Sounds like that's roughly the average usable lifetime for the battery, so you will break even on average.

I think most electric car batteries are still at over 80% capacity after 10 years usage, so hopefully you can use them much longer than that.

If you only cycle then in the 20-80% range, they'll last much longer (at least for NMC cells, not sure how LFP works).

Roughly the usable lifetime? Based on what?
