Stanford Report: Electric Vehicle Batteries Last Longer Than Predicted

The Surprising Truth About EV Batteries: How Everyday Driving Saves Your Charge

Stanford University’s SLAC-Stanford Battery Center reveals new insights into electric vehicle (EV) battery life. Real-world driving conditions, not controlled lab tests, significantly extend battery lifespan by about a third. EV batteries thrive on the variable stop-and-go nature of daily driving, enhancing their resilience. The study’s findings could increase the longevity and resale value of EVs, benefiting owners economically. Recurrent aids …

Stanford Report: Electric Vehicle Batteries Last Longer Than Predicted

PALO ALTO, Calif. – Scientists out of Stanford University’s SLAC-Stanford Battery Center have found that electric vehicle batteries may last much longer than previously thought. In their new study, published in the journal Nature Energy, researchers found that the common way EV batteries have been tested — by quickly repeating a cycle of steady battery drain, followed by immediate recharging — may underestimate these batteries’ lifespans, The Co…
