My prius is 8 years old and is about as far away from needing a new pack as the day it rolled off the lot. Consumer reports recently tested their first gen (01 I think) Prius recently which has the original battery pack and tested to see and the mileage was still exactly the same. There are Prius' out there with 200-300+ thousand miles on them with the original packs. Replacing the pack is not an issue.
