1,20,000 km with my 2020 ZS EV: How I calculated battery degradation | Team-BHP
He buys a car in 2018 and says used it for 5 years. Then buy a car in 2020 and says used it for 3 years. And then buys another can in 2021.
The numbers just don’t add up. Just like the way these numbers are represented in the title
Well it is possible that he has multiple cars and that they are all seeing use between him and his family. Hence him buying and driving a new car while still owning an old one could make sense
What’s the deal with Indias numbers? 1,50,000?
I’m not terribly familiar myself, but if I know correctly, they have a term called lakh, meaning one hundred thousand, like a dozen means twelve in English.
They use it extensively, so Indian English is not primarily using thousand and million, but thousand and lakh, so if they saw 150k, their instinct is to look at it as 1.5 lakh, hence the separation.
So it’s how they write 150,000.
