"In stark contrast to the fears and propaganda aiming to undermine the
electromobility transition, a new study of actual electric vehicle (EV) usage
reveals less battery degradation than previously observed, with the “vast
majority of batteries” likely able to outlast the usable life of the vehicle.
Canadian telematics company Geotab recently published an update to a 2019
analysis of EV battery degradation with updated data and analysis from fleet
usage.
In the original blog post published five years ago, Geotab found EV batteries
degraded at an average of 2.3 per cent per year which, at the time, was
nevertheless “surprisingly good”.
The latest analysis – which boasts a sample of 10,000 EVs – indicated that EV
batteries have improved in the intervening years, degrading at only 1.8 per
cent per year on average.
Geotab concluded that EV batteries could last 20 years or more at this
degradation rate. If an EV battery degrades at 1.8 per cent per year, it would
still have over an 80 per cent state of health after 12 years – “generally
beyond the usual life of a fleet vehicle.”"
