Many people, whether they intend to buy an electric vehicle or not, have this question in mind? “How long will my vehicle’s battery last?”
Recurrent* reveals a picture on this subject:
🚗 Electric Vehicle Batteries Are More Durable Than Expected
Battery replacement rate in all models except major recalls: Below 4%
For 1st Generation Electric Vehicles sold in 2011-2016: 8.5%
For 2nd Generation Electric Vehicles sold in 2017-2021: 2%
In modern Electric Vehicles in 2022 and beyond: 0.3%
🎯 Effects of Technological Developments
Thanks to modern battery chemistries and advanced management systems, battery life reaches a level that exceeds the life of vehicles. The obligation to supply spare parts for vehicles in Turkey is 10 years.
From 2015 to 2024, the average battery capacity increased by 167%.
In other words, new generation vehicles have more capacity and need change later
🔎 What Does the Warranty Say?
For the three best-selling brands in Turkey:
TOG: 8 years / 160 Thousand Km, BYD: 8 years / 200 Thousand Km (SOH ≥ 70%), Tesla: 8 years / 160 Thousand Km (SOH* ≥ 70%) *SoH (State of Health): SoH indicates the overall health status of a battery.
🧩 Agency’s Analysis:
📌 When the warranty periods offered and the periods given in the report are compared, battery life does not stand as an issue that will be on the agenda for electric vehicles.
📌In addition, with the fact that 75% of the electric vehicles sold were sold in the last 3 years, this data will become much more meaningful in the coming periods.
📌 Software updates for electric vehicles stand as an extremely important issue in terms of battery life.
📌 It seems healthier for the investor not to act too hastily for the battery recycling sector.
📌 It will also be beneficial for investor protection if the administrations are more selective and restrictive in terms of recycling authorization.
