If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

More recent research on batteries in EVs is showing that the batteries will outlast the cars. Whether you realize it or not, you are spreading misinformation from the oil and gas industry.

That's not quite what the articles say.

The truth is that today's EV batteries will inevitably need replacing in the future.

But yes, they show that batteries last longer than I expected. I imagine the light use by my European family will cover 2 decades if the battery has at least 300-km range.
