I fully expect my 2017 EV to last for 15 years without significant degradation[1]. I see the usability of EV batteries like Solar panels - in about 10 years, they get to at worst 90% range, and are probably usable well into 20+ years.

Battery tech is what makes our present and future tech economy possible [2].

[1] I don't baby my EV - always charge to 100%, use fast chargers, don't worry about getting it to 10% or lower. It has lost maybe 5% of it's rated capacity.

[2] with apologies to CEO Morgan from SMAC.
