Have you ever wondered how much it can last one battery of an electric car? Probably yes, after all it is a common doubt when it comes to such cars. The answer, however, is more complicated of what is believed and varies a depending on the model taken into consideration. For example, shared data regarding the Tesla Model 3 and Model Ythey are so precise and reliable that they give us a good perspective on what these cars can do live in time exactly.
Tesla’s report last year revealed that the batteries in the Model 3 and Model Y usually run after driving 321 thousand km show us a decrease in 15% power. This means that after traveling all those km the batteries continue to function maintain 85% of their original capacity.
Surprising results from Tesla electric car batteries
This result is already exceptional in itself, but the performances of the Model S and Model they are even better, with an equal “worsening”. at just 12% after traveling the same km. In Europewhere a car is typically scrapped after approx 240 thousand km
the data provided by Tesla shows itself even more impressive when compared. So what does it mean? Which the batteries in the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y may not need to be never replaced.
Thanks to over a decade accumulated experience and sales of electric vehicles, Tesla has all the useful information to provide the most specific data regarding the degradation of its batteries in order to present the best to its customers. From how much he has Tesla itself reportedbattery degradation is faster at first, with a 10% loss of capacity in the former 95-125 thousand km travelled. Subsequently, the rate slows down more and more, reaching lose only 5% of his power afterwards 200 thousand km.
What does this data imply for current e future owners of a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y? That they will have greater peace of mind about durability and reliability of batteries. The company thus confirms that its electric vehicles can last as long as, if not longer than, traditional internal combustion vehicles.
