li-ion battery lifespans are generally calculated in power cycles. They don't really age with years... Generally, power cells have about 300-500 power cycles until there is a significant drop in performance. This is one of the major faults of EV that is often quoted, as some parts of the batteries aren't recycled. So, you're essentially trading the co2 pollution to toxic waste. maybe you should check the facts before you spout nonsense yourself?
