Re: What about that marketing scheme???

said by pkarlos_76:

Quoted from »www.hybridcars.com/faq.html

"How often do hybrid batteries need replacing? Is replacement expensive and disposal an environmental problem?"

Answer:
"The hybrid battery packs are designed to last for the lifetime of the vehicle, somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 miles, probably a whole lot longer. The warranty covers the batteries for between eight and ten years, depending on the car maker.
That answer is 100% true, of course, because by the time you have racked up that kind of mileage on a vehicle, it is not financially smart to buy a new battery, but instead to put that money towards a new car. Since for most people that means the get rid of the current car, then it is 100% true that the battery has lasted "the life of the vehicle."

Haha, wouldn't last long in my business, my 3/4 ton 4x4 work truck that I own and run my business from racks up 120,000 km a year. Of course we replace them every 3 to 5 years.
