According to our data, the simple answer is that the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle and will never need to be replaced. If an average EV battery degrades at 1.8% per year, it will still have over 80% state of health after 12 years, generally beyond the usual life of a fleet vehicle.
Consumers’ real-world stop-and-go driving of electric vehicles benefits batteries more than the steady use simulated in almost all laboratory tests of new battery designs, Stanford-SLAC study finds. The way people actually drive and charge their electric vehicles may make batteries last longer than researchers have estimated. | Cube3D
We reported on its last study in 2019, which showed 2.3% EV battery degradation per year. 5 years later, the company now has a lot more data, and it just released a new study that shows the average degradation per year is actually 1.8%. The company believes that it could translate to EV batteries lasting 20 years:
The average age of a vehicle on the road in the US today is over 12 years old (that is the average or mean age). The rest of the study is basically statistical nonsense. It extrapolates a straight-line degradation (known to be incorrect) using early life data. The batteries will last much longer than 15 years and will not lose 30% in that time.
For many EV-curious buyers, the fear of spending thousands on a battery replacement at some point could understandably keep them from going electric. But a study done in March by Recurrent, a Seattle-based company that analyzes used electric car batteries, shows this is much less likely to happen than you might think.
Geotab, an automotive telematics company, is using its in-depth access to EV data to track battery health. We reported on its last study in 2019, which showed 2.3% EV battery degradation per year. 5 years later, the company now has a lot more data, and it just released a new study that shows the average degradation per year is actually 1.8%.

Existing EV batteries may last up to 40% longer than expected
While battery prices have plummeted about 90% over the past 15 years, batteries still account for almost a third of the price of a new EV. So, current and future EV commuters may be happy to learn ...
ELI5: Why do batteries lose charge when they''re not being used?
That''s why you can easily get devices like digital watches and smoke detectors that easily last 10 years on a charge. When batteries self discharge at a measurable rate it usually means the battery was manufactured poorly and has a leakage path internally. Cheaply made batteries aren''t too uncommon, but it''s not that the chemical reaction is always going. I only really have …
