Losses in battery capacity are probably what drives most of the loss. A modern engine probably has half of it's life+ left at 100,000 miles. An electric is looking at replacing it's "engine" aka battery pack at this time.

My point in not so many words.
Thanks for elaborating.

IF you can even get a replacement battery pack it may be used or poorly refurbed.
That and it will cost ~20k without including the labor.
At that point, go buy a old gaser for 5k and drive it for the next 100k+ miles and maybe put ~5-8k in maintenance or repairs into it over the years.

And that is a good point. Is the pack available? Will it work in the car? Will the car even recognize it?
