The new battery will be able to endure more than 10,000 charging cycles -- 20 times more than the current 500 cycles of today's batteries. Today's batteries are seem to be a lot better than only good for 500 cycles. If you had an all electric, charged overnight, drove to work and recharged there, this would mean batteries would need to be replaced a little more than every year.

Today's batteries are seem to be a lot better than only good for 500 cycles. That's full discharge/recharge cycles. If you're only draining half before charging, you'd get (roughly) twice as many charges.
