New research debunks widespread misconception about electric vehicles: 'There is a need to systematically adopt'

Fresh research is showing that real-world EV battery life vastly outperforms lab testing. A study from Stanford University, summarized by The Conversation, found that electric vehicle batteries actually last about 38% longer than lab tests suggest. This is because lab testing continuously charges and discharges in order to simulate long-term wear. Meanwhile, drivers in the real world have a lot of stopping and starting over a longer actual perio…
