Battery replacement anxiety might be a real thing, but the batteries can and do last a long time. Hybrids tell us they can, when used a fair bit. My 2008 Camry Hybrid (August 2007 Build date) still has the original battery with no sign of problems, albeit it is not a lithium battery pack.

That said look at the trouble early Leaf owners are in, five years old and batteries are dying and it’s basically impossible to get a new one. Owners are told, “just buy a new car”.
