How long do electric vehicle batteries generally last?

[DelClara]

Electric vehicle batteries generally last about 3 years. Improper usage can shorten the battery's lifespan. As the number of charge and discharge cycles increases, the performance of the electric vehicle battery will decline, and the battery will need to be replaced periodically. A battery consists of a positive electrode, negative electrode, and electrolyte. The chemical reactions inside the battery are reversible—the direction of the reaction reverses during charging and discharging. The shallower the depth of discharge each time the battery is used, the longer the battery's lifespan. Therefore, regardless of the capacity of the battery pack, it's advisable to develop the good habit of charging immediately after use. Frequent charging keeps the battery in a saturated state as much as possible. Avoid carrying passengers when possible, switch to pushing when encountering slopes, and try to minimize frequent braking and starting during operation.
