In a new electric, EV batteries only degrade at a rate of 2.3% of maximum capacity per year on average. With proper care and maintenance, you can ensure that your battery will be able to go the distance.
Federal law also mandates that electric car manufacturers keep the battery under warranty for either the first eight years or 100,000 miles. Just like any other car, the key to extending the longevity of your electric car’s battery life is
