The worlds most popular vehicles the Tesla Model 3 & Model Y are less than 6 years old many are now getting to 400,000 miles and have >85% of range, motors and the gearbox are still like new. How long do BEV batteries last not enough time has passed to make a determination but IMHO (and Elon's) >300,000 miles or double ICE cars.

Some of those who champion ICE over EV often gloss over things too, such as huge oil tanker spills, or the massive amounts of Co2 emitted by tanker deliveries of fuel to gas/petrol stations, or the huge amounts of energy used to pump oil out of the ground before it even reaches a refinery....

An average car lasts 15-20 years while an ev last 10-15 years - that's actually really bad
@Brian-om2hh2 ай бұрын
Although - like a worn engine - you can have an EV battery pack refurbished for a fraction of the cost of fully replacing it. There are EV specialists already carrying out this work in the UK..... An average ICE car will require oil changes and servicing over 15 to 20 years, along with things such as clutch replacement, various belts etc..... EV's usually require much less servicing. A Tesla has no scheduled servicing.

@@Brian-om2hh Some battery packs are much harder to work on than others. Good luck digging through the glue holding structural battery packs together to change cells. Depending on your luck, it may also only be a matter of month before the next weakest cell fails and you have to spend another $3000+ getting another cell/chunk replaced. IMO, there needs to be industry-wide modular battery standards so people can refresh their battery pack one ~$1500 known-good off-the-shelf module at a time instead of gambling on aftermarket hacks to avoid shelling 15-40k$ on a new battery (if they can find one) or writing off an otherwise still perfectly good vehicle.

@@Brian-om2hh You aren't going to find the next weakest cell with only one post-refurb cycle since you presumably already did a cycle BEFORE the refurb to hopefully identify all of the problematic cells. For failure modes like dendrite growth, a cell can look good one month and exhibit high self-discharge a few months later when dendrites get through the separator.
