It will be interesting to see the crossover when EVs begin to remain on the road longer than their ICE counterparts.
With 10 year warranties on batteries, I expect most modern EVs (from circa 2017+) will have useful range left at 15 years old.
The first Leaf, VW, and lesser known EVs had rapidly degrading batteries, but modern EVs appear to have much more robust conditioning and chemistry.
We'll know around 2032.
