"Guessing when it'll be time for replacement can be done based on the car's original range and the specific type of battery it uses...estimates range from 1,000 cycles on the lower end according to Chargemap to 2,000 in ideal conditions per Midtronics...For an EV with 300 miles of range, that'd mean the battery could last from 300,000 to 600,000 miles...

"Up-and-coming battery technologies such as LFP and solid-state may improve on EV batteries' already lengthy lifespans, but today's tech will do you just fine too."
