There are 20 year old used hybrid-electric cars, which work exactly the same way. Older Priuses are still around. I found several used 2002 Priuses (have to go to Japan to find earlier, I think). (Although Prius didn’t really start selling a lot until the 2004 refresh.) https://www.edmunds.com/inventory/srp.html?make=toyota&model=prius&year=2001-2001&inventorytype=used%2Ccpo&initialUrlPattern=make%2Fmodel%2Fyear&radius=6000 https://www.edmunds.com/inventory/srp.html?make=toyota&model... People regular go hundreds of thousands of miles on their used Priuses. I own a 2012 Leaf and a 2013 Tesla that I intend to drive for another 6-10 years. Both work great. (Also selling a 2012 Volt which is fantastic but doesn’t have enough seats so I’m selling.)
