Pretty much the same as ICE cars, at least where I live. > My worry is buying an EV with a used battery - as the battery feels like the inevitable failure point They are, but so are combustion engines (not to mention gearboxes!). A new engine for example would cost more than most second-hand cars are worth. The solution to a broken battery would be the same as with a broken engine: either repair it, or replace it with a second hand one. Battery packs can be repaired, though it does require special tools and (safety) skills, just like with combustion engines.
