What battery degradation?
Arval a very large car lease company in Europe has published a new analysis based on 24,000 State of Health (SoH) certificates for electric vehicle batteries.
The results, drawn from a unique sample in Europe, confirm a longevity far superior to market perceptions. At 70,000 km, the battery displays 93% remaining capacity on average
At 160,000 km or after 6 years of use, SoH remains above 90%
New‑generation vehicles show an SoH 2 to 3 points higher than older models
Degradation is slow and progressive: around 1% every 25,000 km after a slight initial decrease
The analysis is based on 24000 certificates carried out in 11 European countries with a mix of BEV (66%) and PHEVs (33%).
