Can confirm. My dad’s went from 115 or whatever the rated mileage was to 60-70 miles within 2 years. It would struggle to go 40 miles if the heater was on.
I don’t know if they make those batteries out of packing peanuts or what, but it killed any possibility of him owning an EV for a long time.
My mother is 65 and ran a marathon last month.
I wouldn’t want her to try and do parkour or play football, but someone who exercises can absolutely stay fit well past middle age.
