Is a severly damaged/repaird EV something to avoid?

We are looking at used EV's, and found a few that have been in multiple accidents. One car had $24k worth of repairs after an accident, then another accident that cost $18k and then a third at $22k. I guess in all of these crashes the batteries were damaged and replaced.
So does that mean you get a repaired car with all brand new batteries in it? Seems like that might not be so bad eh.
If you buy a car that had say $3k in repairs, then it didn't get new batteries, so that seems pretty bad doesn't it?
