Electric vehicles now match traditional cars for longevity, study finds

Battery-powered electric vehicles are now more reliable and can match the lifespans of traditional cars and vans with petrol and diesel engines—marking a pivotal moment in the drive towards sustainable transportation, a study reveals.

The closing longevity gap between battery electric vehicles and internal combustion vehicles in Great Britain

Electric vehicles are increasingly being adopted in Great Britain and other parts of the world, driven by the perception that they offer a cost-effective alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles while reducing emissions. However, a key element that underpins this perception is the longevity of electric vehicles, which remains relatively under researched. Here we show that although early battery electric vehicles (BEVs) exhibited lower …

Electric vehicles now match gas (petrol) and diesel cars for lifespan

Battery-powered electric vehicles now last as long as their gas (petrol) and diesel counterparts, a new study involving researchers from the UK, US, and Switzerland has shown. Their study also showed that electric vehicles are more reliable than cars and vans that consume fossil fuels. This is a pivotal moment in the quest towards sustainable transportation, the researchers said. The team gathered and analyzed data on 300 million test records fr…

Electric cars now as durable as traditional vehicles, study finds

Electric cars have come a long way in recent years and can now match the lifespans of petrol and diesel vehicles, according to a new study. This marks a major milestone in the shift toward sustainable transportation. The study, published in Nature Energy, analyzed nearly 300 million MOT test records from the UK between 2005 […] The post Electric cars now as durable as traditional vehicles, study finds appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.

A major UK study shows that electric cars now outlast conventional petrol and diesel vehicles. A research team analysed almost 300 million roadworthiness reports from all vehicles on UK roads between 2005 and 2022. Their findings, published in the scientific journal Nature Energy, show that modern electric vehicles last an average of 18.4 years and […] More science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl .
