It’s true: despite early questions about how long EV batteries would last, it looks like the real-world data isn’t just matching early predictions about longevity – it’s exceeding them! “Almost all of the batteries we’ve made are still in cars,” Nissan UK marketing director Nic Thomas said, . “It’s the complete opposite of what people feared when we first launched EVs , that the batteries would only last a short time.”
Modern hybrids have been around even longer than pure EVs, with the original Toyota Prius launching in 1998 , and even some of those cars are still out on the road. “At the end of the vehicle’s life—15 or 20 years down the road—you take the battery out of the car, and it’s still healthy,” reflects Thomas, “ perhaps 60 or 70% of usable charge.”
