Known issues

Low
EQB shares chassis with the gas GLB compact SUV; electrification is layered on rather than ground-up. Range is conservative versus the dedicated EVA platform.
Low
DC fast charging caps at 100 kW — slow by 2024 standards. This is platform-limited, not pack-defect.
Low
Three-row availability is rare in compact EVs; family buyers cross-shop EQB against EV9 and Volvo EX90 despite the smaller size.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 10 yr / 155k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.
