How long does the Toyota Prius battery last?

I'm thinking about buying a Toyota Prius, but I'm concerned about the battery life. How long can I expect the battery to last before needing to be replaced?

The Toyota Prius has a proven battery life of over 150,000 miles. With proper maintenance and driving habits, you can expect the battery to last at least 10-12 years.

Some owners have reported issues with their Prius battery, but these are typically due to extreme temperatures or driving habits. If you live in a moderate climate and drive conservatively, you should have no problems with the battery.

If you do end up needing a battery replacement, it can be expensive. However, many auto shops and dealerships offer refurbished or aftermarket batteries at a lower cost. Just make sure to do your research and choose a reputable supplier.

To maximize the lifespan of your Prius battery, avoid frequent fast charging and try to maintain a consistent charge level. Driving on the highway at high speeds can also drain the battery quicker, so try to balance out your city and highway driving.
