Batteries do go out but it’s something like less than 2.5% of EVs made since 2011 have needed a battery replacement. If you only count EVs made after 2015 it’s less than 1%. All the early models before 2015 were pretty terrible with no thermal management systems on the batteries. Unless you are shopping for a gen1 Nissan LEAF with 43 miles of useable range you will almost certainly not have to worry about battery replacement.
From my observations a modern EV battery will usually last at least 150-300k miles.
