How reliable are electric cars batteries?
I’ve been wanting to invest in my first electric car, but I have some serious concerns about the performance and longevity of the battery since they are so expensive to replace. How reliable are electric car batteries?

In the past few years, the
electric car
industry has exploded, and the technology behind electric car mechanics has grown with it. In a new electric car, you can estimate that with the right care you’ll get about 200,000 miles out of your battery before it is unable to hold a charge any longer, but what if your battery malfunctions before then?
The good news is that federal law mandates electric car manufacturers keep the battery under warranty for either the first eight years or 100,000 miles, so you can drive with peace of mind.
Just like any other car, the key to extending the longevity of your electric car’s battery life is
proper care and maintenance
. Having the right
car insurance
plan can also help you get the most out of your new car. Sign up with Jerry
