Remember when EV batteries were supposed to die faster than your iPhone? Turns out they age better than your uncle’s diesel ute. Kia EV6 leads the pack. Tesla Model Y’s not far behind.
New study shows 80% used EVs still have 90%+ capacity.
Some EVs are pushing 300,000 miles with 80% still intact.

I’m sure the engine is nowhere near its original power output or efficiency.
Ive got access to the data. Longest odo model 3 i can see with logged data shows 580,000km done and battery is 70% of original. That is pretty good. There is high odo model s, but they used different battery tech and not mass produced car.
And a new battery pack is also a fraction of a crate engine installation. Fast as a tire change/wheel alignment.
Approve the general evidence here, but wonder if there’s any survivorship bias in the data . Given they sell cars they won’t see the vehicles that haven’t survived to reach them for resale.
I suspect EV's are not travelling the distances of diesel utes.
Did you mention after what time period the batteries were at 90%?
EV's have their positive points, but mining the planet to death isn't green. Longer lasting batteries are great, but eventually will lead to environmental nightmares.
Next generation of EV batteries will out last the car. Imagine when your car finally breaks down, you still have the residual value left in the battery. Think about how that might change automobile finance!
Most city's ,use toyoya prius as a taxi , and most keep them until 500,000 klms +
This was part of the 'bet' of me buying a new EV 2½ years ago (all previous cars had been 4 years used).
It can still fail, but is showing no signs to, even though I do detect a small reduction in range after 100,000 km.
My uncles Ute is now 50 years old F150, my neighbour has a 45 year old Datsun Ute.. probably a bad example as Ute guys keep Utes for a very long time.
Model y has been available for 5yrs sold 3.9 million, kia ev6 available for 4yrs sold 285,000.
Every driver has a use case. Anybody who takes an absolutist position about EV or ICE vehicles is intellectually challenged or politically motivated.
"They'll never replace diesel" is a much more defensible statement. Also - to get the diesel you need to keep civilization from collapsing, you've got to create a roughly equal quantity of gasoline that's going to get burned somewhere, by someone, for something.
No need to outlaw ICE engines, then. "Technology so good we're going to compel you to use it," was clearly the wrong sales pitch.
I get 312mls in my Kona. If battery degrades to 80% in 10 years then i’ll still get 250 miles range!
I remember when a million people here and on Telegraph comments told me that batteries would never last, nobody wanted them and they didn't have the range. Their lies exposed every day now
This is good news. Still think hybrid is best. Can’t abide by the current range limitations.
My 2000 Toyota still starts first time. Same petrol tank & motor. Serviced every couple years by a shop with oil top ups in between. Bought it for $7k in 2010. Worth nothing today, but I’d happily drive Perth to Sydney in it before buying an RC car.
So why isn't the whole government fleet EVs?
Why aren't politicians forced to drive them?
