1% a year? That's bullshit. Might get 1% to 2% loss a year (after the rapid initial loss) if you never direct current fast charge AND never charge above 70% or let the charge drop below 20%. But to do that you have to wait forever to charge, which means overnight only, and your range is 50% of advertised.
If you use DCFC and charge to 100% and drop to close to discharged your going to lose at least 35% of your battery capacity by 50,000 miles.
