The life of the Li-battery is not yet known. The question is for how long the performance of the Li-battery guaranteed. The car battery will last the longest if kept charged between 20% and 80%. Your car battery full charge is detrimental. This means that (in the folder) specified radius of your car decreases by 20% if you want to keep your car in top shape.For some brands, the specified range seasonal. During the winter months, the efficiency of your car battery down and reduce your range.

This temperature control is at the expense of the range. For example, the Opel Ampera is less than 1/3 of the supplied electrical energy is transferred to the temperature control.
