A key concern for anyone considering a used electric car is battery longevity. Fortunately, the high number of long-distance electric vehicles on British roads suggests that battery life is more robust than some might expect—particularly in the case of Teslas.

Teslas are proving to be remarkably durable. A 2024 report revealed that over 309 Teslas have surpassed 200,000 miles, while more than 5,300 have exceeded 100,000 miles. Remarkably, one Model S has clocked nearly 700,000 miles—equivalent to circling the globe 28 times, according to LeaseLoco's October analysis of MOT data.
