Toyota claims they have never had to replace a battery even though many early Prii have been in service for years and well over 200k. I'm not sure that I believe "never," but the number is apparently very low.
Cost, I was told by multiple dealers, is around $2k. I'm not sure how they know this, given that it's supposed to have never happened, but that's what they said.
I did a lot of research before we bought. After reading a lot of info, I figured that the environmental impact of the manufacture/mining process takes about 100K to repay in fuel savings, using a Corolla for comparison. Other comparisons--say a Highlander Hybrid to a regular Highlander--would take far longer to net an environmental zero.
