Battery degradation is a serious problem, which can drastically reduce the range of older EVs or necessitate an expensive battery replacement. However, a new study by scientists at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center suggests electric vehicle batteries could last significantly longer than previously expected.

The shelf-life of electric vehicle (EV) batteries may be as much as 40 percent greater than previously assumed, a new study has found. Stanford University scientists uncovered this possibility by

Researchers at Stanford University discovered that EV batteries used in real life might last up to 40% longer than what previous lab tests showed

Standard industrial tests for EV batteries are not a realistic depiction of usage and cannot forecast lifespan accurately, finds Stanford.

The batteries of electric vehicles subject to the normal use of real world drivers—like heavy traffic, long highway trips, short city trips, and mostly being parked—could last about a third longer than researchers have generally forecast,

A new study conducted by researchers from Stanford University explored the lifespan of batteries in electric vehicles (EVs).  Overall, the researchers f
