A new study analyzed 500,000 battery tests from electric vehicles and concluded that their durability is significantly higher than previous estimates. The research revealed that at 150,000 kilometers traveled, the average battery capacity loss is only around 10%.
The results place Hyundai and Kia as the manufacturers with the best performance in terms of battery longevity. The two South Korean brands stood out in the study, surpassing most of their market competitors.
Tesla, one of the brands most associated with electric vehicles, positioned itself in the middle of the results table. This data contrasts with the common perception that the company would be one of the leaders in battery technology.
The study provides concrete evidence that consumers can expect a longer lifespan for their electric vehicle batteries than previously thought, which may contribute to greater adoption of this technology.
