Volkswagen ID. AERO

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Leapmotor, an emerging EV brand backed by Dahua Technology, has plans to enter the European market in 2023. The brand officials confirmed that Leapmotor would open showrooms in Europe. To finance its globalization plans, Hangzhou-based carmaker filed its first IPO that worths around $1.5bn at Hong Kong Exchange.
The brand has already started to sell electric vehicles in Turkey and Israel, starting with the compact hatchback called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-t03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor T03</a>. The first EV to be showcased in Europe will probably be the electric sedan C01. With its sleek design, cell-to-chassis technology, and impressive performance figures, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor C01</a> will attract a lot of customers.
<h2>BYD</h2>

BYD first entered Norway with the full-size electric SUV called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2022-byd-tang-ev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tang EV</a>. Over the next months, China&#8217;s biggest EV manufacturer will start selling vehicles all over the world. BYD EVs are already available in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. European countries where BYD will start operations before the end of 2022 are the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, and Sweden.
BYD will export these three electric vehicle models to Old Continent; compact electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-atto-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYD Atto 3</a>, electric sedan <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2022-byd-han-ev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYD Han EV</a>, and BYD Tang EV. India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam will also be subject to BYD&#8217;s global expansion, as official statements confirmed.
Unfortunately, BYD has no plans to enter the American market yet. But there is a possibility of Chinese EV maker using its new premium brand, which reportedly will deliver a $145K+ luxury EV to the market, to attract customers from United States.
<h2>NIO</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-12976" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1024x648.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="475" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-300x190.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-768x486.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1536x972.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs-1568x992.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nio-es7-specs.jpg 1878w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
NIO is one of the first Chinese automakers, which officially confirms its entry into the US market. NIO-branded EVs will be on sale in the US starting in 2025. Large-size SUV ES8 is currently being tested on US roads. There is no official timeline for the US launch, though.
Chinese EV marque will also start selling EVs in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The next move on the global plans is to enter more European markets such as Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, and the Czech Republic. NIO is hoping to sell electric vehicles in 25 countries by 2025.

Which Chinese EV Brands Are Coming To United States and Europe?

Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US (Updated on Jan. 2023)

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32404" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png" alt="" width="755" height="425" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png 755w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px" />
Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

How to Connect an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y? | Complete Guide

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

Israel has become one of the most EV-friendly countries in the Middle East. Regular ICE vehicles are subject to high taxation (up to 83 percent, including purchase tax and VAT), while there is only a 10 percent tax on fully-electric models in Israel. Auto-importers are exploiting the unbalance between two kinds of cars, and the first brands to benefit from this are, of course, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/best-chinese-ev-manufacturers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers</a>.
People in Israel are not only facing heft taxation when buying a vehicle, but they also have to burden 62 percent taxation when filling up their tanks. Thus, low tax levels on electric car purchases and tax-free electricity give this country no other option than to adopt EVs.
We realized the rising popularity of EVs in Israel and prepared a list of budget-friendly Chinese electric vehicles in order to help our visitors from Israel easily compare affordable EV options.

9 Affordable Chinese EVs Available in Israel

Passat, which has been at the top of the best-selling cars lists for many years will no longer be produced. The vehicle&#8217;s sedan counterpart, known to be replaced by an all-electric model, was officially introduced: Volkswagen ID.7.
The sedan named ID 7 was actually introduced under the name of ID Aero last year. This time, it appeared before those waiting for the vehicle with its design ready for mass production. It is certain that the illuminated camouflage on the electric vehicle, which was showcased at CES 2023 held in Las Vegas, USA, will attract intense attention from the visitors.

Announcing in a press release that the electric Passat will offer a range of 700 kilometers. It will come with a giant 15-inch infotainment system screen. The German automotive giant also states that the cabin can be heated and cooled much faster. It is expected to achieve this with the help of a heat pump, which will probably also do the thermal management of the battery. Because in the previous electric vehicles of Volkswagen such as ID.4, due to the lack of a heat pump, it took a long time to heat the cabin with old-generation PTC heaters in cold weather. The range loss was up to 30% because the battery could not reach optimum conditions.

