Id suggest ICE vehicles also have an unknown depreciation curve as they are very much subject to the whims of state interventions.
It's stuff like this that seems to suggest used EV values aren't perhaps going well: https://newsletter.autocar.co.uk/car...values-plummet

I don't have an issue with electric cars, some of the small ones have a place in the world. I do have an issue with ridiculous SUVs, especially things like the 2.8-ton iX, but that's not EV-specific (although the electric ones weigh more than the ICE equivalents). There's not one EV that suits my needs right now so I'll stick with my small ICE car until it's no longer viable. If I had to replace it tomorrow, I'd not consider an EV.
