Is it thought that most hybrid batteries will last to the 120000 mile mark. Since hybrid vehicles are a relatively new phenomenon, little long term testing has been done. Battery technology continues to improve though, so it is likely that later models may have even longer battery lives.

How are plug-in hybrid cars different from regular hybrid cars?
A hybrid does not plug into an outlet, all of the electricity used to charge its batteries comes from a fossil fuel engine on the car.Electric cars, on the other hand, can only be charged from an outlet, which takes a long time. They are very cheap and environmentally-friendly to operate, but the distance they can travel is limited, and charging stations only exist in a few places.Plug-in hybrids are the best of both worlds. They are like regular hybrid cars except that they can also charge their batteries by plugging them into the wall. So for short common trips, like driving to work every day, they can be recharged during the night and then drive fully-electric, saving energy. For long trips, the gasoline engine can be used to charge the batteries, giving them long range, and they don't need to be plugged into a charging station to operate; the engine can provide energy if there's no charging station around.
