How many kilometers does a Tesla need to replace the battery?
1 Answers
Tesla's official data shows that the battery needs to be replaced every 450,000 to 600,000 kilometers. According to domestic policy regulations: Electric vehicles should provide an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty for the battery, and the battery loss during the warranty period should not exceed 30%. Taking the Model 3 battery as an example: 1. Warranty period: The Model 3 equipped with a standard or medium-range battery has a battery and drive unit warranty of 8 years or 160,000 kilometers, with a minimum of 70% battery capacity retained during the warranty period. 2. Battery lifespan: Tesla uses 18650 batteries, and the lifespan of 18650 batteries is calculated based on charge-discharge cycles, approximately 1,000 cycles. If charged every 2 days, it can be used for about 2,000 days, meaning the battery may need replacement in about 5 years, but the actual usage of the vehicle will determine the specifics.
