How Long Can an Electric Vehicle's Battery Last?
1 Answers
The designed lifespan of a battery is 27 months. Generally, family cars are more battery-efficient, with many lasting 3-4 years, but typically they need replacement after 2 years. Taxis consume batteries more quickly, with single-shift vehicles lasting just over a year and double-shift vehicles lasting around 8-10 months. Relevant information about car batteries is as follows: Introduction to Car Batteries: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Advantages of Conventional Batteries: The plates of conventional batteries are made of lead and lead oxides, with the electrolyte being an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Their main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the downsides include low specific energy (the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short lifespan, and frequent maintenance.
