If you've been considering switching to an electric vehicle (EV), you may have heard the claim that EV batteries have a short lifespan and need to be replaced frequently. However, this is simply not true!

EV batteries experience minimal degradation, or loss of capacity, over time.

In fact, most EV batteries will retain at least 70-80% of their original capacity after 8 years of use.

Batteries feature a 2000 cycles capacity which amounts to more than one million kilometres.

If the battery in your EV does happen to reach the end of its lifespan, it is relatively easy to replace.

Many EV manufacturers offer battery replacement programs, and the cost of replacing the battery is becoming close and sometimes less than what you would pay for a new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle.
