How fast is a Ford Fusion Energi’s battery degradation?

I want to get a hybrid car but I’m nervous about the possibility of needing to replace the battery. It’s so expensive! Do Ford Fusion Energi battery packs last for a long time?

batteries will degrade at a rate of about 1.3% loss per year. This means that your battery will last for approximately eight to ten years before it needs to be replaced.
Additionally, it’s important to point out that replacing a hybrid vehicle’s battery is typically less expensive than replacing the battery in a fully electric vehicle. Replacements could cost anywhere from $500 to $8,000 depending on the conditions of the maintenance being performed.
The best way to ensure that your vehicle’s battery stays in good shape is to take good care of your car. Keep up with
your maintenance schedule
and try not to charge your car battery to 100% to preserve your battery life as much as possible.
