While battery life span varies by manufacturer and age, in general you can expect new batteries to rival and often exceed the longevity of drivetrain components on internal combustion engine (ICE) Vehicles. A lithium-ion battery’s high energy density means it produces more power for its size, making it ideal for an electric car.

That car, Leohold noted, had a lead-acid battery pack with about 24 kWh of energy, was propelled by wheel hub motors and had a range of about 50 km—“ not that much different than today. It will not be enough to improve the efficiency of conventional engines or to launch alternative fuel concepts, Leohold said.

When considering the typical 3-5 year lifespan of a lead-acid battery in a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, many drivers assume that an EV battery requires regular replacement. With an extended lifespan, they reduce the need for replacements, minimize environmental impacts, and lower ownership costs.
