TromboneAl said:The other problem I have with hybrids is that they are too complex. Two complete motor systems. Just as in programming, sometimes you can be too clever.
Also, concerning the batteries:
"The batteries on average last 8 to 10 years and cost around $6800 to replace. "
In other words, your car will be automatically "totalled" in 9 years, since it will cost more to replace the batteries than the car is worth.
- curious, when the battery goes dead, wont the car gas engine still work?, I would think it would, you just couldnt operate it as a hybrid anymore. I supsect the batteries will go down in price also. Also, those priuses look like space pods.
