Longevity of electric vehicle batteries has been queried, not only by the naysayers. Well here is a data point for all interested parties:
On 06 March, Erick Belmer posted on a Volt owners' group on Facebook that his 2012 Chevrolet Volt had passed 300,000 miles (483,000 km), 103,000 miles (166,000 km) on battery. Just as importantly – no detectable loss of battery capacity or range!
