Would you actually buy a new $2000 OEM block for your $500 Prius? I know I wouldn't. I would either scrap the car if it cracked the block or buy a complete junkyard engine as I have done with other old cars.

BEVs are no different than ICE when it comes to major repairs when they are 15 - 20 years old. VERY few people are going to spend more fixing the car than it is worth.
