A new study crowns the top performer in electric vehicle battery health, revealing that degradation is less severe than initially feared. The findings suggest that used EVs are more reliable than many consumers might worry.
The study, published on October 27, 2025, examines the longevity and health of EV batteries across various models. It identifies a 'king' among them for maintaining battery performance over time, countering early concerns about rapid degradation in electric vehicles.
According to the research, batteries in used EVs hold up better than anticipated, alleviating fears about their viability in the second-hand market. This could boost confidence in purchasing pre-owned electric cars, potentially expanding their adoption.
The TechRadar report emphasizes that 'batteries don't degrade as badly as first feared,' based on the study's analysis. While specific models and data points are not detailed in the summary, the overall message is optimistic for the EV industry.
This development comes amid growing interest in sustainable transportation, where battery reliability remains a key concern for potential buyers.
