Study Finds Just 2.5% Of EVs Had Their Battery Replaced It’s right there were problems with batteries. But it was on the beginning. With the arrival of new batteries, the fear of battery failure is less and less justified. Recent study suggests that this shouldn’t really be a concern if your EV was built after 2015. Recurrent Auto has looked at over 20,000 EVs and found that, on average, just 2.5% of vehicles had their batteries replaced. The new study found that battery replacement rates for EVs built before 2015 are as high as 13%, but for vehicles from 2016 or newer, they drop to 1% or less. The oldest EVs included in the study were from 2011, and about one in three needed a new battery, but this was due to several factors, not just their age. Some older EVs have air-cooled batteries with no thermal management and suffer even more degradation. Batteries in newer EVs not only have improved chemistries that help them last longer and take frequent fast charging better. Their thermal management systems are considerably more effective and they are better at staving off accelerated battery degradation. Recurrent also found that battery packs capacity grew by 122% between 2015 and 2022. Do you have fear of the batteries?

The battery will last longer than the car ⚡️ Another EV battery myth debunked. New research shows that electric vehicle batteries can last over 20 years, often outlasting the vehicle itself. Analysis of 5,000 EV’s revealed an impressive degradation rate of just 1.8% per year, with top-performing models seeing only a 1% decline. This is down from 2.3% in a study by Geotab earlier this year, which shows battery technology is improving all the time. This data, covering 1.5 million days of use, highlights how battery health has improved by 22% in the last five years. High-use EV’s didn’t experience significant additional degradation, offering great news for fleets and individuals alike. As battery technology advances, confidence in EV’s continues to grow, with fleet operators saving an average of £13,279 per vehicle over seven years when switching to electric. With more chargers being installed across the UK daily, the convenience of charging at home and price parity now very real, now is the time to consider making the switch to an EV. #ev #electriccar #electricvehicle #evcharging #evnews #netzero #sustainability #greenerfuture #batteries

A great write-up by Zoe Kleinman about the UK-based Nyobolt battery technology, which can charge an #EV from the all-important 10%-80% battery state of charge in only 4 minutes 37 seconds. If such technology is adopted and scales, it could help ease concerns about charging times. It can also support an increased utilisation of charging infrastructure, helping the business case for the ultra-fast DC chargers which would be needed to support such charging speeds, alongside any necessary grid reinforcement. PS, although slightly technical, it's really useful to reference the capacity of battery being charged from 10-80% (otherwise, it's like saying someone filled up a bucket up with water in 5 seconds, without stating its size). After a bit of digging, it's a 35kWh battery, which is similar in capacity to ones in the Honda e, Mini, etc. #electricvehicles #EVcharging https://lnkd.in/e-p9e2CA

A global survey finds that 9 in 10 EV owners will stick to a battery-powered model when they trade in their car.

Study Shows Modern EV Batteries Rarely Fail. The stats were worrying initially, but things improved significantly after 2015 In the beginning, when a limited number of models were available, up to several percent of vehicles ended with a battery failure. According to the data, the worst model year was 2011 with a 7.5% failure rate (aside from recalls). In the next few years, it was 1.6-4.4%, which indicates that several percent of EV users were affected by a battery failure. As we can see in the chart, starting in 2016, there was a step change in the battery replacements due to failures (excluding recalls). It was as high as 0.5% starting in 2016, but in most cases, it was from 0.1% to 0.3%. That's an order of magnitude improvement. According to the article, most of the issues would have been covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The improvements come from learning and more mature technologies, including active liquid battery cooling, new strategies of thermal battery management as well as new battery chemistries. We could probably add many more things, as virtually everything become more advanced with very strict quality control.

This is great news for anyone considering an EV! The myth that electric vehicle batteries degrade quickly is clearly being debunked with the latest research. A battery that lasts over 20 years, often outliving the car itself, shows how far the technology has come. With only a 1.8% annual degradation rate, and some top models seeing just 1%, it's clear that EVs are more reliable than ever. The fact that high-use EVs aren't experiencing significant degradation is especially encouraging for fleet owners, who can save significantly over time. With continuous improvements in battery technology and an expanding charging infrastructure, now is the perfect time to make the switch to electric.

#electricvehicles are a beacon of hope in our pursuit of a sustainable future, yet the latest slowing trends in global EVs sales show that the journey to a widespread adoption is filled with roadblocks: ⚡️#charging infrastructure: The availability and reliability of charging stations remain critical hurdles, especially in less densely populated territories. 🔌#batterylife and range: #rangeanxiety is still a deterrent as consumers seek confidence that their EV can go the distance without frequent #recharging. ⚡️Cost and affordability: While we are witnessing price decreases, an EV cost is still too high for many in spite of inventives and #subsidies, resulting in slowing #adoption trends. 🔌Charging time: #fastcharging technology is improving, but the time required to recharge an EV is still longer than #refueling a traditional car. ⚡️Battery sustainability and #recycling: As the EV market grows, the #environmentalimpact of sustainable battery production needs to be adressed to lead to effective recycling programs. 🔌#consumer awareness and education: Misconceptions about EVs persist and comprehensive education and transparent information are necessary to build consumer confidence. ⚡️#gridcapacity and #renewableenergy integration: #upgrades to power grids necessary to fulfill the global energy #demand must come from #sustainable sources. Check out this article from BBC News for more insights on the deceleration of EV sales.

Electric car batteries are seen as a possible option for increasing energy storage capacity, though increased wear and tear seems not to be as big of a question as it should be. Electric cars only have so many charge/discard cycles and battery systems aren’t cheap.
