Old hybrids were notoriously bad at battery management, so they degraded fast. A modern EV doesn't brutally abuse its batteries like that, so they last a long long time.
Thats simply not true, my main drive has had nothing but problems with the batteries and has been on a recall and not in a position to fully charge since October - Thats a car thats just months old. The biggest problem I find, is the time it takes to charge, particularly when using the combustion engine and charging whilst driving, this is taking noticeably longer and longer). EV are unquestionably the future to some degree, but they are neither the longterm answer nor is the infrastructure even close to being ready to accommodate a fully electrified society at this time.
