Capacity degradation is still gradual but the cells will outright fail at a higher rate. A good ICE car can last more than 20 years with good maintenance. Here in EU in my country there is a significant market for cars with 200k km. And this in turn maintains their value for previous owners. A lot of the time this is their original owner. But a 200k 10 year old EV might be un-sellable.dont think for a minute any engine dont have a much greater chance of failure over 200k miles yes some make it but there's also teslas with over 500k miles on original battery.
