As a datapoint, my BMW was averaging 8L/100km vs 13.3kWh/100km on my Model 3.
Similar driving patterns for both.
If using fast DC charging, I get 20% to 80% in about 20 minutes, which gives me additional 200+ KM range.
If you’re not driving long distances all the time, a quick 5-10 minute zap should be enough to last you until the end of the day and you can then slow charge at home.

Everyone’s use case will be different. EV requires some forward planning but I suppose it’ll only get better as infra improves.

the planning is also minimal la. especially in the city and mostly within your routinely travelled routes it's not so much of an issue, i'm sure you as an owner would know. the planning is mostly long distance travel.

it's usually those that don't own an EV and have no idea where and what chargers are around that have the range anxiety

Got one g30 530e owner asking his battery degrading too much heading 5th year. From purely battery driven up to 50km when brand new to 15km on 5th year. How Tesla able to make theirs longer life ?

most 530e owners i know hardly or don't charge the battery. which kills it faster

Got highly interested with used XC90 which also PHEV run on batteries.
But seriously with these depreciated value on PHEV cars, you know things are not simple as ABC.

volvo xc90 batteries are not that expensive i think got like 6 or 8 batteries inside the pack. u can replace the ones that are failing. if not mistaken about 6k for one battery. lasts quite long too from what i've seen.

airmatic if fail can repair. which doesn't last that long maybe a year or 2 at best or replace and peace of mind for the new 3-5 years

That's what SC told me as well regarding the battery, should be okay because battery can't broken 2 or 3 at once.

But XC90 common issue not only EDAS, Air Sus, AC Compressor etc
1 year fail each 1 can la, but 2 or 3 items i boleh mampus

My heart wants XC90 but my brain opt for CX8

sorry again hijacking this EV terek

all this is wear and tear. of all the things you list. it's quite easily fixed la no worries. in fact if you go mazda the parts are not that cheap
