There is the misconception that a car battery degrade like a smartphone battery does.
What degrades the battery in a smartphone is full charge-discharge and doing so very quickly (playing demanding games and charging ultra fast). That's why the batteries in our phones degrade so quickly.
In a car, the battery is much bigger. Therefore, you can easily stay within 20%-80% for daily use and exceptionally go up to 100% before a long trip. Charging at home, you have a slow charge and therefore very nice for the battery. Cars have a BMS (battery management system) that pilots the charge-discharge to prevent it from overheating and degrading (that's why you charge quicker when battery is low and slower when battery is high).
And, the bigger the battery, the less "cycles" you do for a given distance. Therefore, bigger batteries should theoretically last longer than smaller batteries (plug-in hybrids for instance). Not saying that we should put 1 ton batteries in our cars though ;o).
