Used cars were all new cars at some point. In a place with 99% of new sales are EVs for an extended period of time, you'll eventually get to where used non-EVs in decent condition aren't affordable/obtainable. Especially when those people buying them are possibly disproportionately buying the non-EVs for ideological reasons and will hold on to them longer as non-EVs become more and more inaccessible.
I still think it would be interesting to see those stats.
