Real-world study reveals electric car batteries last over 13 years

newatlas.com

A new study reveals electric vehicle batteries degrade slowly, lasting over 13 years with nearly 75% capacity remaining. Geotab analyzed over 22,700 EVs, finding an average annual degradation rate of 2.3%. This longevity supports EVs for fleet and individual use. Degradation varies by model and charging habits, with DC fast charging accelerating it. Newer battery technologies may further extend EV lifespans.
