Electric cars are becoming the future of clean transportation. As one of the most popular manufacturers of electric cars, one often wonders: How many kilometers does a Tesla battery last?
And what about individual fees? How many charges does it take to deplete a Tesla battery?
How many kilometers does a Tesla last in its lifetime?
It can be difficult to determine the lifespan of a battery. When do you consider it inoperable?
Luckily, with Tesla batteries, you can measure this using the company’s warranty model. Tesla states that if your car battery retains less than 70 percent of its capacity, it has reached the end of its life and you are entitled to a repair or replacement.
The number varies by car model, but most Tesla batteries last an average of eight years with 100,000 to 150,000 miles driven.
If you don’t mind cruising around with a slightly underperforming battery, rest assured that the same battery is claimed to last anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 miles Elon Musk on Twitter. That’s over two decades of driving before you need to replace your Tesla battery, which is on the expensive side, starting at around $5,000 per battery module.
How many charges does it take?
How long your Tesla battery lasts before you need to recharge it depends on your driving habits. At top speeds of between 135 and 200 miles per hour (mph), the average Tesla battery lasts between 300 and 400 miles.
The Tesla Model S has the longest battery charge, allowing you to drive 405 miles at a speed of 250 km/h. At the lower end of the scale is the Tesla Model 3. Its battery lasts up to 267 miles at a speed of 220 km/h.
If you use up your battery before going to a charging station, you can expect a Tesla battery to last between 1,000 and 1,250 charges over its lifetime.
How accurate are the numbers?
These numbers (both for single charges and battery life) are estimates under ideal conditions. Driving at different speeds, leaving your device turned on, and not caring for it properly can affect its overall lifespan and charging time.
