Absolutely. Used EVs don't have the mechanical degradation of ICE drivetrains. Think of all the things that you expect to replace on a 200,000-ish km gas vehicle: fuel pump, alternator, timing belt, power steering pump, possibly transmission. None of those exist on an EV. Battery degradation is slow, and doesn't take the vehicle off the road. It's the equivalent of a gradually shrinking gas tank. There's the non-drivetrain wear items, like tires, front end/suspension components, wiper blades, etc, but those have the same costs as on ICE vehicles.
In a generation from now, when most drivers are familiar with EV, odometer reading will be a less important metric for judging vehicle condition and likely maintenance/repair costs. Prospective buyers will ask for a copy of the vehicle's battery health report instead, and sellers will post pictures of the report in their ads.
There's good deals around on used Lightnings. Back in 2022 and 2023, the price difference between standard and extended range battery pack was about $16,000, before taxes. Today, that gap is blurred down to around half of that, or even less. And Ford loaded up those first release trucks with a lot of goodies to reward the early adopters which have been pared back since then. For example, the XLT in 22/23 got the 312A High package which included power tailgate, dual zone climate control, console work station, tailgate step, bed lighting and holddown package, power adjustable seats, power adjustable pedals, 9.6 kW onboard power, puddle lights, 360 camera system, Copilot driver assist, 12" touch screen, heated front seats, steering wheel and mirrors. Gas F150 buyers in those years had to buy the Lariat to access that package, as do Lightning buyers today, otherwise adding those items as individual options made the truck unaffordable. That early Lightning XLT was basically a Lariat minus the leather seats and laptop-sized centre screen. They were a somewhat rare bird, but a 22/23 XLT with the ER pack would be a prime buy - if you could find one. The only hardware improvement for MY2024 and beyond is the heat pump HVAC system, which reduces winter range loss. All the other improvements were in software, and those have been provided to early buyers in over the air updates.
