In practice, reduced range hasn't been a problem in the Used Car market to date. Outside of some well known issues with especially early model Nissan Leafs, the majority of EVs that have entered the used market have not seen dramatic reductions in range in their expected lifetimes. (If anything the used market is seeing the opposite problem: batteries are generally exceeding their expected lifetimes and in part because of that EVs are staying in the hands of first owners for far longer than comparable ICE models.)

Reduced range is far more a "PR problem" than a "real problem". For the most part, people extrapolate from the problems they have with battery life in smartphones, which are constrained by size and thermal management in ways a car isn't, and assuming it is a problem where it isn't one in practice.
