Modern battery chemistry can last for 2000 cycles. Assuming you get 200 miles on a charge, that's 400000 miles. A typical ICE car doesn't last that long.
- throwawaaarrgh 4y agoBattery performance is highly variant both per manufacturer and based on temperature and elevation. Some perform half as well as others. And battery lifespan varies depending on charge type, use profile, climate, vendor, etc. I shouldn't have said worthless. But on average their degradation varies between 5% and 10%, and individual units have had quite variant actual performance lifespans.
