I leased a 2014 Spark EV for 3 years and drove it almost 45,000 miles in the extreme heat of the Palm Springs, CA area. The car was charged to 100% every night, it was regularly run down to < 10 miles of range and it was often charged at a DC fast charging station and most of its miles were on the freeway.I only have my anecdotal experience and nothing more than the battery range estimate to measure degradation but after 3 years it was still showing over 80 miles of range and the only problem I ever had with the car is when the 12V battery died which is pretty much par for the course for 12V lead acid batteries in hot climates, I rarely get 3 years out of them.
