used? hah! the only reason people sell EV's is because the batteries are too expensive to replace
Depends on what kind of battery is in it. The Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries can handle several thousand cycles before needing to be replaced, which basically means that they'll last the lifetime of the vehicle. NCA batteries are much more short lived, designed to last 200K miles but some probably last much less than this.
Tesla uses both kinds of batteries, depending on the model. Unsure on some of the others manufacturers, but I do expect lithium Iron Phosphate batteries to be the dominant chemistry long term (until Lithium Ion itself gets replaced, that is).
