Like I said earlier, your level of interest in a particular venture determines the passion you put into wanting to demystify it. First of all, it's a huge lie that changing complete cells cost 500 - 1m. That's a lie. There are ways to fix cells that you may not know about because like I said, your level of interest.

You don't make your reality about hybrid vehicles my own reality. I have mine, you have yours. If hybrid cars are as demonized as you paint, they won't be taxis worldwide. Make your research. Majority of Nigerians are emotional about things like these but I'm not the majority. I have had positive experiences with hybrid cars, including the one I mentioned earlier of my friend and his highlander hybrid of 7 years. We bought that car together in Cotonou. It is convenient for you to try to displace my own positive experiences with your negative ones, which were of course, caused by a lack of due diligence by your car owner friends. It doesn't work that way.

A hybrid vehicle, like other vehicles uses components that have a lifespan. Due diligence entails that you find out the history of what you're about paying for as you also cannot condemn a particular brand of non hybrid vehicle because it gave your friends problems.

Whatever you say u are right.
But I hope u know the meaning of probability and prevalence.
It's ur reality Vs my reality
Your experience Vs my experiences.
I am not discrediting what u saying but u r trying hard to discredit what I am saying.
Now since we all learning and sharing knowledge, from ur research could u be kind to tell us how much a good hybrid battery pack is as at today?
Or if it is repaired (which I doubt, how much does it cost and how long will it last)
I Know people buy and change faulty cells out of the whole pack but that's still luck as spare-part dealers will not dismantle a new pack and be selling individual cells, most times it's still out of a bad pack they will be searching for good cells which are already 90 or 95% out of service life.

I am glad u mentioned lifespan of car components, before u say what I am saying is a lie, let me ask you, what is the average lifespan of a Toyota/Honda Hybrid battery pack? My answer to that question is 8yrs...10yrs depending on usage. So u see...only people that r lucky to get the car brand new or partially used enjoy it, not we in Nigeria who get those cars after 10 or 15yrs of use.

These are realities and facts anything outside this is hope or wish. If u are hoping or wishing u will get one that is good that will last for u that's fine.

I asked for advice here before venturing into this hustle, I got little information. However, I did not want to be idle just after completing my masters and waiting for my statement of result.

I took the bold step and moved from enugu to Abuja to start bolt while looking for a job. This is my first week on bolt and it was quite good. Thanks to the advice of CheerfulGiverr and the likes. I also did 15k offline and I used 30k fuel. I work from 7am to 2pm and 4pm to 8-9pm



30k for fuel...... Which car are you using? Brother

Where did u get this information from? ...do u know what 250k miles is??

Many engines don't reach that mileage talkless of hybrid battery pack

Toyota official correspondence says 80k to 150k miles. And if u know batteries, they aren't just about mileage but age too...so even if it doesn't do mileage the years of use also impacts it.

I can post 100 links that will tell you they outlive 250,000 miles.

Let's even consider that for arguments sake, from your calculations of an average driver, u can hit 250k miles in less than 2years if ur car comes in with 150k miles on it from Yankee.

250k miles is a stretch brov

He said it's only the few people I know that it's happening to, I just don't like arguments.
The said Camry we used like 8k plus little fuel inside to ugheli, I was very sure the battery was working because it was switching from time to time.
That got me thinking, if there's difference, after all.
Normal Camry 2.4 can as well do the said journey with same amount of fuel.
The worst part is that the car is grounded as we speak.

Hybrid vehicles do not work on highway trips. They are only designed to work on inner city drives. On highway journeys your car needs to go fast and that is the opposite of what the hybrids were meant to do.

When you’re firing speed on the highway your cars computer will command the hybrid system to switch into rest mode and allow the full engines power to come into action. This in turn allows our car to go faster to keep up with the traffic on the highways. While in the city and there’s slow moving traffic or holdups the cars computer will signal the vehicles engine to go if while the hybrid system takes over to work your cars electronics and ac system making your car drive in low rpm modes.

So please do not judge the fuel consumption between a hybrid and internal combustion engine with highway journeys because hybrids are not designed to be used on highways at all. Your fuel consumption will be the same if you had a 1.6ltr hybrid and a 1.6ltr non hybrid engine. Where the hybrid will shine is when you compare them on a trip from say like lekki to badagry.

Caveat is if the hybrid batteries are working optimally.
And that isn't the case in >80% of the time when using or buying a Tokunbo Hybrid car. Talkless of naija used.
Except you are planning to buy brand new car
Or
u r going to invest in changing the complete battery cells. Budget 500k to 1m for that and that's for used not even brand new cells.
I know two people who bought and disposed off a Hybrid car in the space of 2months of purchase cos it wasn't what they thought as batteries were bad and replacement was expensive.

You actually don't have to change the entire unit if bad. You can run tests and change the specific cells that have issues. Those cells can also be tested before purchase to know the good ones. And they are not as expensive as they used to be a long time ago. There are now sections in our local market dedicated to hybrid parts. More availability means lower prices.

I totally disagree... Quality ride only gives you offline trips and the guy you mentioned doesn't do offlines. Most times self offline trips are so deceptive with only a few pays.

That ride is not as rugged as the Toyota Corolla or matrix he's using... Not everywhere the matrix can access a Camry can reason I advised Mr. Reuben to chose his devil wisely.

Personally, the taught of having to be nice to riders, asking how your day went n all dose shit doesn't interest me. Even the ones who try to bring up conversations I don't rili feel moved to reply. Fvck all dose you don't know who your helper is. My job is to take you from point A to B. If you need someone to talk to, Dial Inspiration FM and talk all you want.

That's my own view sha..
