Global warming (being sarcastic) Is killing 'THE GREEN NEW DEAL' as we speak,
we shopped for a EV back in 2013 for my wife,she parked in a large parking garage with really small spaces ,so we went out looking for something small,wound up at a toyota dealership and she test drove a PRIUS (insert jetsons car noise) got back and i said how long does that battery last ,salesman said around 7yrs or so ,i said how much do they cost to replace ,he said around ten thousand or so ,we both said thank you BYE.
You can replace the battery pack in a Prius for less than $2k, it's even a DIY thing unlike an EV. Interestingly we have a Lexus CT200h which uses the same battery pack and no issues at ten years so far even in this cold. I know people with even older Priuses still on their original battery packs. NiMH batteries aren't as energy dense but last longer than Lithium Ion.
