We don't even know if the batteries on those things will worsen with time, like all other batteries do.
You cant replace the battery on a EW, it's cheaper to buy a new car.
BEV/Hybrids have been around a while, there's places you can buy individual cells when they die and it's pretty easy to replace them. As time goes by, it should become no harder than going to the auto parts store like we do with regular ICEs. Unless they do shady stuff like making the batteries OEM only, like how Apple do with their batteries.
