You still need to replace the battery pack, sell the car at a hefty discount with a degraded pack or pay for a new and expensive pack replacement. Don't worry, the barrier of entry into EV is still high. The complexity moves from the mecahanical side into the battery cooling and adaptive charge/discharge strategy, adaptive software for drive assist and instead of the spare parts costs you've got a hefty battery replacement cost that's like 20-30% or a new car. Plus less competition from used cars, since they come with degraded batteries.
