Mentally people still map EV batteries to the batteries used in power tools and phones. None of which last over 5 years in a usable state.

EV batteries have statistical historical data proving they easily last 10-15 years before falling to even 80% of maximum - and these are the 10-15 year old batteries, current ones are even better.
