The Expert Podcast

Episode Description 
Discover the truth about electric vehicle battery longevity and what every EV owner needs to know about battery degradation over time. We explore real-world data showing how Tesla and other EV batteries perform after 100,000 miles, plus crucial advice for used EV buyers. 

Key Points Covered: 
  • EV Battery Durability: Studies reveal that high voltage battery packs are more robust than initially expected, with many maintaining good charging capacity even after significant mileage
  • The 100,000-Mile Reality: Survey data shows most Tesla batteries retain strong performance after 100,000 miles, though some concerning outliers exist
  • Degradation Warning Signs: Real case study of a 2022 EV (only 3-4 years old) with fewer than 100,000 miles showing 11.5% battery degradation
  • Used EV Buyer Beware: Critical importance of battery testing when purchasing used electric vehicles - don't rely solely on mileage and visual condition
  • Financial Impact: Battery replacement costs can reach $20,000-$30,000, potentially approaching the entire vehicle's value
  • Essential EV Battery Testing: Why professional battery capacity testing is crucial before any used EV purchase
Takeaway:
While most EV batteries prove remarkably durable, outliers exist that can create expensive surprises. Smart EV buyers must prioritize battery health testing over traditional vehicle inspection metrics.

So, the big question is, how are these electric vehicle batteries going to survive and retain their charging capacity over the years? Here's a great survey on some electric vehicle batteries and some outliers that maybe show that some batteries don't last that long. After 100,000 miles on a Tesla, um, many of the batteries kept good charging capacity, but a few of them did not. And according to this article, it says electric vehicle batteries are pretty robust. Studies showing the high voltage packs last longer than thought.

However, every once in a while, outliers will stick their head out. That's what your video will be back in 8 seconds.

It implies that if you're buying an electric vehicle, don't just go by the miles. Don't just go by the um the condition. Make sure you have that battery tested. Make sure you do an EV battery test. A link below will give you some more information on that because otherwise you could be buying a car that needs a 20 or $30,000 battery that could be worth almost the value of the entire vehicle.
