It depends on the EV. The replacing battery packs in the Nissan Leaf is relatively common. Replaceing battery packs in EVs with active BMS and liquid cooling is pretty rare.

In the end the jury is still out. There are very few 15 year old EVs.

I have marked the Leaf off my list now that Nissan has increased the price for a replacement battery pack from $5500 to $8500.
