When considering electric vehicles for a commercial or government fleet, fleet owners and managers must always ask, “How much will this cost?” This means there is far less of a chance that a component will fail and leave an EV in the repair bay costing you time and money to repair. How Long Do EV Batteries Last?

Even with current lithium-ion technology, EV batteries showcase impressive durability and sustained energy retention. With an extended lifespan, they reduce the need for replacements, minimize environmental impacts, and lower ownership costs. However, an electric car’s lithium-ion battery may last as long as the vehicle itself.

The hybrid models available today use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short. Their solution to the cost of thenew-generation batteries is to separate them from the car itself.
