Tesla has released a rare update on the battery degradation in its electric cars. The automaker claims its batteries only lose about 12% of capacity after 200,000 miles. Battery degradation, which represents the loss in capacity and range over time with increasing mileage, is one of the biggest concerns of new electric vehicle buyers.
The automaker claims its batteries only lose about 12% of capacity after 200,000 miles. Battery degradation, which represents the loss in capacity and range over time with increasing mileage, is one of the biggest concerns of new electric vehicle buyers. It’s also an essential part of the equation to make electric cars more sustainable.
Like all batteries, the cells that power an EV will degrade over time. However, our data shows that while battery degradation in EVs is an issue, it’s not as bad as you might think. In our survey, we asked over 3,000* owners of EVs to tell us by how much the range of their car had decreased since they bought it. *Source: Latest Which?
According to the company, the average battery capacity loses after 200,000 miles (322,000 km) is 12 percent of the original capacity. The statement is very general, but there is a chart with Model S/Model X, which suggests that we are talking solely about this platform.
Only recently has it become possible to study EV battery range degradation effectively, with large enough numbers of electric vehicles beginning to hit the 100,000-mile mark and beyond. Previously published papers pointed to batteries losing 10% range after 200,000 miles, while some individuals have reported a 2% to 3% drop per year.
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.

EV Charging Efficiency: Why Are There Energy Losses? | go-e
Electrical energy from the charging station is converted into chemical energy in the lithium-ion battery. The conversion process causes heat and as a result power losses. Luckily, most electric car battery packs, Nissan LEAF aside, come with a thermal management system to reduce energy loss when the battery is heating up or cooling down.

Does Running the A/C or Heat Lower Your EV Range?
The battery analysis firm Recurrent released a study at the end of 2021 that details cold weather and EV range. According to its findings, results vary for each model, and older EVs like the Chevy Volt can experience a big loss of range. However, newer vehicles from Tesla, Audi, and Nissan are much, much lower, often under 10%.

Your battery will degrade in storage, certainly significantly in 15 years. How much depends on conditions. The mechanisms of lithium-ion degradation are shown here. If you want to put them into storage, the most common recommendation is to charge/discharge them to about 50%. Too much or too little charge on a stored battery cause it to degrade ...
