A new study published in Nature Energy found that electric vehicle batteries lasted as much as a third longer in the real world than they did in initial expectations from laboratory simulations, arguing that the controlled conditions of lab analysis are actually much rougher on batteries than drivers are. Compared to three years of experimenting on EV batteries through 47 different scenarios, some batteries lasted as much as 38 percent longer — 120,000 additional miles — than what would be expected under lab conditions.
