Battery Health
A YouTuber known as Electric Vehicle Man purchased a five-year-old Tesla Model S Long Range Performance with 90,000 miles and conducted tests to assess its battery degradation. The results showed an 11 percent decline over five years, which he deemed satisfactory. This test highlights ongoing misconceptions about electric vehicle battery longevity.

Certain electric vehicles from Ford and Tesla use lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, which require different charging habits than typical nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) types. Automakers recommend periodically charging these LFP batteries to full capacity to calibrate the battery management system. This practice helps maintain accuracy and longevity, despite some studies suggesting potential long-term risks.
