“Experts said that the average EV battery guarantee lasts just eight years. After this time, the battery may lose power more quickly and so reduce mileage between charges.”

Tesla data shows that after the first year the capacity loss slows.

“Many EVs will lose up to 12 per cent of their charge capacity by six years. Some may lose even more.”

Tesla data shows that the batteries retain 90% capacity after 200,000 miles.

And that data is for older tech batteries.

Well then Tesla is full of crap because batteries are not just about miles they are about the number of years since they were made. Even a battery that was never used will expire in a number of years. So basing battery life only on miles is deceptive at best.

How long does it take to put 200,000 miles on an EV? Not driving time (effort), but elapsed time (duration, as in years).

Don't know anybody who admits to driving an EV, so I don't know how many EV's have actually gone 200K miles yet.

“Tesla data shows”.....

They wouldn’t have a vested interest in casting the best possible light on battery life, would they? It would be best to completely ignore the manufacturer’s data. Independent testing.
