Wondering how long an electric car\u2019s battery lasts<\/strong> It's one of the most common doubts among those considering making the switch to electric mobility.<\/p>\n

The reality is that today\u2019s batteries are designed to last much longer than most drivers realise. Generally speaking, an electric car\u2019s battery usually lasts between 8 and 15 years, which equates to around 160,000 to 300,000 kilometres, depending on the model, charging habits and conditions of use. Furthermore, after several years of use, it usually retains between 70 % and 80 % of its original capacity.<\/p>\n

For years, one of the main barriers for many drivers was precisely the uncertainty around battery lifespan. Would it need replacing after just a few years? Would its range drop quickly? Would a replacement be too expensive?<\/p>\n
