“”A new study by Geotab reveals that modern electric vehicle batteries can last up to 20 years with minimal degradation, significantly outpacing the 14-year average lifespan of gas-powered cars in the US.
Analyzing data from over 10,000 EVs, researchers found batteries lose only about 1.8 percent of capacity per year, and failure rates remain below 0.5 percent, challenging long-held myths about EV reliability and replacement costs.
Charging habits and climate play key roles in battery longevity, with slower charging and moderate temperatures helping extend life, while newer chemistries like LFP offer more flexibility without compromising durability.””<\/p>\n\n\n\n
