Not to mention, no replacement cost of hugely expensive battery packs.
Toyota warranties the battery in my wife’s Prius for EIGHT YEARS/ 1OOK MILES. (10 years or 150,000 miles in California)
The Prius traction batteries have an exceptional track record.
And the Prius will run OK with a dead battery, not great.
“Toyota warranties the battery in my wife’s Prius for EIGHT YEARS/ 1OOK MILES.”
Ok, and how much is it to replace the batteries on your 8 year old car?
I keep my cars 10 years or more, and have no concern about replacing the one battery for about $70.
