Most electric cars are able to switch packs fairly easily.
For example, all eNiro are currently being recalled due to faulty LG Chem packs. They’re not totalling the cars, they’re just switching them out.
Both Renault and Nissan have battery leasing schemes where you don’t own the pack and they’re swapped as needed.
It’s expensive now but, when batteries on things like the current Tesla actually need changing (around 250-500k miles), batteries will be much lower cost.

Isn't the big problem with EVs what happens when you need to change the battery pack? From what I've seen that totals your car straight away as replacing it is so prohibitively expensive... Not a problem for you leasing types but what about everyone else that buys in to electric? Serious question BTW, not trolling...