The electric sedan will meet us with the usual taillight design at the rear. But it will have more dynamic-looking headlights at the front. The aerodynamic structure of the vehicle, whose door handles are hidden to reduce friction, will play the biggest role in the 700-kilometer range.
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars Division, announced that the electric Passat, ID.7, will be introduced in April 2023. The vehicle go on sale in the second half of 2023. Announcing that it will manufacture at the Emden factory in Germany for the European and Turkish markets.

18 Most Efficient Electric Cars, According to EPA | 2023 Ranking

Skoda

Skoda officially confirms that its most popular vehicle will go electric. Development of the fully-electric Octavia is underway, according to CEO Klaus Zellmer&#8217;s statement published by <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/all-electric-octavia-being-developed-skoda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Autocar</a>.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/ev-sales-overtake-diesel-europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electric vehicle sales in Europe overtake diesel models for the first time</a>
Octavia is the best-selling model of the Czech firm and it will definitely be around after Europe&#8217;s ICE car sales ban in 2035. Skoda aims to generate 70 percent of its profit from fully-electric vehicles by 2030. Octavia will be one of those vehicles. But Zellmer didn&#8217;t rule out the possibility of another generation of ICE and plug-in hybrid Octavia models for some yet-to-be electrified markets.
<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://licarco.com/skoda-enyaq-iv-80" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enyaq iV</a> and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://licarco.com/skoda-enyaq-coupe-rs-iv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enyaq Coupe iV</a> are the first next-gen EVs Skoda launched into the market. Over the next four years, the European carmaker will launch five more vehicles including the electric Octavia. C-segment sedan will use Volkswagen&#8217;s new electric-only platform called SSP, unlike MEB-based Enyaq iV and other VW Group EVs.
<h2>Electric Fabia and 7-seater Vision 7S are also coming soon</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-22673" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1024x619.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="453" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1024x619.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-300x181.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-768x464.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1536x928.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-2048x1238.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/16_SKODA_Explore_More-1568x948.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Alongside the electric Octavia, the Czech firm will launch a mini-SUV, which is going to replace the current generation B-segment hatchback Fabia. There will also be a 7-seater large-size SUV that will be based on Skoda&#8217;s recently announced concept called Vision 7S. Skoda will cover almost every category of the EV market by releasing a crossover SUV and an urban EV by 2026. These vehicles will look more rugged, just like the automaker&#8217;s new design language shown in the form of an SUV concept earlier this month.
Specs-wise, there is nothing official to report right now. But it is clear that Skoda wants us to take a clue from the Vision 7S concept, which has an 89-kWh battery pack, 600+ kilometers of WLTP range, and 200 kW DC charging support. Electric Octavia will most likely be one of the most competitive C-sedan with this configuration.

Fully-electric Skoda Octavia is officially in development

Passat, one of the most popular models of the German automaker Volkswagen, also has very good sales figures worldwide. The sedan model, which has sold more than 30 million units worldwide and is available in nearly 100 markets, is now replaced by Volkswagen ID. Aero.
Volkswagen, which has ended the production and sales of the Passat sedan in Europe, plans to fill the place vacated by the Passat at the Emden factory with the electric crossover ID4 and the electric sedan Aero.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-14923 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-1024x627.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="459" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-1024x627.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-300x184.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-768x470.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-1536x941.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-2048x1254.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/volkswagen-id-aero-horsepower-1568x960.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
<h2>Introducing Volkswagen ID. Aero</h2>
Volkswagen ID, whose drawings were shared recently. The Aero concept was officially introduced. The point in question was showcased as a preview of the electric sedan model. It will be released by the German manufacturer. It is close to production.
According to WLTP, not many details have been announced about the new car. It is also expected to provide a driving range of up to 385 miles/620 kilometers.
Volkswagen ID. Aero&#8217;s LED headlights, light strips extending to the logo, and honeycomb-patterned taillights are among the first striking details in its design standing out with its coupe-style silhouette.
When we look at the Aero from the side, besides the strong shoulder line, the glossy black roof and side mirror caps that harmonize with the pillars draw attention. But it is worth noting that the most striking point here is the door handles. Because Volkswagen preferred to use illuminated touch surfaces instead of ordinary door handles in the concept.
The production version of the ID. Aero will be sold first in China in the second  quarter of 2023. Subsequent cars will also come to the European and North American markets.

