Except there are thousands of EVs out there older than 7 years old that have no problem with their batteries. The whole point of this article is that batteries are lasting much longer than the earlier assumption suggested. Your assumption of 300-500 charge cycles is an example of that. Actual charge cycles are 3-5 times greater. Aside from some problems with early chemistries like the Nissan Leaf battery, battery life is not a problem for long lasting EVs.
