EVs are also more likely to have aluminum (or other non-steel) body panels, which hold up better to salt and other corrosive elements. If you need an EV to work in the very coldest of conditions (-22F/-30C) plan on it getting 50% of its advertised range during cold-soak conditions. Preconditioning will improve this, but not always possible when coming from work.
I also suggest with EVs over ten years old you should discuss battery swapping to modern batteries with better chemistry, and more range, no need to dispose of the car. Plus that older EV is more than paid for after ten years.
