The average ICE will be working with a full range at ten years old. The same will not be true of EVs without a major investment in battery replacement.

If you don't do an overhaul and replace your rings, a high milage ICE car will not have the same range as new.

"full range" is a nonsense metric though. Different cars have different tank and battery sizes, and what matters is whether the range fits your needs.
All else equal, a range that degrades from 300 to 230 miles is better than a range that starts at 210 miles and stays there forever.

The statistics aren't backing you up on this.
