A Tesla Model S from Australia reached the incredible mark of 666,666 kilometers on the speedometer before the battery gave an error message.
The car, a model from 2018, was regularly charged at fast charging stations and is now on its fifth maintenance cycle after a battery change within the warranty period.
Does this mean that e-car batteries can actually last half a million kilometers or more?
Limited significance:
- A single example is not a representative statistic.
- The condition of batteries can vary greatly, depending on factors such as driving behavior, charging habits and ambient conditions.
- Earlier Model S models sometimes had problems with the battery pack's cooling system.
Nevertheless:
- The case shows, that modern e-car batteries can be very durable under favorable conditions.
- Advances in battery technology promise even greater ranges and lifetimes in the future.
- Manufacturers such as CATL already offer batteries with 1,6 million km range or a service life of 50 years.
Warranty and resale value:
- A 15-year warranty on e-car batteries, as proposed by NIO, could boost the market for used vehicles.
- Concerns about battery life could currently have a negative impact on resale value.
Conclusion:
The Tesla Model S with 666.666 km is an impressive example of the possibilities of e-mobility. However, it is not possible to say whether all e-car batteries can achieve this mileage. However, the technology is developing rapidly and promises even longer-lasting and more powerful batteries in the future.
