It is unlikely that the battery would wear out faster than other key components in an EV or hybrid.
There is plenty of real world data from tesla model S owners showing that the batteries easily last more than 200k miles, which is about how long cars in the US last before getting scrapped.

The same is more or less true for Priuses, their batteries last around 150-200k miles.
- toxik 5y agoWhat I take from that graph is that there is not enough data to say what happens beyond 50k miles.
- reportingsjr 5y agoReally? The data in the second graph appears to corroborate with the testing graphs that Tesla themselves have released, which is what the first graph is.
