Geotab fleet average (not Niro-specific)
How we got this: No yearly Niro EV degradation figure found. AVILOO tests in Sweden found 97.25% average health for e-Niro 64 kWh cars over 100,000 km, but without car ages, so it cannot give a yearly rate. Geotab's fleet average (2.3%/yr across 21 make-models) is used.
