According to published data, Tesla vehicles experience an unbelievably low battery degradation of only 12% over their entire lifespan. This means that you can drive your Tesla for years without worrying about having to replace the battery or contributing to negative environmental impacts caused by battery disposal. With Tesla, you can cruise with ease knowing you're making a sustainable choice that's built to last!
Hey guys, it's Armen Hareyan here and today we're going to talk about Tesla battery degradation. If you're considering buying an electric vehicle, it's important to know how long it will last and how the battery will perform over time. Well, according to Tesla's published data, their vehicles experience only 12% battery degradation over their lifespan.
That's right, even after 200,000 miles, the battery degradation in Tesla vehicles is only 12%. This means you can drive your Tesla for a long time without having to worry about replacing the battery or sending it for scrap. And not only that, but it also means the negative impact on the environment is really low.
But wait, it's not just about mileage. Tesla also noted that battery age is a major factor in battery capacity retention. Retention figures at lower mileages likely reflect the impact of age, while higher mileage values, which come from high-utilization vehicles, likely reflect less influence from battery age.
And if you're wondering what happens to the battery after the car is scrapped, well, it can be reused in stationary energy storage, where it can last for many more years before being disposed of. And when it's time to dispose of it, the batteries can be recycled, which means that metals can be extracted from them, and then it will be possible to produce a new battery again without harming the environment.
Now, it's worth noting that the data presented in the report are based on the oldest Tesla models, Model S and Model X. And Tesla said the performance of new chemicals being used in its batteries have not yet been taken into account, and so results could vary in the future. However, the data presented are still reliable, as they are collected from real experience, not from potential or projected information.
So, if you're looking for an electric vehicle with a high-quality battery that will provide you with many years of enjoyable driving, Tesla is definitely a great option. With only 12% battery degradation over its lifespan, you can drive your Tesla for a long time without having to worry about replacing the battery or sending it for scrap. And not only that, but you can also drive it with a clear conscience knowing that you're not harming the environment. Thanks for watching, and remember to stay electric!
