I don't know if ProllyInfamous is correct about electric vehicle batteries degrading more from age than from cycling, but it is an effect that shows up in batteries. The terms to describe the effects are "cycle life" and "calendar life." Increasing calendar age can degrade batteries that just sit there without deliberate charge or discharge processes. An example would be an old package of Duracell batteries, never used, that sat in the closet for decades and lost power before they ever went into a remote control. Those batteries reached the end of their calendar life.
