You can argue that the heavy metals and Chinese manufacturing plus charging on natural gas or coal is worse than an ICE, but no point in arguing about extra long term life when most ICE's don't last any longer than an initial battery would.
I used to rail against Priuses and the lack of actual environmental upside, but even the first gen are largely still on the road, something that certainly can't be said of most cars from that era, much less BMW's.

My 335i has 226k, and I'm just now upgrading the turbos etc to make 700hp. Plan on it going to 400k. |
Of course it's possible, but certainly the exception.
My wife's X1 35i was totaled with 27k miles.
My M Coupe got an AA turbo at 150k miles.
