"A new study of 10,000 electric cars shows that their battery packs should outlast the vehicles themselves... a new study that shows the average degradation per year is actually 1.8%. The company believes that it could translate to EV batteries lasting 20 years

"Considering electric cars, like gasoline-powered vehicles, tend to break down for mechanical reasons much sooner than 20 years, the average vehicle lifespan is 15 years, this could mean that EV batteries should outlast their vehicles."
