Battery Tesla Model S is recognized as "unkillable"

Loss of battery capacity during operation – one of the problems with electric cars, despite the fact that this process is normal for all devices equipped with Li-ion batteries. However, the experts of the organization Plug-in America found that the electric car Tesla Model S in this regard is an exception.





So, they conducted an independent study which showed that the loss of the battery capacity of a Model S even in the long run is small. In particular, the battery pack of this car on average loses 5% of its capacity after overcoming the machine level of 50 million miles (80 million km), and the mileage of more than 100 million miles (160 million km) – and at less than 8%. The study was conducted on the basis of the data 500 of the electric cars Tesla Model S, the total mileage amounted to more than 12 million miles (20 million km).





In addition, Plug-in America conducted another study, which showed that in four years (since the release of the Tesla Model S to the market) significantly decreased the number of calls to the service station "Tesla" because of problems with the battery, motor or charger.

Battery capacity may depend on several factors such as the frequency of the full charge capacity, the time periods of stay in an unloaded condition and number of fast chargers. Data Plugin America also show that the replacement rates for the main components has significantly improved:





These data are encouraging, but despite this, Tesla continues to work on improving its battery technologies and cells. The company started scientific cooperation with the research group of Jeff Dahn of Dalhousie University. This Department specializiruetsya on increasing lifespan of cells of lithium-ion batteries, and its purpose is to maximize the extension of the mileage on the battery with a small power loss.

Note that the battery of the Tesla Model S, as well as the car itself since 2014 has a warranty period of 8 years with no restrictions on mileage. Then the head of Tesla Elon Musk explained the decision so: "If we truly believe that electric motors are much more reliable internal combustion engines, with fewer moving parts... then our warranty policy should reflect that." published
