How about financial risk?
Have you seen the replacement cost for a battery?
Our cars are tools, not joyrides.
We maintain them well and drive our cars til they drop.
A hybrid makes no sense for us for that reason.
An ICE vehicle makes much more financial sense.
A full EV does not make financial sense to me either. However a hybrid battery replacement costs is much more modest than replacing a full EV.
You spend about $3,000 on gas each year, so replacing a hybrid battery and not having to fill up over the course of a year is basically neutral, in terms of cost.
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HYBRID BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Different makes and models use different hybrid batteries, and it varies depending if the vehicle is a mild hybrid, full hybrid, or plug-in hybrid. The battery pack itself is the majority of the cost with variations ranging from around $1,000 to $6,000, although most batteries for common models tend to be under $3,000.
