All those are factors that affect life. Same with your cordless power tools and laptops etc.

Age and temp are big factors.

Seems like an algorithm wouldn’t be that hard to incorporate many of the variables and display some sort of ‘remaining life’ metric, but automakers might be slow to embrace that idea. A calculation of total charging and discharging watts would cool.
