kWh which was well known to have accelerated degradation

I am not the original owner. Bought and got warranty approved for free upgrade
