Doesn't fuel efficiency go down, though? I'd say that's roughly equivalent to the battery losing effectiveness. And generally requires fixing or outright replacing key components to get back to par.

True, the scale isn't quite the same, but the technology is also much newer. You'd agree that fuel efficiency, much like battery efficiency, does go down, though?
