Hello everyone
I've been looking for a used I-pace for a while. I found one that ticked all the boxes like low mileage (less than 3.000 miles), relatively new (September 2019) and specs I want. It's also a Jaguar Approved car from a Jaguar dealer, so this minimizes any risk.
However, when I asked for a detailed battery report, this is what I received:
This is an average of 85% and also quite unbalanced (82-89%).
To me, this doesn't look normal for a car a little over a year old and with such low mileage.
I know it's probably been sitting in the lot for a while (I guess without any charge cycles recently besides being charged before the test) and this should affect battery health. I also know some of that "damage" might be reverted after it's been charged/uncharged a few times.
But still, even when I take that into account, I wasn't expecting such a low number and I don't know how big of a difference the above might make.
I've also found another car which is quite cheaper because it has 27.000 miles. I preferred the "new" one, but if its battery is not in a corresponding "like new" state, then I guess I'll prefer the cheaper option.
What do you think?
