EV battery lifespan: Most EV batteries last 15-20 years, with an average degradation rate of about 1.8% per year under moderate conditions.
Impact of charging methods: Frequent use of DC fast charging can accelerate battery degradation, especially in hot climates. Level 2 charging is gentler on the battery.
Best practices for battery health: To extend EV battery life, keep the state of charge 20%-80%, minimize exposure to extreme temperatures and limit fast charging when possible.
