A new study has revealed a surprising discovery about Tesla’s longevity compared to other EVs.
Tesla seems to be leading the charge when it comes to efficiency, lifespan and mileage.
While electric cars are pretty much equal with internal combustion engine driven cars when it comes to their statistics, it will be interesting to see if the results of these findings affect EV sales.
This is not the first time that the efficiency of EVs has been tested and they are really holding themselves well.

The study and its surprising discovery
While small studies comparing EVs and vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) are very popular, this new study from Nature Energy compares what happens when you compare all of the makers of popular EV models.
It probably comes as no surprise that the exclusively EV producing company, Tesla comes out on top in a lot of the classic EV categories.
What was surprising was just how much better on average Tesla performed in comparison to other EVs (according to the study).
Tesla’s on top
According to the study, the electric vehicle brand ranked first in vehicle lifespan.
The average electric car normally covers around 125,000 miles in its lifetime, but the study findings revealed that on average, a Tesla covers around 204,000 miles in its lifetime.
In terms of quality usable years, the average EV has a lifespan of 18.4 years but a Tesla has almost two extra years of usability.
The study also revealed that Tesla batteries often outlast their vehicles, with some reports claiming that old Tesla batteries are being recycled as grid storage to enhance clean energy.
An EV driver often will save more money than the average diesel driver, but the study revealed that over five years, an EV driver will spend $4000 on charging, while the diesel counterpart will spend $9,500.
So, according to this study, Tesla drivers have earned their feeling of car superiority.
