You can find basic information here. Prius Myths and their Rebuttals

Otherwise they are just like any other car part. Some have died at 100k others are still going strong after 300k. I have not noticed many failures though considering the high number of Prius out there.

SUPERSTAR - it says you have an 08 with a solar top?

anyways, if your inquiry is serious, the hybrid components in california is warranty'ed up to 150,000 miles. no worries.

Having followed this for a couple of years, I have the impression that the hybrid battery usually lasts the life of the car. For the unlucky outlier who suffers a battery failure, there seem to be enough of them from salvage to meet the not-so-brisk demand at fair prices. Conventional cars also have plenty of complex parts that can give trouble.

I have a 2001 Prius, and my hybrid battery had to be replaced at 95,000 miles. I was happy that it was still under warranty. I don't know if this reflects the average. I also bought it used, so I have no idea what effect the previous owner had on that.
