This is why I like NYC a lot.
Fortunately in my part of town the streets are sufficiently narrow. Though it gives me a slight unpleasant disorientation when I hear so many cars wooshing past or even tire skrring
most prius batteries seem to last 150k-200k miles so unless you’re looking at a really old car its probably not a concern
you can also just check the battery health and if its not megalow then it’s still pretty likely to pay itself off before it dies (and might even last longer than the ICE car anyways lol)
I do admit that the extreme budget end (if you’re looking like 4k ish or even less) is definitely likely to only hit those “really old” hybrids so like in that case fair enough tbh
Oh yeah, I’ve heard that car batteries sadly don’t have a great lifespan? I only remember this as a talking point while watching a video about Elon Musk tesla trucks
EV batteries often don’t
hybrid batteries are much smaller and do much less work so they tend to last much longer
hybrids stay winning
Fortnite chapter 1 season 8 referen’se
they’re also usually pretty cheap and easy to replace (comparatively) because they are small
Itsy bitsy
hey orange do you happen to have a sponsor from a hybrid company
just asking
I’ve got like 8k to spend, and iirc Prius insurance is also not cheap
She’s asking for a friend. I am the friend
no
and I actually hate the automotive industry so much that I literally moved out of detroit to go work in the defense industry instead lmaoooooo
in my honest opinion my current industry literally does less net harm
so
but yeah like highkey fuck the automotive industry
incapable of making anything except the worst possible decision
idk much about prius insurance rates since I do not own a prius
unfortunate if true, but I also would be surprised given by most metrics a prius should last much longer than an ICE-only car
imho soolit you should get into an insanely predatory payment plan for a $60,000 truck that you don’t want, or need, that will also triple your gas costs
