There is more than one company out there shucking old Insights and Leafs for their battery modules for stationary storage applications, check with them wrt resale value if they're procuring in your area before DIYing or trading the vehicle in to a traditional auto market maker.

If you can afford it, I recommend folks buy new EVs and leave old EVs to be repurposed for stationary storage (as current grid demand is voracious for storage, which will drive fossil generation out of the electrical mix faster). If you can't afford a new EV, certainly, a used EV is fine if you can live with the reduced range and fast charge challenges.
