Modern batteries can last a long while though. If you take care of it and mostly keep it between 25-75% and don't supercharge it too often. There are Teslas with more than 300K miles on the original battery.
I have a model 3 with ~80K kilometers and the battery is as good as new. 2018 model. For someone that drives 10-15K km a year there's maybe 30 years more driving on this battery (400K km).
My previous ICE car had two head gasket replacements in the 10 years I owned it. I also had to replace the entire engine. Oil changes. Brake pads/discs, CV joints... So far the EV is way ahead and based on the current battery degradation should remain ahead.

EV battery life is more related to calendar age, rather than number of charge cycles and C charging rate.

- flowerthoughts 1y agoFor a Tesla with under-the-hood/enforced telemetry, I guess you could actually know what the previous owner did.
- foxglacier 1y agoYou have battery health stats which can reflect poor charging habits of the previous owner.
