How long does an electric car battery last?

-

Yesterday, I read an interesting article on MSN which describes how long an electric car battery lasts.

Electric car battery being charged

The article covers EV battery warranties which are much better than I thought:

Tesla Model S and Model X
8 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Tesla Model 3 Standard Range / Renault Zoe / Peugeot e-208
8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Tesla Model 3 Long Range
8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first.

My main worry with an electric car is, like mobile phones and laptops, the battery slowly degrades and hardly lasts any time at all.  It sounds like they should all last at least 8 years and 100,000 miles though which is good.

The article also covers how EV batteries degrade and how best to maintain them.

This post describes how to fix the error "This app will now restart to free up more memory" which can occur when using apps such as Netflix on an LG TV after just a few minutes of use. Resolution To resolve the issue, unplug the TV then press the on/off button for 10 seconds.  Wait a further 20 seconds then plug the TV back in and turn it back on. Apps should now run without the error. Edit: The on/off button on my LG TV is directly under the standby light on the bottom of the TV. Edit: I didn't have to do this myself but one person who has left a comment said that clearing all browsing data worked for them.  I have written a post explaining how to do this: LG TV Clear All Browsing History Data . Edit: A few other people have also suggested turning off quick start in settings (and if it's already off, turn it on then off again).  I have written a post explaining how to do this: LG TV turn off Quick Start in settings Related Posts -  LG TV delete/remove/hide ch
