???????? Our Matteo Valenza tries to dispel some myths about battery degradation in electric cars. Contrary to popular belief, battery degradation is not that rapid, as demonstrated by research by fleet management company Geotab. ???????? In the sample of electric cars examined, the average annual loss of battery capacity was 1.8%. This means that at this rate, after 12 years, they still retain over 80% of their capacity. ???????? Factors such as climate and fast charging influence battery life, with those used in hot climates degrading more quickly. However, most manufacturers offer warranties of up to 8 years or 160,000 km. ???????? In reality, it is unlikely that you will have to replace the entire battery pack (with the associated expense of tens of thousands of euros) since, in the event of failure, individual modules are usually repaired.
