https://cleantechnica.com/2018/04/16/tesla-batteries-have-90... "Actual Tesla owners report about a 5% drop in battery capacity by the 50,000 mile mark but after than, the rate of degradation drops considerably. On average, cars with 160,000 miles on them still have 90% of their battery capacity remaining. Projecting forward from the real world data available, a Tesla battery should still have 80% battery capacity after 500,000 miles of driving, the group claims. The vast majority of internal combustion engines would have stopped functioning long before then." Assuming a conservative usage of 20k miles/year, it will take you 25 years to reach 500k miles. |
