The UK government is considering making new laws to deal with ensuring electric cars’ longevity. Over time, the battery in an electric car can lose power, which means the car cannot drive as far and costs more money to fix. The new laws could make electric car makers tell people how much the battery will lose power and make them give a guarantee that the battery will still work well for a certain amount of time.
If the new laws happen, it could make people feel surer about buying electric cars because they know the battery will work well for a longer time. This might also make electric car makers try to make better batteries that last longer. If more people use electric cars, it can help the environment by making less pollution and better air in cities.
