The owner videos I've seen on YouTube most of them have the original battery, they lose range though. I've not heard a 3-5 year replacement?

For what it’s worth, my eGolf is a 2015 that I drive everyday. Still at about 85% capacity and 100% usable.

Gen 1 leafs had a battery pack that needed to be replaced around 100k miles. The newer ones seem to double that. Depending on the miles u drive a Gen 1 seems like 5 years was pretty in line with its lifespan for a typical VT driver doing 20k a year.
