TechEV batteries last longer than drivers feared

A new study finds that most used electric vehicles retain about 90% of their original usable battery capacity after 150,000 kilometers. Battery durability remains a major concern for drivers considering a switch from petrol cars, while typical warranties last eight years or 160,000 kilometers and require replacement only if capacity drops below 70%.
