Batteries tend to longer if you don't completely drain them in each cycle. I strongly doubt the typical driver covers 200 miles in a day — otherwise cars would only last three years. IIRC you can extend the useful life of a typical Li-ion battery significantly by only charging it to 80% most of the time.
