businessman7: ABEG WHAT'S THE MEANING OF HYBRID AND NON HYBRID |

In Nigeria, no advantage whatsoever. 1. They are expensive. Sure you'll be saving about 10 a week of fuel. 10k*50 weeks if you drive it every day is about 500k. That hybrid likely cost 2-4M more than a used petrol-only car so you need to keep the car for 4-8 years before you break even. I can afford 10k today, but not 2M extra so no hybrid for me. 2. Expensive to maintain 3. You can't take it to most mechanics as they will just break it for you. 1 Like |

Lower fuel consumption Higher torque and acceleration compared to non-hybrid versions with similar engine capacity Quiet Can be used in accessory mode for a long time as the auxiliary battery is a deep cycle type (e.g playing music while car is off) Iridium Spark plugs, brake pads last for about 100,000 miles Car inverter can be used to power other appliances (not directly and at user's risk) Environmentally friendly Mostly come as high trim models, like XLE In case of engine overheat, car can be managed easily to a safe destination or a mechanic workshop. You will simply drive gently, glide and take advantage of downhills to recharge battery Less maintenance on electric power steering (no fluid), no belt driven Waterbury and AC compressor (not all) The hybrid system is protected and reliable if we'll maintained The Atkinson engine is reliable There are several advantages of hybrid cars compared to non-hybrids.

I quite agree with every poster here, and have shared in the typical hybrid scare because of people's bitter experiences. Long story short, hybrid vehicle are light years better than regular vehicles. To successfully use a hybrid vehicle, you must get the right information - no other way. Thats' why we started “Hybrid Vehicles Fundamentals Program” to equip users and would be users on hybrid vehicle ownership in Nigeria. Hybrid vehicles by design, are meant to be low maintenance vehicles however people usually get it wrong during acquisition of these vehicles and must live with the consequences, but these could be avoided. For instance, i posted here a while ago in this thread a few of the pitfalls users ought to be aware of “https://www.nairaland.com/2392504/need-advice-2007-camry-hybrid#44119842” Mr. Jossy 2007 prius 1NZ-FXE 2010 prius 2ZR-FXE hybrids dot com dot ng |

ozone0801:bro you are very correct. They say the car battery last 10 yrs without issues but we buy tokunbo in Nigeria. Imagine buying a 2009 hybrid in 2018. 9 yrs don go already |

Most people talking "evil" about hybrid or electric vehicles, is just because of the battery pack problems. For instance, if you got a new hybrid vehicle, that's still under warranty from the dealership, you have no problems, because almost all the major HV systems like, 1. Inverter/converter assembly 2. HV pack 3. Transmission systems (eCVT) 4. Electric compressors . . . n..., would be replaced, by the manufacturer, at no cost to you. That's simply because you may have being doing a your maintenances at the dealerships, or there was simply a recall on those components as a result of manufacturer flaws. So, coming home now, when you buy a used hybrid vehicle, be aware that the "juice" in it has already being used. ¶¶¶all other HV components, apart from the HV battery pack, don't get to fail suddenly. But for the HV battery, it is a wear and tear component, like the way tour cars engines wear with time (distances covered, or number of years in use). So, please, those against hybrid vehicles should realised that y lots of folks in Nigeria are scared and complain about such cars, is because of the cost of maintenance of such cars. Definitely, the HV battery is like tour phones battery. You shouldn't expect to get 100% capacity from a vehicle that has spent more than 10-15years of usage. It would sure break down, some day. The vest bet for anyone who wants a hybrid vehicle, is to invest in the battery, either by, 1. Get new battery from Toyota USA for $3000 2. Rebuilt one from any junk yard, or accident car 3. Get a used battery pack from the open market Option #1, would take you to 10-15 years, i f you want to own the car for years to come.
