🇩🇪 HEAG mobilo GmbH's Arne Rath: e-bus batteries are lasting longer than expected — and are improving their economics 🔗 The article: https://lnkd.in/dVd4Mn4v 🗣️ "When we started our investment in 2020, we thought batteries' lifetime would be eight years, with a state of health of 80%. After five years, we saw they still had around 90% capacity. So sometimes it works better than expected. Now we think the batteries will last 10 years. This year they are six years old and still just under 90% original capacity. Also the batteries we bought in 2021 still have more than 97% capacity after five years" #bus #publictransport #electricbus #emobility #sustainablebus #transit #HEAGmobilo #Darmstadt #Germany #ZeroEmission
