EV Batteries Can Outlast A Vehicle’s Lifetime With Minimal Degradation, Study Finds

A study of almost 5,000 EVs revealed modern high-voltage batteries can go for years and years with minimal degradation. The degradation rate has decreased by almost a quarter compared to 2019. “Batteries in the latest EV models will comfortably outlast the usable life of the vehicle and will likely not need to be replaced.” That’s … Continue reading “EV Batteries Can Outlast A Vehicle’s Lifetime With Minimal Degradation, Study Finds”

DOE: Small SUVs halve lifetime GHG emissions as EVs vs. gas

A small electric SUV with 300 miles of range produces 52% fewer life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than a comparable gasoline vehicle, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Greenhouse gas emissions from production and distribution are currently around double that of gasoline production and distribution, the DOE notes, but that’s more than offset by … Continue reading “DOE: Small SUVs halve lifetime GHG emissions as EVs vs. gas”
