Off Topic » in reply to Hmmm. Anyone know how long batteries last in a hybrid?

For those who are interested.

Toyota expects the original battery to last the life of the car, no matter how long. They say the only replacements so far have been due to accidents. There are reports of up to 350,000 miles on the original battery.

The efficiency can deteriorate, though, up to 13%.

And the street cost for replacement is around $3,000.

Far, far better than I would have thought.
