Don't look at miles, look at rust, most of the wear from miles is on the engine and if you have an automatic transmission it's on the transmission as well, an electric motor is going to put a new kind of wear on an automatic and it's a new challenge, the one guy I know who has an automatic EV is putting as much work in the automatic as he is the rest of the EV.
If you find a car that is not junk that has 500,000 miles on it that has less rust then a car with 10,000 miles on it, I'd buy the one with less rust any day.
