Electric vehicle battery wear is a constant and legitimate concern of those who own or want to purchase an electric vehicle. With the help of a specialized test patented by the German organization DEKRA, I tested a Volkswagen ID.3 1ST Edition, which has almost 50,000 km on board and is two years old.
