The battery is an element The most important in an electric car. This element also causes concern car driversin particular at the level autonomy.

Researchers from the Thomas More Institute have worked on this topic and claim that some models can lose up to 8% containers their battery Every year.

Premature and rapid wear of the battery

The research of the researchers continued for two years. They mostly watched health status fleet and more precisely Accumulators.

This is research was ordered out of great reluctance a large part population to electric cars

According to researchers, premature wear and aging battery may have consequences on value vehicle.

Luke Claessensfuture mobility researcher and teacher, also explains this “Replacing a battery can usually cost more than the value of the car, especially if it’s a used car. That’s why it’s better to make sure the electric car is in good condition before buying it.”

The real problem is indicated

The researchers also mentioned another point : evaluation method health status batteries and cars

For, Researchers asked four companies specialized sales perform measurement.

In addition, they compared own measure with the measurements taken importer brand on his vehicles.

The results not very flattering. Indeed, some models may lose up to 8% ability to their battery as well as their autonomy Every year.

Thus, the study points to real problem Actually the value electric car is largely determined state its battery.
