Part 4/9:
Evidence from recent research highlights dramatic improvements in battery resilience. For instance, a 2024 study involving 92 commercial lithium batteries demonstrated slower degradation rates when tested against real-life usage patterns. Batteries tended to degrade less than expected and surpassed the original lifespan projections.
Moreover, data from the UK supports the conclusion that modern electric vehicles have significantly lower degradation rates than older models. This is particularly evident in models equipped with advanced battery management systems.
