If you drive your EV for less than 40km (25 miles) each day then topping up the battery to 80-90% may be shortening its life. By thoughtful charging you could still have 90% capacity in your battery after 23 years.
Note: A DST cycle is not the same as a “cycle” for calculating battery life. For example, discharging from 75% to 65% ten times is equivalent to one full cycling of the battery, when referencing the manufacturer’s data sheet.
