That assumes that EV batteries are used to 100% and will reach end-of-life together with the rest of the car or before the rest of the car. That is increasingly untrue. If your EV battery would outlive your car then you can use some of those "extra" cycles at very low marginal costs (until there is an efficient market for used EV batteries for old cars).

Another factor is that not all charge/discharge cycles are the same. Going between 60% and 80% five times is a lot lighter on the battery than going between 0% and 100% once. Which pairs great with EV batteries, because their batteries are deliberately oversized compared to average use to account for uncommon events.
