This suggests that the owner of a typical EV may not need to replace the expensive battery pack or buy a new car for several additional years. Almost always, battery scientists and engineers have tested the cycle lives of new battery designs in laboratories using a constant rate of discharge followed by recharging.
Better, stronger, faster: EV batteries are rapidly improving — 3D rendering of chassis with batteries installed. (Getty) “Batteries will get better, cheaper, and even power your home or the grid,” says Matthias Preindl, who heads Columbia University’s Motor Drives and Power Electronics Laboratory.
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.
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.
Currently on the market are EV batteries that can charge more than 200 miles’ worth in 15 to 20 minutes. These batteries are available in both high end and affordable cars, including at least one Kia, some Teslas, and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 that retails for under $42,000. (That’s about $7,000 less than an average new vehicle in the U.S.)

Recycling the retired power batteries in new energy vehicles in …
According to the "Research Report (Introduction) on Recycling of New Energy Vehicle Power Batteries," if the capacity of power batteries decays to below 80%, they will not be able to fully meet the power requirements of new energy vehicles, so these batteries can be echelon used in several other markets, such as low-speed electric vehicles, emergency power …
Designing better batteries for electric vehicles
As an example, an electric vehicle fleet often cited as a goal for 2030 would require production of enough batteries to deliver a total of 100 gigawatt hours of energy. To meet that goal using just LGPS batteries, the supply chain for germanium would need to grow by 50 percent from year to year — a stretch, since the maximum growth rate in the past has been …
