The Tesla Model 3, X and S also feature in the top ten list, with minimal battery degradation during the course of one year. It was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, the UK’s best-selling plug-in vehicle that was found to suffer the worst battery degradation at four per cent.
The Kia Niro PHEV, with a 3.5 percent loss, will probably make its most expensive brother, the Niro EV, quite embarrassed. Surprisingly, the best of the worst EV in terms of battery degradation (the Ford Fusion Energi) is pretty close to the worst of the best ones (the Mercedes-Benz B-Class EV).
Of course, there will always be EV batteries that perform worse than others. The good news is that if you’re unlucky enough to find yourself with a battery that’s degrading quicker than expected, it’s likely any repairs (or even a full battery replacement, which can be very costly) will be covered under the manufacturer warranty.
No matter how carefully you look after the battery in your EV, it will always lose performance over time, even if you do a very low mileage. However, there are factors that contribute to battery degradation.
Essentially, it's inevitable that your electric car battery, or any rechargeable Li-ion battery, will lose its capacity it once had. However, the rate at which it'll degrade is the unknown variable. Everything ranging from your charging habits to the very chemical makeup of the cell will affect your EV battery's long-term energy storage.
Battery electric vehicles have lower maintenance costs compared to internal combustion vehicles since electronic systems break down much less often than the mechanical systems in conventional vehicles, and the fewer mechanical systems onboard last longer due to the better use of the electric engine.
