EV batteries degrade over time, they generally don't just die. There are some batteries which have 300,000 miles on them. Not sure how they degrade over time without as much driving. Right now, replacing a Tesla battery pack is $16,000. That puts a pretty hard bottom on the resale value of old cars. It's really hard to say what the market will look like for older EVs. Battery prices come down every year so it feels like in 10 years the $16k battery pack will be a lot less expensive. You might be able to pick up an older Tesla with a run down battery that has really shitty range. It's hard to say, for the moment cheap used EVs are mostly LEAFs. Used Teslas, even older ones tend to be pricey.
