IIRC you can replace the battery in a Prius for under $1000 these days and they're warrantied for at least 160,000km, with a good percentage of them lasting multiple times that. For comparisons sake, a Golf needs a DSG service costing that much every 60,000km. You'll do that several times before an equivalent Prius battery needs replacement. This will charge the hybrid battery which can then continue to charge the 12v battery. If you can do this for 30-60 minutes the engine will come in and switch off 3 or 4 times depending on what’s in the hybrid battery. You need to do this safely, you need to consider being with the car whilst it is in Ready mode for security reasons
The RAV4 Hybrid is EPA rated at 41 mpg city/38 mpg highway, which is even more impressive. But the RAV4 Prime, thanks to its plug-in technology (and 18.1 kWh battery) that allows the vehicle to
The hybrid is a better choice if you can get one for only $2000 more than the gas model without waiting 6 months, and that's a big if. The gas savings will be noticeable every month, but if you buy one that is inflated by $5-10k, it will take years and years to break even. 4.
Say you charge it to 80% and take it down to 30%. It should last a good long while like that. Generally they will lose something like 10-20% of their capacity after a decade, but that's about it. So let's get to the numbers. Most EVs batteries are warrentied for 8 to 10 years at 80% capacity. I just test drove a 2014 Jetta Hybrid SEL which is listed for a decent price, and before I pull the trigger, I want to know how long the battery will last. If I remember correctly, the HV battery is warranted for 8/100. It'll last a long time, but at a constantly diminished capacity, just like your cell phone battery. The hybrid battery and hybrid related system has a warranty of 8 years. At least in Canada anyway. But from my research the batteries should last beyond 10 years and likely the life of the vehicle. Also, when a battery does become "weak" it is often just a few cells of the battery that are bad and just those cells need to be replaced. yh2p.
