Most hybrids don't use lithium but NiMH batteries, like mine.
Now some earlier hybrids do have battery trouble, others don't.
It is entirely possible to make a hybrid with the battery lasting for 300 K miles or more, as several Prius and 2nd gen Insight owners have experienced.
The wear on the ICE should be less, just like brakes etc so less maintenance on those.
