How Long Do EV Batteries Last?

Another common concern regarding EVs is battery longevity. The good news is that advancements in battery technology have resulted in incredibly resilient batteries. You can expect a Ford EV battery to retain a significant portion of its original capacity even after years of use. Most manufacturers, including Ford, offer generous warranties on their EV batteries, providing added peace of mind. To further maximize your Ford EV range and battery lifespan, consider these simple tips: Avoid extreme temperatures by parking your EV in a garage or shaded area whenever possible. Next, maintain a moderate charge level, don't let your battery drain completely, or keep it constantly topped off. Lastly, use designated charging stations. Although fast charging is convenient, you should use it sparingly. Rely on Level 2 chargers for regular charging. By following these practices, you can ensure your Ford EV battery delivers optimal performance for years to come.
