30K miles is more then most people put on their motorcycles, and at that point, the batteries are still good until 90% capacity. Thats what the specs say anyways.
True, but you gotta watch the fast charging, as was mentioned a couple of posts earlier.
"Blink DC fast chargers, which use 480 volts and can charge a vehicle in under 30 minutes."
Lithium batteries don't like heat build-up during charge...
Tech keeps getting better, though...
Maybe the cars have something to help with cooling.
I feel a research session coming on...
