How Long Do Electric Car Batteries Last?

Blink Charging

The first batteries could power vehicles to “neck-breaking” speeds of up to 14 mph. An EV doesn’t use only one Li-ion (lithium-ion) battery, though. Li-ion batteries have been around since 1991, but only in 2008 were applied to cars. In 2008, the Tesla Roadster hit the road, ushering in a new era for EVs.
