DB, Tesla are reporting EV batteries still retaining 95% of charge at 10 years. Far from a 5 year life as you suggest. And who keeps their cars that long anyway? Most cars are scrap before they are 10 years old, it's why are, mostly, a liability rather than an asset. With a second life in energy storage, or recycled for raw material recovery, there will be an increasing value to end of life EV batteries to offset that replacement cost.
