This article, published by Enrique Dans, debunks the myth that EV batteries need to be replaced frequently and at great cost. It argues that the majority of EV batteries will outlast the vehicles themselves and are reusable for other purposes. The article cites studies showing that EV batteries experience minimal degradation over time, with most still maintaining 80% of their original capacity after 12 years. It also emphasizes that the raw materials needed for EV batteries are significantly less than the oil consumed by gasoline-powered cars, making EVs a more sustainable choice. Dans argues that the future of the automotive industry is electric and encourages readers to move past outdated myths about EVs.
