I'm curious, what factors affect the lifespan of electric car batteries? Generally, how long does it take for them to drop to 80% capacity? How much do temperature and usage habits impact this? Also, what's the recycling process like for these batteries?
How long do electric car batteries last?

Just like the batteries in smartphones that run on lithium‑ion cells, electric car batteries lose about 2‑3% of their capacity after every 1,000 full charges; that means they drop to around 80% capacity after roughly 8‑10 years of typical use.
