▲ 113 ▼ Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected (www.wired.com) submitted 2 years ago by along_the_road@beehaw.org to c/technology@beehaw.org 21 comments fedilink hide all child comments
[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) A 1.8%pa degradation over 10 years would be, 83.39%. Linearising it to make it "more intuitive" I guess. But 2%pa degradation gets you very close to the 18% over 10 years figure. 1.9649% to be more precise. Over 20 years you are down to ~67% and ~55% at 30 years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago* And upcoming EPA regs will require the 80%, 10 year claim.
