"According to Geotab's findings, the average EV battery can last up to 20 years, with minimal annual degradation...That's six years longer than the average lifespan of a gas-powered vehicle in the United States, which currently stands at around 14 years.

"The data, drawn from over 10,000 electric vehicles, shows that batteries lose only about 1.8 percent of their original capacity per year...This means an EV would retain roughly 64 percent of its range even after two decades of use."
