The newest LiNMC chemistries will easily make 1000 cycles to 80% and that is with deeper cycling during testing than what will be programmed into any final product. More like 2,500 to 70%.
So 2500 cycles is maybe 10 years, no? Not very long, at least to someone whose current vehicles are 16 and 28 years old.
