Models are new, and some manufacturers are unknown to the buyers. Used batteries are an unknown. That means the difference between buying a new car and a used one is bigger in terms of the percieved value to the buyer. If I buy a new ICE car I pay a premium of $5-10k for having the benefit of owning it the first couple of years with hall the warranties. It's peace of mind at a reasonable cost. The cost of that benefit is going to be bigger both in absolute (because of the higher price) and relative terms for BEVs for the foreseeable future. Especially for newer brands like the new chinese players, but also for Tesla which is still young.
