Battery only lasts about 12 years of normal use before needing replacement hence the poor secondhand values. What are you going to run it on, gasoline?
The 12 years you’re referring to is a assuming batteries without thermal management via nrel modeling, the ioniq 6 must face HEAFTY import taxes in your country (which is not the fault of the vehicle), and there are alternatives to running on gasoline like recycling the old cell (already a reality) and replacing it with another.
Again stop equating USD to AUD, that price also includes government subsidies and tax breaks, eg NO tax! Frankly I don’t care if you do or don’t believe me, they have a website, it gives you the cost subsidies and tax breaks pretty clearly.
So far as the life time goes 12 years is very generous based on country average 25,000km per annum
