Usually battery packs in cars last a very long time; the battery management software in car battery packs are far more sophisticated than the one in your phone.
Furthermore, car battery packs are over provisioned; for example, if the specified battery pack is rated at 75kwh, the battery may have as much as 90kwh in capacity from the factory, and the battery is allowed to gracefully degrade, eating into the over provisioned capacity.
Finally, batteries may not require a total replacement; often the entire battery pack can be opened at a service centre, and each individual battery cell can be tested and replaced as needed to restore capacity.
