how long do ev batteries last

EV batteries typically last between 8 to 15 years or around 160,000 to 240,000 kilometres, but your mileage may vary depending on usage, climate, and charging habits. Most manufacturers offer warranties covering around 8 years or 160,000 km, which is a fair indication of expected lifespan. Over time, battery capacity degrades, leading to reduced driving range, but your car won’t suddenly turn into a brick. Common issues include:

• Gradual capacity loss
• Reduced range in cold weather
• Longer charging times as battery ages
