How long should a hybrid battery last?
How long should the battery last on a Hyundai Tucson (2021 on) 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid. And how much to replace with new or used?

The manufacturer guarantees the battery for a minimum of eight years, but in all likelihood it should last longer than that. We haven't seen any replacement batteries of this type for sale yet as the model is still relatively new and the batteries are under warranty still, so it's impossible at this stage to give a replacement price.

I am thinking of buying a new Kia Niro hybrid for when I retire this year and probably keep it for about 10 years.
Would it be viable to keep it that long, due to cost of batteries?
