Electric car batteries last longer than expected (study) – ecomento.de

I still remember vividly a self-made expert explaining to his friend, in the London subway, that "yeah batteries only last 8 years, then you have to swap them out, ergo electric cars are a dumb idea".

But I still trust in people's capacity to digest being utterly wrong ­— eventually.

I'm hoping that my car's battery only lasts for 7.9 years. It has an 8 year guarantee :D

Then I'd get a new one and my car would be practically new for 8 more years.

"But I still trust in people's capacity to digest being utterly wrong ­— eventually."

It always comes back to diet, doesn't it?
