From Transport Evolved.

There’s a persistent piece of disinformation that we know isn’t the case – the claim that EV batteries need to replaced frequently and after very short distances. Lots of research shows that isn’t the case, but the last few years have seen several high profile battery recalls from multiple manufacturers.

So what’s that about, will it keep happening, and should you worry about buying an EV now?
