Battery degradation on high-mileage EVs is not as big a deal as some might make you believe. Real-world data shows that EVs with over 150,000 miles are still going strong, with minimal degradation. Older EVs are more affected by high mileage, but technology has made newer models more resilient. Battery degradation is inevitable, but new research shows that EV owners should just keep driving their cars without worrying about what happens with the thousands of cells that live in their cars' floors.
