Most EV manufacturers are offering around 8 year/160,000-200,000km warranties on the batteries.
So not 200,000miles. But definitely covering the average usage pattern.
And not all will last that long, but the majority will. And potentially the worst case is just degradation - I.e. 200km range instead of 400km range, so still quite useful for a variety of use cases even outside of cars.

Yes, current EV batteries (not the old Nissan Leaf ones without active cooling) are projected to last as long as 3 million kilometres: https://youtu.be/7DYknTVskTw?t=325

I am under the impression that battery trains do not last anything like that long - am I misinformed?
Doesn't change the maths much, but curious
