"Electric car battery maintenance: The secret to running 100,000 km without failure"
Have you recently bought an electric car (EV)? Or are you planning to buy one? If yes, then the biggest question that comes to everyone’s mind is—“How long will its battery last?” in 2026 Don’t worry!

But while petrol/diesel engines last 200,000–300,000 km, an EV battery lasts 8–10 years or up to 150,000 km—provided you take proper care of it. Battery health directly means maintaining the battery's capacity. Over time every battery's capacity decreases (degradation). If your battery used to give 400 km at 100% charge, after 5 years it might give only 350 km. Our goal is to...
