The batteries seem to be fine - they're doing better than most people expected. But the dashboard will give you the battery's predicted range. You might as well ask how many people will buy a 10 year old ICE with a knackered gearbox! I paid £250 down, then £250 per month for my last EV. Insurance was roughly the same as an ICE. But that will depend on the driver and area as much as the vehicle. Are there sub £1,000 beaters in the EV market? No. You can buy an ancient petrol Clio - and then keep spending to keep it running. But I daresay it'll cost you more in petrol than you'd save in electricity.
