Bonus if you can replace the battery.

Easiest car to replace the battery, the old Nissan Leaf. Would I recommend it in general? Only if you live in a place that does not get hot

What's wrong with hot? I've driven mine around North Carolina without an issue. Not sure if that counts as hot though

The Leaf has an air-cooled battery; most other EVs use liquid cooling. In theory that means it will not last as long in a hot climate. I don’t know if that has turned out to be a real problem though.
