With proper care and good habits, an EV's battery should hold up for a long long time.
The second piece of good news is that it shouldn't be hard for the average driver to implement smart battery practices to significantly extend the pack's lifespan. In particular, through intelligent temperature and state-of-charge management and judicious use of high-powered fast-charging, EV owners should be able to keep their batteries going for decades.
Similarly, most EVs work to keep the battery warm on cold days. Because letting the battery drop below freezing temperatures can also damage its internal structure, an EV is usually designed to use some of the energy from the battery to keep the battery at a safe temperature.
In fact, some manufacturers build some safety margin into the battery management system itself, creating a "usable" capacity that is actually 5 to 10 percent less than the real total capacity of the battery, and using a software lock that prevents the battery from fully charging or discharging. In this way, the battery is kept in the safest, least damaging range of operation.
