Research Study - EV Batteries Will do about 30% Better than Expected

Existing EV batteries may last up to 40% longer than expected | ScienceDaily

Typical battery use by private persons will perform much better than expected. They will more 'time out' than wear out. Most vehicles will never need a battery replacement. Not true of buses and delivery vans.

A lead author say a lead foot is good.
I'm sure it is still hell on the motors.

Sounds like the old "Italian tune up" for EVs. Just trying to keep my battery healthy officer!

That is what I been doing and it has nothing to do with a heavy foot it is all about me trying to extend the battery life Last time I checked the battery SOH was 97.5% after 3.5 years. So if OBD is accurate not bad at all.

If your daily commute is never over 100 miles and you have 250 miles of range those batteries should last you awhile. Should even still work at 30% degradation. At 50% degradation you have 25 miles left at the end of the day; theoretically. Only time range matters in an EV here is on long distance trips. For a commuter it is a no brainer. Buy a cheap one and start saving.
