‘Estimated’ Lifespan of Electric Vehicle Batteries Announced

While the world is witnessing the electric transformation rapidly, the automobile sector is one of the sectors where this transformation is seen in the most concrete way. As gas tanks continue to be replaced by batteries, one issue continues to puzzle many people: How long do electric car batteries last?

On the other hand, since we are at the beginning of the electric transformation, we can answer this question beyond estimates and calculations. there is no data. However, there are some explanations when it comes to the estimations about this period. Here is one of these statements, given by Tesla’s co-founder today.

“Batteries should last 15 years”

Tesla’s co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, JB Straubel, told CERAWeek 2022 that electric car batteries are in normal use. He has 15 years of life you think shared. Straubel stated that the lifespan will of course vary according to usage, while adding that it is unlikely that people will put new batteries in their old vehicles.

The prediction in question is of great importance, especially since it came out of Straubel’s mouth. Straubel, who was responsible for battery development at Tesla until 2019, is also closely interested in the lifespan of electric car batteries for his new company, Redwood Materials. So your guess is not only important, a consistent estimate It can be said that it is.
