EV Car Pack Degradation Forecast
Year-by-year capacity fade and usable kWh forecast for a ev car pack, to your end-of-life threshold.
Real-world EV packs lose ~1.8%/yr on average (Geotab fleet data) — fast-charging heat and 100% charging accelerate it, mild climates and 20–80% windows slow it. The forecast below compounds cycle wear and calendar fade into a usable-kWh table so EV owners and used-EV buyers can see exactly when capacity crosses the retirement threshold — and budget for it.
Fade/yr = cycle wear (20% × annual EFC ÷ 2,676 rated cycles at 70% DoD) + 2.0% calendar. Plan augmentation or replacement budgets against the usable-kWh column, not nameplate.
Engineering estimate from published standards and typical equipment data. Site conditions, equipment datasheets and measured data govern the real result — confirm with a qualified engineer.

Frequently asked questions
How much usable capacity will my battery have in 5 years?+
Typical duties: a daily-cycled LFP home battery retains ~88–92%; an NMC EV pack ~88–91%; a hot-climate hard-cycled pack can be at 80–85%. The forecast table computes your case from chemistry, cycles/day and DoD — and usable kWh, not percentages, is what runs your loads.
Should I plan replacement at 80% or 70% SoH?+
Depends what breaks first: if the battery still covers your backup/range needs at 70%, run it there — capacity fade is gradual, not a cliff. Grid contracts and EVs commonly retire at 70–80% because performance guarantees bind; home systems often run happily to 60%.
Can I slow my battery's fade once installed?+
Yes, meaningfully: keep it cool (shade, ventilation), narrow the cycling window (e.g., 20–85% instead of 0–100%), avoid storing at full charge, and limit fast charging in heat. Together these commonly stretch end-of-life by 30–50% versus careless duty.
Why does the EV Car Pack Degradation Forecast ask for cycles per day?+
Because throughput drives cycle wear: 1.5 cycles/day ages a battery three times faster than 0.5 — the same chemistry can last 4 years or 12 depending on duty. Estimate cycles/day as daily energy through the battery ÷ usable capacity.
