Not surprisingly, the worst degradation happens in PHEVs and not BEVs, due to the much lower battery capacity of the PHEV, much higher cycling, much higher average depth-of-discharge, and insufficient energy to maintain the temperature of the batteries while the vehicle is parked. But I didn't expect to see the Outlander at the top of the heap for first-year degradation.
