To be sure, replacing an electric vehicle’s battery is an expensive proposition. In a recent study conducted by Cox Automotive, 46 percent of those considering an electric car fear the battery pack would only last for 65,000 miles or less. Yet one area of concern that keeps coming up in consumer surveys regards an electric car’s battery life.
There are far less moving parts in an electric motor than a gasoline engine, an electric car uses only a single-speed transmission, and EVs avoid over two-dozen common automotive components that will eventually fail and need replacing. In many ways an electric car is mechanically simpler than a conventionally powered vehicle.
Fortunately, it should be able to go the distance.
It’s the vehicle’s most critical – and expensive – component.
