How long is the expected battery life of Tata Curvv EV?
Battery life is one of the most common concerns about EVs, but modern batteries are quite durable. The Curvv will use lithium-ion NMC cells which typically last for: 2000+ full charge cycles before significant degradation 8-10 years of normal use before capacity drops below 80% 15+ years total useful life (with reduced range)A "charge cycle" is from 0-100%, but since most people charge from 20-80%, you're actually using only 0.6 cycles per charge. At 15,000 km annually and 400 km range, that's about 37 full cycles per year, meaning the battery should last 20+ years* before needing replacement for most users. The battery will likely outlast the rest of the car!
The Tata Curvv EV's battery is expected to last 8-10 years before significant degradation, and potentially 15+ years with reduced capacity. Most modern EV batteries are designed to retain:- 80-85% capacity after 8 years- 70-75% capacity after 10 years- 60%+ capacity after 15 yearsThe actual lifespan depends on several factors: charging habits, climate, and usage patterns. Tata's battery management system with liquid cooling should help maximize lifespan by maintaining optimal temperature and preventing stressful charging conditions.
