One of the biggest myths surrounding EVs is that their battery packs will need frequent replacement.
This is simply not true. Critics need to look no further than the example of German motorist Hansjorg von Gemmingen, who has driven 1.9 million kilometres in his 2013 Tesla! The battery has been replaced three times giving an average of over 630,000 kilometres per battery (and battery technology has significantly improved since 2013). The average Australian motorist covers 12,000 km per annum, which at this rate would give them a whopping 54 years’ worth of battery life.
