Yea.

1. Make sure you avoid flooded(water) area as if you are driving a bag of salt.

2. Make sure you have enough money to replace the battery when it slowly but surely goes down. My friend has parked his car for the past 8 months because they are telling him the battery is about 700k.

3. Most Nigerians mechanics are still finding it difficult to work on when there is a problem because most the components are electrical like ABS SYSTEM, A/C Compressor, etc. Go to most mechanic shops and see the number of abandoned hybrid cars. That's all I can say for now.

Meanwhile, it's a car you will enjoy when it's still new. GOODLUCK BRO.

What kind of car, uses a 700k battery? And what model of battery is that??

We're talking of Hybrid vehicles. They use rechargeable batteries up to ten times larger than the battery you are used to with capacity to store much more power.

nurey:

hybrid cars have special batteries apart from the one all cars use to start their engine. this batteries are mostly placed at the chair areas of the car. This is where the energy generated are stored and then used to propel the car when power is needed. So basically hybrids use little petrol and battery to support reason why they have the best fuel economy technology.
if you get a good one with the ba3 still intact you won't have issues with it, I know 4 people using that car,
1. Toyota highlander hybrid 3yrs running no issue
2. Toyota camry (aka muscle) 4yrs running, this guy always stay with mechanics when working on his car
3. Toyota prius 1yr
4. ford escape 3months old rearly driven

Guys, thanks for the education. Much appreciated. What about those cars that use compressed gas and petrol in dual-fuel mode? What are they called??

@OP, it seems you have done your homework, you have elucidiated the concerns with hybrid already.except you're buying a new car, although sometimes you might be lucky if it's a used vehicle. besides most american airlines do not accept to put hybrid batteries on board to Nigeria claiming contraband, only emirates accepted to ship and did ship.

on the 700k bill, i think is over priced, trust me you can fix with less, say 200k, worse case scenario 300-400k

The most expensive battery here in the UK is that of the Toyota Prius Plug-In.

£6,500.

nurey:


did you make a mistake in this quote and Is it for the 2020 model year battery? cause £6500 to naira = break a bank fo replacement.

Siena:


I did not make a mistake.

That is the price of the HV battery fitted to the 2012-2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In. Very different to that of the HV battery fitted to the regular gen 3 Prius from 2009-2015.