Volkswagen Introduces The New Sedan ID.Aero

Even though not having delivered a single 100 percent EV, Bentley&#8217;s CEO plans to burn through the sector&#8217;s specifications page. In the latest interview, Adrian Hallmark teased some specifications and pricing details for Bentley&#8217;s first EV.
According to Hallmark, the Bentley EV scheduled for 2025 will be capable of producing up to 1,400 hp. And it&#8217;s accelerating from 0-60 mph/0-97 kph in 1.5 seconds. If true, this new Bentley would outperform both the Tesla Model S Plaid with1,020 hp and the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance with 1,111 hp. Both of the speediest passenger EVs on the market, hitting 0-60 mph in under two seconds.
Some specifications solely could be a great selling point for EV connoisseurs with financial backing. Hallmark claims that the new Bentley&#8217;s essential selling point is not its unparagoned speed. He claims it will be the vehicle&#8217;s extremely simple outperforming due to instant torque.
<h2>Envisagement and Target Pricing</h2>
Hallmark did not provide any extra information about the latest Bentley EV. However, he did state that its design would be based on the Continental GT coupe, Flying Spur sedan, and Bentayga SUV from the automaker&#8217;s current roster. As Bentley appears to be going all-electric, Hallmark says all three models will be converted to BEV versions.
<h2>Piquant Strategy</h2>
The novel BEV will be created on the premium platform electric (PPE) advanced by Volkswagen Group divisions Porsche and Audi. The PPE will instantaneously provide Bentley with battery tech, drive components, and body functions. It also provides connected and autonomous car functionality.

Bentley EXP 100 GT
While there are no official valuations for the 2025 Bentley EV, its own CEO has stated that approximately one variant will cost more than €250,000/$262,000. For this kind of money, this EV had better go from 0 to 60 mph in 1.5 seconds while also providing massages.
What is fascinating is that the steep price argument is not due to the high cost of EV batteries. Hallmark stated that and continued:
&#8220;The 12-cylinder engine costs roughly ten times as much as the average premium car engine, and the average battery costs less than our 12-cylinder engine. I can&#8217;t wait for batteries, which are relatively inexpensive.&#8221;

Electrification is the best thing that ever happened to cars. The new era allows automakers to build more reliable, efficient vehicles, thanks to ditching so many components, such as huge gearboxes with dozens of moving parts. There are only a few moving parts left in a modern electric car. But there is also a very big battery pack, which is prone to degradation over time which could result in an EV losing its ability to hold energy.
Since the battery pack is the most expensive part of an electric vehicle, battery lifetime is a very important parameter for customers who are looking to buy an EV. In this article, we would like to answer some frequently asked questions regarding EV batteries, electric car battery lifetime, battery replacement costs, and repairability.
<h2>How Long Does An Electric Car Battery Last?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7091" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1024x576.jpg" alt="How long Electric Car Batteries Last" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/toyota-bz4x-battery-pack-21-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Lithium-ion batteries tend to lose their energy capacity over time. That is mostly due to extended usage. According to a study published by Cox Automotive, average car buyers assume that an electric vehicle battery only lasts around 100,000 kilometers (65,000 miles). Although electric car batteries are prone to losing their charge capacity, like every other energy storage solution, these batteries use state-of-the-art anode/cathode chemistries that allow them to last at least 10 years, sometimes even up to 20 years. Customers shouldn&#8217;t worry about wearing their battery any time soon.
Batteries will eventually start to degrade and lose charging capacity over time. The average loss of battery capacity is around 1.5 to 2.5 percent per year. According to Plug In America, the luxury sedan Tesla Model S’s battery only loses 5 percent of its original battery capacity over the first 80,000 km (50,000 miles).
Most manufacturers, including Nissan, Tesla, and Toyota, offer an eight-year (or 160,000 km/100,000 miles) warranty on their electric car batteries. Some automakers, such as Hyundai, provide lifetime coverage for their EV batteries. BMW, Chevrolet, Tesla, Volkswagen, and Nissan will also cover a battery pack replacement if its capacity drops to a certain percentage (70% in most cases). If the car has less than 70% of its original capacity before the end of the eighth year, the warranty will cover all battery replacement costs.
<h3>Electric Car Battery vs Smartphone Battery</h3>
Smartphones have no thermal management for the battery, and fast charging will result in a hot battery. In hot temperatures, battery reactions will speed up and degrade the battery quicker. That’s why smartphone batteries rarely last more than two years.
Electric cars, on the other hand, have advanced thermal management systems, which help the battery pack to optimize its efficiency and eliminate harmful effects of cold/hot temperatures caused by weather, heavy usage/lack of usage, etc.

