So thatโs the end of the โhow long do the batteries lastโ argument
CATL to give 10 year - 600,000 mile battery warranty to 85% of capacity
So not that they will only last 600,000 miles, they will have at least 85% of capacity at 600k miles
Life expectancy is at least 16 years

Absolute rubbish 3SR will do 220-240 from its 320 quoted range at 70mph 4up so if coming from Blackburn you would charge at home before leaving and one 30min charge to get to 90% at other end possibly 5-10min as a 2nd charge at most on way back

@mymorristribe
Either range or charge speed, personally I prefer charge speed, keep the battery smaller, lighter, makes it more efficient for mi/kWh and better to drive
Fortunately that battery also allows 4C charging so 10-80% in 12-15min
