With battery costs currently still high, this is a valid concern - but how long can a battery pack last? Battery provider Southern California Edison have been testing a lithium-ion battery subpack for two and a half hears now and have demonstrated a life of more than 180,000 miles without significant performance deterioration, a figure which makes the cost equation appear more convincing.en gizmag.com Comment on 'EV batteries demonstrate 180,000-plus mile lifespan' by Gargamoth http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-106777 http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-106777 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:53:52 -0600 Comment on 'EV batteries demonstrate 180,000-plus mile lifespan' by Mr Stiffy http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-54829 http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-54829 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:59:59 -0500 Comment on 'EV batteries demonstrate 180,000-plus mile lifespan' by Dr.A.Jagadeesh http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-20740 http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-20740 Sat, 24 Apr 2010 02:09:34 -0500 Comment on 'EV batteries demonstrate 180,000-plus mile lifespan' by Muraculous http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-20698 http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-20698 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 11:01:20 -0500 Comment on 'EV batteries demonstrate 180,000-plus mile lifespan' by jrockel http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-430 http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-430 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:56:40 -0600 Comment on 'EV batteries demonstrate 180,000-plus mile lifespan' by Ben http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-349 http://www.gizmag.com/electric-car-batteries-demonstrate-180000-plus-mile-lifespan/10491/#comment-349 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:44:32 -0600
