I have seen some test results on ID3 after 100000 km and still everything is quite good on the car. Battery is not damaged like on a cellphone if that is your worry.
See alot of "battery replacement cost" blah blah. 1) I have had 4 hybrid work cars (3 Camry and 1 Prius) All driven to 150k or more miles without battery issue. 2) Battery is warrantied by Toyota for 10 yrs unlimited miles 3) If you drive car alot the battery will last along time. If it sits 5 days week and you dont drive alot the battery has a small chance to be bad in 10 yrs. 10 YEARS and that like worst case if sits and not driven combined with being outside in really hot or really cold or both (Northeast). I've never seen it though in 4 cars.
My 2006 Prius's original battery went to 150,000 miles before needing replacement.
I have put 50k+ miles on my 09 Highlander Hybrid in the last 2 years. It charges to 76% and provides 27-30mpg depending on conditions. I love it.
My old prius was 16 years old and 370.000km battery was fine
I had a 2008 Highlander hybrid that I sold to a coworker. The battery is still strong but the fan that cools the batteries gave out. He had that fixed and it is still running fine today.
My Prius is 13 years old with 187,000 miles still getting 47mpg. I think the battery paid for itself 100,000 miles ago.
On a Jetta, it will leave you stranded, and it being a VW, the symptoms will be nothing like a dead battery, most likely.
Mine crapped out at 34 months. I bought a new one from VW since they had a 5-year warranty on it and it's still going...
the battery in my 2016 died while JUST inside the 36k warranty. the OEM replacement lasted another 30k or so. bought an AGM replacement from Costco, but I don't expect it to last any longer.
