EV Battery Health, Safety and Ownership Risk

Real-world evidence continues to show slow average EV degradation—about 1–2% annually in one large analysis—with very low replacement rates, but AVILOO finds significant variation by model, mileage and individual vehicle. High-speed X-ray testing adds a promising way to observe thermal runaway and manufacturing defects, while portable charging and ownership evidence continue to highlight practical usability as a key risk factor.
