Hybrid legends: New batteries every few years
What's your favorite hybrid lie?This week as I checked out the blogosphere, I was surprised to read several hybrid bashes claiming that new batteries have to be bought every few years for hybrid cars. I thought most finally knew this wasn't true?
Some of the first Toyota Prius hybrids have now been on the road more than 10 years with that same battery pack, and today's battery pack is even better. There are many hybrids from Toyota, Honda, and Ford that have achieved a few 100,000 miles without ANY service problems. Consumer Reports has consistently given hybrids extremely high reliability marks.
Yet, the urban legends of hybrids won't go away. What's your favorite false myth regarding hybrids?
