The cost of replacement batteries is just under $4000 (in 2006 dollars).
One must take this into consideration when purchasing a used hybred vehicle, and for the owner when selling his (unwanted) hybred vehicle.

Idaho National Labs has tested these things past 180k miles with no appreciable drop in mpg.
And the cost for the battery is dropping rapidly - the new Prius is under $3000 AU in Australia for a “book” cost for replacement.
