The Prius has a mechanical key inside the electronic keyfob to unlock the doors. Then it has passive RFID that works by holding the fob near the start button. A battery failure won't ever prevent entry into the vehicle or keep the car from starting.

The waste is miniscule, and recycling is possible.
