Another data point: the startups Renault was funding to reuse old vehicle batteries in stationary applications once they went below 85% capacity were starved of batteries to use, because the Renault battery packs last so long. They had to pivot to recycling tool batteries by shredding them!
Source: I have a 6 year old Renault Zoe with more than 95% of it's original capacity. The only thing that's wearing out is the suspension and interior. The battery will outlast 3 chassis at this rate, it it was possible to transfer it to a new car.
