How Long Do EV Batteries Really Last? | Real-World Data from 22,700 Electric Vehicles
Battery lifespan is one of the biggest concerns about electric vehicles—but what does real-world data actually show?
In this episode of Canada Talks Electric Cars, Charlotte Argue of Geotab presents findings from the largest EV battery health study to date—analyzing over 22,700 electric vehicles across 21 makes and models.
This isn’t lab testing or speculation. It’s measured performance from vehicles in everyday use.
Key topics covered:
Average EV battery degradation rates (real-world data)
How long EV batteries actually last over time
The impact of fast charging on battery health
Do extreme temperatures (hot and cold climates) matter?
What this means for EV ownership, resale value, and long-term reliability
The results challenge many of the most common myths about EV batteries—and provide clear, data-driven answers for anyone considering switching to electric.
If you’re thinking about buying an EV—or just want to understand how battery technology is holding up in the real world—this is essential viewing.
