What Is the Lifespan of an EV Battery?

The lifespan of an electric vehicle (EV) battery depends on several factors such as the battery chemistry, usage patterns, temperature and charging habits. Generally, the lifespan of an EV battery is measured by the number of charging cycles it can go through before its capacity drops below a certain threshold. It’s important to note that an EV battery can be affected by various factors such as fast charging, extreme temperatures, and frequent deep discharges. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for charging and maintenance to maximize its lifespan. How Long Does an Electric Car Battery Last? According to current industry expectations, EV batteries are projected to last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles, or about 15 to 20 years. Most EV batteries today are guaranteed to last at least 100,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first. Manufacturers offer warranties on their EV batteries that cover them for a specific number of years or miles. VinFast offers an extensive 10-year/125,000-mile warranty, is one of the best in the industry—and it even covers batteries. How Does EV Longevity Compare With Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles? The lifespan of an EV should typically meet or exceed that of an internal…

EVs and Charging Etiquette

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular as a more sustainable mode of transportation. With the growing number of EV owners, it is essential to understand the importance of charging etiquette to ensure a smooth and stress-free charging experience for all. In this article, we will provide tips and guidelines to help EV owners practice proper charging etiquette, including how to manage time, monitor charging progress, and avoid common mistakes like unplugging other vehicles or always aiming for 100% battery charge. By following these guidelines, EV owners can help create a positive charging culture and promote a more sustainable future. Charging Spots Are for Charging To ensure a smooth and courteous charging experience for all, it is important to use charging points solely for their intended purpose: charging. If your EV requires immediate charging, park it in the designated charging space. Once your charging is complete, promptly move your vehicle to make room for the next EV owner. Avoid treating charging stations as parking spots, as this can inconvenience other EV drivers. Utilize smartphone apps to monitor your charging progress and receive notifications when your vehicle is fully charged, allowing you to move it outside. For charging spots with waitlists,…
