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.
