Researchers make surprising discovery about lifespan of EV batteries: ‘That was a shock’

https://www.yahoo.com/news/researchers-surprising-discovery-lifespan-ev-110000330.html
The cost of replacing an EV battery can range from $5,000 to $22,000, which few people would be willing to pay, especially on a used car whose warranty is up. Data from the study positively showed that, outside of official recalls, only 1.5% of cars had batteries replaced.
Typical useless article that is very light on details such as:

How many cars had batteries replaced? 1.5% does not tell us that
Why were they replaced? (damaged from accidents or actual outright failures)
Breakdown of (manufacturer, model) with batteries replaced.
