The average lifespan of an electric vehicle (EV) battery varies depending on several factors including usage conditions, charging habits, and technological advancements. Here’s an overview of the typical lifespan of EV batteries:
- General Expectation: Most electric vehicle batteries are expected to last between 8 and 12 years under more extreme conditions, with some potentially lasting longer if well-maintained.
- Moderate Conditions: Under moderate conditions, with careful maintenance, EV batteries can last between 15 and 20 years. Real-world data suggests that some batteries may exceed this range.
- Mileage: In terms of mileage, EV batteries are projected to last around 200,000 miles or more, with some reports suggesting they could go much farther.
- Maintenance Tips: To extend battery life, it is recommended to keep the charge level between 20% and 80%, avoid extreme temperatures, and limit fast charging when possible.
- Technological Advancements: Manufacturers are continuously improving battery technologies, promising even longer lifespans in the future, with some aiming for a million-mile battery.
