It depends on the application.

There are applications where extremely high cycle life will be required.

Based on a report sample from Circular Energy Storage report:


First example (the most extreme)

Cars?
Well, this is from Tesla website:


No problem, right? But what about taxis? (not talking about robotaxis)

Here is another screen from the Circular Energy Storage report.
This is based on 40 kWh Nissan Leaf




What about trucks, semi trucks? Also, one charging cycle per day? Same case.

I'm pretty sure stationary storages will require high life cycle as well.
