I include wise driving habits in maintenance.
You can get a lot more out of your brakes, tires, etc...
But maintenance costs are another reason I won’t own a hybrid or an EV.
We have friends and family who own them, and they all pay more for maintenance than we do.
Hybrids are mostly mechanical, hardly different than EV’s. So the costs should be about the same for the mechanical parts and the battery should pay for itself over the driving life of the car.
I don’t lump hybrids in same class as EV’s, as far as problems go. It’s a mechanical car with the addition of a battery that pays for itself in how much driving you do, unless you are a long-hauler traveler.
