While battery prices have plummeted about 90% over the past 15 years, batteries still account for almost a third of the price of a new EV. So, current and future EV commuters may be happy to learn that many extra miles await them.
A larger battery size increases the energy consumption for all users, but only the long-distance driver benefits from a substantial decrease in en-route charging stops. Using a 116-kWh battery instead of a 28-kWh battery increases energy consumption between 13.4% and 16.9% for the three driver types.
The battery thus generally lasts much longer than the warranty or other parts of the vehicle. With the long service life, a second use of the battery after the ‘first life’ in the vehicle is, of course, also possible, for example, as stationary energy storage – the ‘second life.’
In other words, the net capacity when the battery is new corresponds to a SoH of 100 per cent. If the current capacity drops later, the SoH also drops below 100 per cent. The manufacturer’s warranty conditions often specify 70 or 80 per cent after a certain mileage or period of use.
This is not a good way to predict the life expectancy of EV batteries, especially for people who own EVs for everyday commuting, according to the study published Dec. 9 in Nature Energy. While battery prices have plummeted about 90% over the past 15 years, batteries still account for almost a third of the price of a new EV.
Consumers’ real-world stop-and-go driving of electric vehicles benefits batteries more than the steady use simulated in almost all laboratory tests of new battery designs, Stanford-SLAC study finds. The way people actually drive and charge their electric vehicles may make batteries last longer than researchers have estimated. | Cube3D
New study shows: EV batteries last much longer than expected
Another interesting finding from the more than 7,000 data sets: The field data suggests that the actual battery capacity is maintained longer than assumed under real-life conditions, especially with the often-cited high mileages of 200,000 kilometres and more. Based on the cell lab tests, the SoH model published by P3 in 2023 gave a ...
