Electric Car Battery Life Expectancy

Models like the new Nissan ARIYA offer impressive all-electric ranges that’ll help Lancaster and Leominster drivers save on fuel. Batteries for modern electric vehicles can be recharged easily at home or while on the go around Fitchburg. That being said, no battery can last forever. If you’re planning to purchase a new EV, you can expect its battery to last for 10 to 20 years. Read on to learn more about electric battery car life, and what you can do to increase its lifespan as much as possible. 

 

 

Why Does Electric Car Battery Life Expectancy Matter?

Compared to gas-powered cars, EVs are better for the environment, because they produce very few to zero emissions. Car batteries are usually the most expensive part of an electric vehicle and can cost around $5,000 to $15,000 to replace. The Nissan ARIYA car battery, for example, comes with warranty coverage for up to 100,000 miles or 8 years (whichever occurs first). This means you can travel in confidence, and you can get a brand-new battery at a reduced cost if something goes wrong. 

Maximizing an Electric Car’s Battery Life

Even if your car is still under warranty, you don’t want to have to schedule a battery replacement way ahead of schedule. It can be a time-consuming process, and you won’t be able to use your car until the replacement is complete. There are ways to extend battery life, so you can get the most out of your investment. Here are a few tips to keep in mind to prevent your battery from dying too early: 

  1. Avoid charging your EV overnight, and try to keep the battery life between 20% to 80%. 
  2. Keep your car out of the heat whenever you can as it can decrease the battery’s total capacity. Intense cold can also drain a battery’s charge. 
  3. DC Fast Charging Stations were designed to charge an EV quickly, but avoid overusing them. Charge your battery slowly whenever you can. 
  4. Try to keep your commutes the same length and distance every day. Using a lot of power within a short amount of time can be damaging to the battery over time.