According to <a href="https://about.bnef.com/blog/battery-pack-prices-fall-to-an-average-of-132-kwh-but-rising-commodity-prices-start-to-bite/">Bloomberg NEF</a>, the average price of lithium-ion batteries dropped from $1,160 per kWh in 2010 to $132 in 2021. Thanks to lower prices, electric car battery replacement costs are also dropping sharply. In order to decrease battery repair bills, automakers are also adopting the remanufactured battery pack strategy, similar to Tesla&#8217;s lower-cost replacement packs with refurbished battery modules.
There is sufficient data on the internet that tells us how much does a Tesla battery cost. According to <a href="https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/tesla-battery-replacement-cost-explained/">FindmyElectric.com</a>, Tesla Model S full battery replacement should cost between $13,000 to $20,000. A full battery replacement of the premium electric SUV Model X would be around $14,000-$21,000. Tesla&#8217;s mid-size EVs, namely Model 3 and Model Y, are cheaper to repair. The battery pack replacement of these models costs $11,000-$16,000 including labor, miscellaneous parts. The exact replacement cost varies depending on the condition of the battery pack.
Not all EV manufacturers use remanufactured packs to make battery replacement more affordable. Ford, for example, asks more than $43,000 for a brand-new Mustang Mach-E battery pack in Canada. But Ford dealers in the US will charge you around $18,000 to $24,000 for a Mach-E replacement.
<h3>Does Electric Car Battery Disposal Cause Pollution?</h3>
Electric vehicles technically don’t produce any exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide (CO) and NOx. These types of vehicles are definitely cleaner than ICE vehicles. But that doesn’t mean EVs don’t have any carbon footprint. Electric cars use electricity to charge up and a high portion of the electricity generation causes heavy pollution.
EVs are also indirectly polluting the environment with their battery packs. The production and disposal of lithium-ion batteries definitely cause pollution. Of course, batteries and electric vehicles are getting cleaner every day, thanks to stricter rules implemented by governments that encourage manufacturers to act more environment-friendly, and promising developments in the lithium-ion battery recycling industry.
When electric car batteries reach the end of their life, they can be recycled for valuable materials including lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, and graphite, which means electric car battery disposal can decrease EV&#8217;s carbon footprint.
Tesla already recycles batteries from its vehicles. Volkswagen’s pilot recycling plant for used EV batteries has also begun operations. Elon Musk expects the auto industry to have enough battery materials inside the existing EV fleet in the next 30-40 years, eliminating the need for mining new materials. The first European lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer Northvolt produced its first cell made “100 percent from recycled nickel, manganese, and cobalt”. But approximately half of the materials in an EV battery pack are recycled. There is still a very long way to go in the battery recycling business.

<h3>Is It Possible to Repair/Recondition An Electric Car Battery?</h3>
When auto services accept an electric car with the inspection of battery failure, first they run a routine diagnosis and determine how much of the original energy storage capacity the battery can still provide. If there are broken battery modules, and the total capacity degraded to a level lower than 70 percent, the electric car battery will most likely be replaced with a new unit.
The electric car services usually don&#8217;t just swap bad modules for good ones, instead, they replace the entire battery with a brand new or remanufactured one. After a new battery pack is installed, the broken/old one is sent back to factories where broken modules will be replaced with good ones, and any other battery pack problems are solved.
Tesla has been using a similar approach to fix battery packs. Ideally for Tesla, all replacement batteries are remanufactured.
