My 8yo Outlander still has ~80% of original range on lithium batteries.
You might be one of those people keeping cars for 20 years, but majority swap cars much more frequently so lithium battery degradation is not really an issue.
A little over 70k miles on odo. Covid subtracted about a year worth of miles. I can’t even guesstimate charge/discharge cycles unfortunately.
When I bought the car I couldn’t charge at home for the first year so I wasn’t charging much and drove it like a regular hybrid.
After 1 year I was able to charge at home and doing about 90% electric driving. Discharging ~100% and recharging fully every night on days I drove the car.
Could you link some stats for this?

Interesting. I have no stats. Do you have any idea how many miles or how many charge/discharge cycles you’ve done?
